I cant think what we charge as any bearing on the expectations …..if we charged a tenner would we expect to be bottom of the league? …..chansiri got it wrong we all know that but how we perform( or not) as nothing to do with what we pay .

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Just now, WalthamOwl said: 1 win from 5 is a poor return. Yes we have been unlucky but still disappointing. I think the fact our early games were against a lot of poorer teams in the division, sort of gave everyone a false hope I'd say that until Monk has had at least one transfer window, we're top 10 material, nothing more If he's able to sign 2 or 3, we could make the play offs Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Have a mid table team expect a mid table finish. Why have we got a mid table Championship team when we've been paying top half Prem prices for five years?

Off the top of my head Because we lost a play off Because that manager then developed a fear of losing The squad stagnated as we hoped they'd be able to get there again Our recruitment hasn't been savvy.

HIGHERSTATE Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 At 70 minutes today I would have killed for a 1-1 draw. Thought we were awful for a lot of the match today. Until Monk funnily gave the green light to attack on 80 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kidneys Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Let's just accept we are an upper mid-table side with a very outside shot of 6th place if all the pieces fell into place. It's much easier because the hope will kill us ... We're just very average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly couldn't see much at the other end as we are sat near the front of the kop......and in that second half before the 80th minute we only got into the area twice because Nuhiu won two flick ons...it was just a battle and our only outlet was lump it to Atdhe or Fletcher..We didn't string more than two passes together..We couldn't get Bannan on the ball and it was a continuous lump it and hope...I give Swansea credit for limiting our game and cancelling our outlets through the middle and on the wing.

Bigblueowl Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) I'm quite happy for us to be sitting in 7th/8th position for a few weeks as long as it doesn't get away from us! Let the pressure be on the top 6 for now whilst we quietly go about our business! Edited November 9, 2019 by Bigblueowl Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Today was disappointing in a different way to the Carlos days We’re actually trying to attack and win games but we haven’t got the quality to actually do it Not long ago we just sat back and got battered without crossing the halfway line Im annoyed with Wednesday at the moment but at least we seem to be having a go at winning even though we haven’t got the quality to finish sides off Hoping for better things in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think we all had one. I said during the first half, if we don't score now it's going to be a long afternoon..And up to the 80th minute it felt justified. I felt the same as I did during the Stoke match.. Quite a bit of the football under Monk has been awful to watch..But I understand needs must at the moment and its not a complaint.

We currently sit seventh. We could actually be higher but for some injury time conceding in the last two. Par for the course considering Bruce-gate and the squad being together so long. Are people really surprised we have dropped some points? Is it reactionary or did something happen (that i clearly missed) between Bruce leaving and Blackburn that propelled people's expectations? I keep hearing were not going to go up now. That we won't challenge top two. We're we ever expecting to? ‘best fans in the country’ is often echoed around this forum, I’d suggest we’re closer to being the worst... Large swathes are shockingly fickle, and don’t get me started on the ‘fans’ leaving at 85 minutes. Fox giving his own fans the big ‘hand on ears’ celebration when he scored is so embarrassing for us as a club... i’m afraid our fans are just morally bankrupt.
