jonnyowl Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The amazing thing is, beat Leeds and we are 1 point behind them! We've probably played well in about 3 out of 9 games this season, Millwall, Reading away and today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking up results when you are not playing well is what gets you promotion as we will have 5 or 6 games in row this season where we play absolutely brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 So we’re agreed we’re picking up momentum then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfsmith Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 It's perhaps a little optimistic that six positive results at a particular point in time will discredit all critics. However, it's very promising and I'll be even more impressed if the six fixtures from Forest onwards produce a similar points tally! That form might really discredit all critics.

Athelwulf Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yes, but that table fails to take into consideration the standard of the opposition. I mean, we played some poor sides in the last six games prior to Stoke. I think under Jostle we'll finish where we deserve to be. The snag is that United will probably finish a quarter of a league higher than expected. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 2nd in the form table over the last 6 games 4th in the form table over the last 12 games 6th in the form table over the last 20 games Hard to complain at that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you're one of those that thinks Westwood should be back in goal, Forestieri should be in the side regardless of effort and commitment he puts in, and that Jos doesn't wave his arms around enough and scream from the touchlines Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your anger that surfaces when we win; must spoilt it for you. Relax. We get it; you think done fans are over critical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, we won three out of three against poor sides, yet in the last three games against better teams we've taken 4 points from 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 We regularly top the form tables every season for us it’s about consistency and keeping it up because we always nose dive at crucial points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate we've just beaten Aston Villa after the best start we've had in years, with a side of kids coming through and players that haven't been playing for us previously etc Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyCraig Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 It's a very strange and wonderful League this season season isn't it. We're one point behind Brentford who absolutely tonked us and put us on a certain path towards relegation just a few short weeks ago. Gonna be an exciting season. I think if we can shore up our defense and start keeping clean sheets, we have a genuine chance for promotion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighten up man and enjoy the win. There will be plenty more opportunities to criticise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right It's becoming absolutely blatant that this division is right there for the taking We should just go for it and Keegan our way to promotion Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uffs Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Tighten up our defensive play and we might surprise a few. What boils my p!ss is the overreaction to a defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
