hangonrose Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Here we go again....two defeats on the trot (not unheard of for any team), and that's the end of the season. Still in the top 6 and with a useful goal difference. Blimey, WBA lost to M'bro today, the much-vaunted Brentford and Preston lost too. Perspective, boys, please. In case you've forgotten, this is football - and we go again after the cup-tie. Firdst defeat at home since August - can't say that's bad, for a team that isn't exactly Liverpool.

UTO If we somehow manage to fluke ourselves into the top 6, what's the point? We all know this mentally weak team will collapse under the pressure and bottle it? Sick of them. Every single one of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Top six is a false position, just like under dross I’m sorry but if you can remain positive after that then you mustn’t understand football and what makes a team good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castleford Owl Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It’s not an overreaction at all, there’s an inevitability about us. We may make the top 6, but this set of players don’t have the heart to take promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Even after the last couple of poor performances, we are still higher than I was expecting us to be and it has raised hopes beyond what we are likely capable of with this squad. Fletcher has played such a huge role in elevating us to half a season of over-achievement. If he does leave in the transfer window, and we don't have any funds to replace him, the second half of the season could be grim indeed. And it's so close in the top half of the table, it wouldn't take too much of a decline for us to drop quickly out of contention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It's not just that we've lost two game it's that we've been utterly toothless in both. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 To be be fair to Monk he did warn us that there'd be a blip at some stage straight after the Forest game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Of The Roasters Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I think the frustrating thing is that if we had taken all six points from our last two games then we would have been just five points from an automatic promotion place - five points with WBA and Leeds wobbling a bit........ This always happens. I don't know if it's the managers or the players, but every time we put a decent run together and it looks like we could put some distance between ourselves and the chasing pack, we can never push on. We blow it. Every time. Something is missing. Maybe we need more leaders on the pitch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Its not an overreaction when folk see the team sheet and say "Reach and Murphy will end up wide in the same place"...Then lo and behold....

Rhubarb n Custard Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 There's no getting away from the fact we have an average team but we are not in a false position - we are exactly where we deserve to be. Given the squad limitations we shouldn't be overly disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Griptite Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Not the best performance today but also not the worst. We deserved to lose because they scored two and we scored one but on another day we'd have got something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Today I’ve accepted we’re sh!te and it’s going to make struggling through the rest of the season a lot easier for me Any points we pick up are a bonus from now on with these bottlers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans shouldn't have the nous to work that out so quickly. I hate having a go at managers, especially ones who’ve not been in the job long and haven’t been able to bring their own players in. But Monk going back to 433 disappointed me to say the least. It doesn’t work. We don’t have the players for it. Surely Winnall and Rhodes deserved a try together. In the long term I still think Monk can do well here, let’s also not forget he’s got very limited options atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Don't worry no embargo let's wait for all the improved players coming in in January. Will we get to the last day before any business is done like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
