Guest DoesJackHunt Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 21 minutes ago, Kevin Pressmans Pen said: It’s all relative though, the top 10 all have 70 points. If we made a league of 12 actual pub teams and 12 professional teams, what would happen. The pro teams would win every game vs the pub teams and the top 12 would have a massive number of points relative to the bottom 12 (who could only beat each other). So the number of points is irrelevant without the context of the other sides in the league plus how the competition is faring. In our case, due to the fallout from covid the bottom half of league 1 have more constrained budgets than usual, and we have a rich benefactor wasting money on wages plus a fan base which is probably 3-4 times the size of most of the other clubs. Our resources are on another level. We should have done better than we have over the season. But let’s get behind them for hopefully the last 4 games and get over the line now.

DM has done great IMO - again, I keep saying it, yes we’ve a very strong squad now but just look at the team we came down with a year ago. Could barely field a starting XI and weren’t allowed to buy anyone else. Quite miraculous really, in that context. Shame some (the loud but tiny, tiny minority) can't even remember back to the start of the season. He's worked the proverbial miracle.

edwinowl Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 He’s done a good job. Made mistakes along the way and I’m sure he’d admit that. Been hamstrung all Season with ridiculous injury list. Were 4th and have play off destiny in our own hands. That will do for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Yeah DM will probably admit himself he's got it wrong in some games especially away from home. For me it's more that we've been punished for individual errors a lot that's cost us and all too often not clinical or composed enough in from of goal,which we still need to improve on substantially. Last night was a classic example we had 20+ shots, with only 4/5 on target compared to them half a dozen at most. Quite a few of those tight games and draws would have been wins if our finishing was better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make it hard for ourselves all the time , same against Crewe at home we should have had the game sewn up first 15 mins, We should undoubtedly be taking more of the chances we create and we should be defending better especially at set plays. The opening post doesn't deserve to be scorned at just because the site leader thinks it should. We are almost on the play offs and that is a decent achievement but god we know how to make hard work of winning games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do despair with some of our fans. Get the feeling some if them can't wait for us to fail so they can claim they were right all along. But this one is special let's sack the manager who gets us promotion and replace him with "who, I'm not sure". Glad he's not running the club.

If we do manage to get promoted this season, I would probably look at replacing Moore. With who, I'm not sure. But I'm not convinced he is capable of sorting the defence out and giving us a chance of staying up. Although I really hope I am wrong. Don’t get your logic. Only Wigan have lost less games than us all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcGibbo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Fine margins in seasons. Take Michael Smith out of Rotherham's team for a month or so and I imagine they would struggle too. Lose Richard Wood and your other experienced central defenders and they would go on a losing run too. 82 points and we played a pretty large spell with just one recognised central defender. With Gregory and Windass and without the defensive injury crisis we'd have made automatics there's no question. All in all he's done a great job IMO; especially given the personnel turnaround.
