Yes I'd extinguished that from my memory, outfought from minute 1 that day(not that I was in the ground from minute 1). Still another 12game unbeaten run and we will be in top 6 by end of that. Personally I'm fed up of sacking managers every few months so would rather give Moore a couple of seasons to see what he can do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the season it looked like we were going to be relying on the U23s to provide much of the squad. Since then DM was able to bring in, on the face of it, some top players for this league. Now we have, on paper, a squad that certainly should be top six as a minimum. That's what's changed expectations IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_owl Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) If he loses today surely he is toast. He is an absolute clown Moore. He has the players to be in the top 3 but has no idea how to use them. No Moore please. Edited January 2, 2022 by Brad_owl 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Moore started recruiting the likes of Sow, Berahino and other similar unemployed footballers it was said we might get one that turns out to be a bit of a ‘gem’ That type of management is ‘last hope’ and prey in the hope it might just pay off and win som praise. Sorry but pay peanuts get monkeys as it’s therefore hard to see many of the last summer’s signings doing anything to get supporters adrenaline racing. Wing reminds me of a poor Adam Reach - has all the potential but too scared (or bothered) to break into a sweat for our club. This nightmare will only end when Chansiri sells up and new owners have a Brentford style plan - just don’t think it will happen anytime soon.

We have also let leads slop away and played games that we should have won but didn't however before the season started I was hoping for a season of stability with mid table to outside chance of play offs so in general I'm OK with this season. Hopefully over next few weeks we win more than we lose and by end of February be within a game or 2 of the play offs. Yeah meanwhile Rotherham win again and go top,WW win and get 3 more points pulling further away...but we are to be happy with mid table and maybe,maybe a push for a play off place.... What is the matter with our fan base satisfied with such a lack of ambition? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has a lack of ambition But not everyone has a childish petulance and a need to be top of the league at Christmas, knowing full well there's everything to play for and that there's lots of games to be played It's not where you're at in January but at the end of the season that matters The way some are spitting dummies out and crying like babies at the moment is embarrassing 2 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The repeated mentions of Rotherham tells a tale. Can't help thinking their being on top is a big part of the problem to some here, who let's face it are primed for a bit of wailing at the best of times. It's an important psychological principle, especially in this modern era of superficiality and fakery, to compare yourself to who you were yesterday and not to who someone else is today.
