stargazer Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It will now be almost 2 weeks between the season ending disappointment tie a week last Monday & our next game ......assuming this cold snap doesn't take out Saturday as well. I wonder when we will actually win our first game of 2012...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 To be fair the snow would have frozen solid last night and been a bugger to clear, so it would have been off anyway. That and the fact they're forecasting between minus 4 and minus 6 by half-time. Better to call it off now than an hour before or half-time. I would have been seriously pissed off to have been en route then it called off. I'm more pissed off at turning down a day's supply at 7.15am this morning, losing me between £120-£150…all because i wanted to tick another ground off! Ah well it's Brentford on Saturday, i'm in London anyway but I haven't decided for definite if i'm moseying on over to Griffin Park, getting pissed with the wife around London seems far more appealing. The last team we want to play after an enforced break is our bogey team…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan up the ladder Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There a few reasons why this enforced break could work in our favour this time. Hopefully Furman will be back on Saturday (although given how closely guarded injuries are this season you never know how long he could be out for), and everyone said Kuqi needed a "rest" so is it acceptable that he's had a rest when everyone else has too?! Diamond could be back too although I'd stick with Tarky and keep Diamond on the bench. Rueben Reid might be an option for the bench as well. Last season the downturn in form was after the enforced break, this year it's already started so Dickov should be reminding the players they're starting afresh and it's a 20-game season from now on. Any mention of what's already happened this season (Anfield and JPT specifically) should only take place on this forum and nowhere near the club itself. The season 07-08 when we got the most wins out of the record above was the season where we had a very busy March, 8 games, and three home games in a row in which we lost the first and won the next two, and there were some decent away performances that month as well. So maybe a busy March will work in our favour again this time? Plus although Brentford are a bogey team at least we broke the hoo-doo and won there last season! Much tougher this time round I expect. Happy clapping over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 That's a truly atrocious record and should be pinned on the dressing room wall to spur on the current crop. In the Chron, Dickov refers to the backlog of fixtures and says: "One thing we have learnt from last year is that we possibly tried to look after them too much, rest-wise. This time we will get plenty of fitness work into the boys." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
