v Millwall

100 percent correct champs sadly 1 or 2 think we should be winning this league by a mile
Tonight's result is a disappointment considering we were 2 up however alot us would of been happy with 4 points before tonight's game beat Brighton and we have achieved that.

should call him `bottle it bowyer`..

Yes, Saxo. I was also watching live on headupmyarse.com. Bowyer played well for an hour but he should have benched himself when his right leg fell off.[/quote]

I heard he had an air rifle at the game and was taking pot shots at our midfield and defence in the last 10 minutes of normal time. Making them lose concentration. I'm as agreeved as Saxo about this

same old sh1t bowyer! defence sorted? my arse champs..

Saxo - how the hell can you say that? You don't know anything yet about the pattern of the game. In that situation, the players are usually to blame.
Do you think Bowyer shouted to them, "Sit back and stop playing!"?
You are obsessed with the idea that managers can influence EVERYTHING that happens. At certain points, the manager becomes a helpless spectator - like the rest of us.[/quote]

against 10 men all you have to do is bolster the midfield and keep the ball..[/quote]

"ALL you have to do..." So no side has ever conceded a goal after putting an extra midfielder on?
"and keep the ball..." Of course! Why didn't I think of that. Bowyer should have had a word with the Millwall manager. He would have told his players to stop trying to WIN the ball. That's what I cal

These games come thick and fast. Look at the stats. It was an unbelievably even game, we had 2 shots on target, and scored them both. I don't think we sailed 2 in front, and the amount of times over the years (including us vrs Millwall last season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I've seen a side go down to 10 men and be galvanised is amazing, so that's nothing new. Without seeing it, and looking at simply the stats, you couldn't possibly go straight to a negative. But that's the nature of some fans, other have a different view. It would be boring if we all agreed.
We aren't in a position (yet) to be going winning hone & away every week. You'd be very nieve to think that IMO. We are g

agrieved? agrieved? i`m fcking furious! no need for fireworks at my home tommorow night as i`m gonna fcking explode..!

if bowyer ain`t of the same mindset, then something is sadly wrong.

We'd all like that Saxo. But I can assure you that this team can only do one thing well, and that's attack. The rest of it, is average or below. It's hard to keep up the momentum to attack for 97 minutes. If you want to say he got it wrong tonight, you'll have to say it's because he subbed Marshall. That would have reduced the number of times we attacked, (or could). That said, from a winning position, most managers would, because you want him fit in as many games as possible. What would you have done?

Saxo has mental issues. (Seriously) and I'm not making light of that.

Don't pay any attention. You attempt to reason, make some valid points, see what he has to say. And nothing ...just repeat...

Would being 2 points off the top 2 be consider 'contenders?'
