One De Bilde Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The teams who win titles (or go up) can grind out a result when not playing well. We weren't great tonight but we were against Barnsley, different performances but same end product - 3 points and ultimately that's all that matters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play like that against the top teams in the division we will struggle. that could easily have been a draw without the keeper howler. I still think we need to appoint a manager that isn’t Bullen, he’s done a great job a brilliant job but nows the time. Who are the top teams?????? 9 from 12.... great start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Newsome Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Best start in years, 9 points from 12 and we should have had something on Saturday, Dotty come on cheer up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Dotty, have a word with yourself. Give your head a wobble. We won, We never looked like losing. 9 points from 4 games. Be happy. Edited August 20, 2019 by prowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just now, WalthamOwl said: That 1st half will have done Bullen no favours. However we won the game and that’s all that matters. Yes we should be beating teams like Luton and things will be a lot tougher when we play the better teams. Still don’t think Bullen is the answer long term but he deserves a few more games as caretaker imo. That's a fair ascertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_owl Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 We need to improve to stand a chance for me. After the goal went in we looked a lot better but before we looked lacklustre. Onwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Not hit any kind of stride yet. It's still August and we'll hopefully get better as the new lads continue to settle in. I doubt we'll stay at the top for too long, but give it time and see where we are and how we're playing in a few months. Far from the finished article but finding a way to win, that'll do for me.

Spondon Owl Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 1 minute ago, deano said: Plenty will disagree which is fair enough but I do agree. Hope to be proved wrong but I fear what will happen against the better teams. Echo the sentiment. Tactically Lee hasn't set us up particularly well (imo) to exploit other teams weaknesses. We've been lucky tonight but while I think with lee at the helm we definitely won't go down but I also wouldn't expect us to end up challenging either. A good manager would have us pushing for top 6 if not 4th or 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were great against the 6 fingered ones, lost at millwall while playing well. Grinding out results while not at your best is the sign of a good side. You know, instead of losing games while not playing your best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I think it’s a case of job done. We probably played better at Millwall. But when you’re expected to win at home it doesn’t always result in a good performance. How many times have we then raised it against the teams we expect to hammer us?

Morepork Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 In this league you take what you can get. Surely nobody expects to win attractively or even convincingly every game. There are plenty of unanswered questions about the wisdom of our current situation but I can't bring myself to criticise a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
