    Our bad Luck

    We seem to be getting plenty , Injuries/ suspensions , yet I've never heard a complaint about them from DS or any other member of the club , other teams fans think we have been lucky so far , maybe it's a certain element ? !!

    We've brought a lot of the problems on us all by ourselves by not having any real depth to the squad in key areas .

    You could say we were unlucky losing Moore and Dougall and the injury to Woodrow early doors but you can set that against an unbeaten home record that in two or three games we should have got beat and then we had a bit of good fortune at Walsall the other week .

    Six and two threes for me .

    We have been incredibly unlucky, but we left ourselves wide open to this.
    We couldn't afford injuries or suspensions after January, and we've had both.
    The one area we knew we were short was our attacking options and we did nothing to cover this.
    We were an accident waiting to happen.
    Our first eleven was the best in the league, now we're struggling.
    If we had Potts, Moore, Dougall & Moncur available we'd be top 2 comfortable.
    Now, unless we find some form (and goals) we could end up fourth.
    We shouldn't be in this position.
    We can still pull it off but we need the likes of Thiam, Bahre & Brown to contribute more.

    Agreed. Thiam should be doing better. He's been pretty much tripe in the games I've watched barring Burnley away when he was aggressive and ran at them with intent. We need more of that from him in the remaining games, not half arsed lukaku type play and his set piece delivery has been terrible seldom beating the first man. Time for him to redress the balance and step up in the last few games

    P*ss and moan about our bad luck? ........ it’s not bad luck!

    The only bad luck we’ve had is Moore’s Injury. And Mcgeehans suspension.
    Seriously fellas.....?
    We’ve got points in more games this season when we were poor, unlike than last season.
    when we performed decent in some matches yet got nowt. , yet went down.... I think that although we have done great this season in 50% of our games we have also been Carried away with “Stendel Euphoria”
    We’ve won points, but not all our performances have been memorable. I’ve not seen a side that will take us up, amd surprise the league above like LUTON have this season. Nor have I the confidence that our leaders will buy the team to keep,us up, (should we be promoted)....
    Our points Tally at home will cost us,
    I’m relying on the supposition that Chien, Conway and Cryne have sold players that won’t cut it in the Championship, and are stashing the money to buy players that will ( if we can do it in May)...

    This side isn't good enough. Won't make automatic and isn't better than Portsmouth, Doncaster and Charlton over 180 minutes either.

    As soon as we found out that Woodrow couldn’t operate on his own up front, we should have moved to replace Moore until the end of the season whatever the cost or however old the player we got in. You’ve got to balance the cost against the certainty of promotion and the extra revenue that would bring in of course but I don’t think we will do better than the Play-offs now. Hope I’m wrong.
