Tommy_Fent Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I've supported the club for 18 years and never whitnessed one which is quite shocking really, but I tell you what days like today will ensure that if we ever do win promotion out of this Division it will be one hell of a party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever blue Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 We lack the killer insinct that clubs going for promotion or the play offs need. Its time for P.D. to become MR angry and tell the lads a few home truths. On first half stats alone we should have wrapped this game up.

LeylandLatic Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 We've made things difficult for ourselves by losing today but everybody in and around the play offs are still dropping points all over the place. We just have to make the most of our games against our rivals and we'll still be in with a good shout. If we were more clinical we'd be pushing the autos pretty hard, it's nothing to do with the overall performances in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 I think today said to me that it's not going to happen this season, but my point is that every set-back, just adds more to the crazyness of the OAFC promotion party for me it'd be better than losing my virginity, Holland 2002, my first night in Corporation - Sheffield, the first time I ever listened to the Prodigy, Sailing around the Whitsundays and the night England won 5-1 in Germany combined!!!!

TheBigDog Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) we could drop to 11th if teams win their games in hand. if the players are serious about getting 6th, then they'll have to show it in the next few games against the top sides That sums it up for me - it is down to the players to deliver. I honestly believe that we have so many in the squad who have good pace and a good touch - when we play well some of the passing is sublime. However - the problem is our shooting - too many poorly struck shots which show a lack of confidence - is it all in the head? - Whatever the issue is, there is still time to get back on track - but it is down to the players - whoever we play we create enough chances - we simply need to convert one or two more.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 This season may just be a bit too big an ask with a young side. But in the summer, securing Dickov and Taggart is critical as I feel next season could be a brilliant opportunity at really going for it. Now that just about all the dead wood is shifted, and the addition of some more long-term loan successes as we've seen this season the benefit of this seasons experience should see bearing fruit. It's the million dollar question, as past May, only Simon Corney knows whether or not to continue with this project. Could be that Blitz ultimately calls the shots and starts demanding a return on his investment (We need this question asked and resolved at the next fans forum BTW). I don't want to sound negative by saying this season will peter out. But we need a tremendous string of 3 or 4 wins now to boost us back into the play-off zone, and then a similar consistancy as we've had most of this season to see us there. We've sorely missed Stephens in his absence - no goals in three games and much less creativity tells us that. I've seen it so many times before when a positive half season is derailed by either a key player losing form or getting injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SholverBlue Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) Sheff Wed, United, Hudds, Dale, Tranmere, Bury, Rotherham (C*nt and son) and Chesterfield (loads of ex players and shezza) next Season, none are that far away so bigger crowds and bigger games next season. If we get PO's it's a financial bonus for next season! As things are going all seem fairly likely of happening. If Walsall stay up and Dagenham, Plim and Yeovil go down, more Northern/Midlands teams in our league.

That would seem bizarrely right, but how does everyone else feel that goes? Often, like sAturday, the midfield comes out being short on skill etc and a someone to put the foot in and control the game.
