Wozzer Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Nah. Post Schmeichel Ferguson spent regularly on buying then discarding goalkeepers he clearly couldn't stop making individual errors until he finally found one that didn't. In answer to your first post, again - the likes of Mourinho and Ferguson can & do/did stop players making individual errors. To your second post - any advances on 100% or are you going to leave the strawmanning there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 6 5 Other teams have easier run-in's than us, but we're in decent form and much better than the other relegation scrappers. So I think 5 wins (or 4 and a few draws) is doable from the last 11 games. No way that I would've said that 11 games ago after the loss to Millwall that ended Dunn's reign.

deyres42 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Play like we have the last three games and we'll do well to win another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceskylatic Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Play like we have the last three games and we'll do well to win another one. My thoughts too.After the initial impetus shown in our performances under a new manager we've dropped a few levels in our last few games.

Hank Kingsley Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Play like we have the last three games and we'll do well to win another one. Spot on, it was dire at times. We need to improve a lot and rapid cos we won't be playing anyone as :censored:e as Blackpool again this season. When did we sack the fitness coach?

real Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Play like we have the last three games and we'll do well to win another one. Anyone moaning about getting 4 points from 3 games where we've played badly, after picking up 12 points in the 6 games before that, is clearly just waiting for an opportunity to whine. Whether the improvement in points gained will keep us up is questionable, but the fact that we've improved cannot be ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Did we really see a team that was treating that like a cup final in the first half last night? No tempo, urgency or endeavour from anyone other than the front two. It's safe to say that if we start as poorly as that on Saturday that we will be a couple down by halftime.

I'm not so sure performances have improved all that much, things will get a lot tougher from here on in and I think we will need to perform a lot better to get the points we need.

bigfatjoe1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I really don't give a :censored: about perfromances. Nine games ago there wasn't a cat in hells chance of staying up. Now we have a fighting chance and some people are actually moaning. Really??? It's all about the results. Four wins, four draws and one defeat. Keep digging in and fighting. Let's get over the line. It's all about the points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazzin19 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 In the form guide (last 6 games) we are 8th. That is a massive improvement, might not play football like barca, might not even play football like barnsley, but who gives a :censored: at this point. Keep gaining points like we have and we will stay up. That's the only important thing coz if we go down we arnt coming back up. Should we stay up then next season concentrate on playing better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Kingsley Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 You need a certain level of performance to get points though and unless we improve dramatically we'll struggle to get enough to stay up. Rochdale won't be as inept as Blackpool were that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tempo, urgency or endeavour from anyone other than the front two. It's safe to say that if we start as poorly as that on Saturday that we will be a couple down by halftime. We saw a side struggling under the weight and pressure of the occasion. I thought every player tried their best. I felt too many players were over-thinking every pass because of nerves. The time Mike Jones tried to take on their defenders when a cross was the best option is an example from last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you also know that we used to be 8 points behind 20th place but now only goal difference keeps us from being there. If that turnaround is maintained then we will no longer be in the bottom four.

If that turnaround is maintained then we will no longer be in the bottom four. That I did know. Did you know that all bar 3 of our remaining games are against teams in the top half who all have realistic hopes of promotion or making the play-offs. My point being that to maintain that turnaround our performances will have to improve, a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They drop less points than teams in the bottom four though, hence their position in the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
