josh_latics Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Can't believe how hopeless these were yesterday. Quite a few on here backed them as outsiders at the start of the season, but they were comfortably the worst team I've seen this season. Their squad looks alright on paper (bar keeper), and I liked what JFH did at Burton, but there's no way they're staying up if they don't bring in a load in January.

Worse than Grimsby when we were in the championship? I can’t see all three of the new amigos leaving even if they do, we must be able to replace them with similar players if we are paying a % of their wages. Anything top half this season would be a bonus anything above that is just gravy baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 It was a strange experience watching a game where a win was never in doubt. Just a good side with a good shape making another look really poor. Gerrard asked too much of Johny but their goal didn't worry me at all. Byrne ticking off his captain was priceless. Fane was targeted after the break and the referee gave him no protection just booking him for an innocuous foul. Of the three we want to keep I put Bryan firmly at the top of my list. City might want to get him some games in the Championship because you no longer have to be big if you are good enough and he is undoubtedly good enough for league 1.

Today reminded me of Shez's first spell when we routinely used to put 3 or 4 past the likes of Hereford and didn't get too excited about it. Speaks volumes about good we all know we might be that the atmosphere today was appreciative rather than awestruck... I'd have honestly been disappointed if we'd scored less than five. We were a different class to Northampton. Doyle in the form he was in for the Rochdale game (before I knocked his confidence by harassing him on Twitter - sorry everyone) would have got a hat trick yesterday. Fully expect Northampton to already be down when we play them last game of the season, which might be handy if we're playing for promotion.

JohnnyPimp Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We score great goals with such regularity that it completely passed me by that Byrne’s first came at the end of a 15 pass move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'll leave early more often than not, never understood people staying when the result is in no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Naturally, there are genuine reasons why people HAVE to leave early, but I've never understood why some do so as a matter of course. Games go up to the 95th minute and more these days, so anything can happen; the 5-4 the perfect example. I would be mightily pissed off if I left at 88-ish minutes at 0-1 or 1-1 and then found out we'd won it at the death.

Knowing you as I do, I'm suspecting this is a leg pull and there's a more genuine reason. The Paddy I know would be thinking these are utter shite, it's 3-0 at HT and there's a good chance this will be 6 or 7 and you're not missing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
