Simon78 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Not happy I said before Reading game our first 6 games are all winnable then we go and lose to bloody Millwall. Will take 4 points from the next 2 though, be a decent start then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not trying to suppress anyone’s opinion, but come on... it’s like we’re waiting for things to go wrong while they’re going right. Not any glaring/major faults so far that I can see. In fact we might even start putting more chances away that we’re creating - then what do we do ? Lets enjoy it, at least a bit. I’m happy Meggo I’d be happier if we’d got an experienced Championship manager with a record of getting teams promoted to the Premier League though, a replacement for Bruce. I still don’t think that Bullen is managerial material. I’d keep him on as a coach though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Delighted we have 9 points but have underlying concerns which are very obvious. So I would say worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cant be unhappy, were top of the league for crying out loud. Last nights performance was uninspiring and we looked vague. Bannan and Reach didnt look 100% and fletcher at his age can't keep theat sort of effort up all season. Harris, murphy and Borner all looked good. preston will be a far stronger test for us to evaluate how well (or not) we are actually doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobness Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Going into the international break under Jos, weren't we in 6th? Were fans expressing concern then also just "scared to be happy"? When the football on the pitch is disjointed, it simply doesn't bode well. The same fans accused of being downers will feel positive when it looks like things are coming together. Unfortunately, besides for our current league position, it appears we are lacking something if we intend to compete. While we may sort it out, losing to 10-man Milwall and scraping out a win (at home) against Luton, is hardly reason to celebrate.

He won't be happy until bullen loses a couple on the bounce or he'l never get to say i told you so. When that happens he will be reyt happy cos we will end up with another jos, or an out of work talking head. With guaranteed promotion though and very exciting football.

ZicoSterland2 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 9 points out of 12. Top of the league whats not to be happy about. Enjoy the ride in what could be a tight league this year. Too many doom and gloom merchants on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Had our worst pre season for years. Managerless. 9 points out of a possible 12. Top of the league. Still people aren't happy. Says it all really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we didn't look disjointed in our first two games and we certainly looked much better in the 2nd half last night. I'm sorry, but you are looking to be negative for the sake of it.

I'm sorry, but you are looking to be negative for the sake of it. It's not about being negative, it's about whether I believe we will be able to compete based on what I've seen so far. Of course I would like Bullen to be the answer, why wouldn't I? But if I'm being honest with myself, I just don't think he is, and I'm not sure what he's substantively done to suggest he is up for the task. For what it's worth, I wanted Jos to be a smashing success, and the same goes for every manager we've ever hired. Would be well chuffed to be proven wrong, even more so because Bullen has been an outstanding servant for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Apolon Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'm happy. Very much so. We cannot control who leads the team. Not down to us. If its Bullen its him, someone else I will get behind them too. But, for, what, 25 years things have become synonymous with Wednesday; We start badly We always lose or draw to "smaller" teams We have done neither of those things, and we always play better against those who are more expressive. And for those who say "I always expected us to win the first 6" that's a ludicrous statement to make as a championship team. So for anyone who is scaremongering about when we play the big boys, we will get chances probably more so than against the lutons of the world.
