Time to think

[champs95]

One problem with your general statements here, though, Champs - you didn't apply that sort of balance in your posts about Burnley. You said they were doomed, dead and buried.
I drew your attention at the time to what Dyche said - that sometimes a team has to bottom out, get a bit of luck and then start to emerge from the depths. That might well be what has happened.
The same with Ipswich. Apparently, they were battered yesterday, but won 3-2. That might change their season.
With us, you have been saying we could be top, except for a few moments of bad luck. But don't you think most of the teams in the top half will have had similar moments that will have cost them points? You can't be too one-eyed. Millwall were all over us for 20 minutes and could have been three-up.
In some posts, you are describing realistic assessments as "negativity", and you seem to be pulling people up for perfectly fair comments about individual or collective failings in the team.
I don't think a prediction of fourteenth is, in some way, putting the team down at all. As Alf said, this is an excellent Division to be in because it's so up-and-down, with lots of open games: Preston v. Wigan? 4-0? Seriously?
I haven't had a chance to watch a replay of the Bolton game yet, but it seems to have been a "win ugly" affair. That will do me occasionally - alongside unlucky draws, playing good football.
I'm still going for W-14; D-18; L-14. That will keep me quite happy and I don't think it's negativity.

After the Sheff Utd game what followed was the normal out pour of negativity. Saxo thought it was time to sack Mowbray. No too. For sentimentality in football he said.

Robin was fuming because he feels that we should be beating the likes of Sheff Utd (top of the league Sheff Utd) because of previous let downs under Steve Kean.

I just try stick up for my side when I think people are talking rubbish or being unfair.



Outside the play offs on goal difference. We are there on merit. Despite the absolute crap talked. And I for one have gotten past the point of being bored by it

I'd love to hear a fair assessment of the game I went to yesterday.
Robin has put one on.

If only one person other than me can do one when we don't get all 3 points would be great, and balanced. Then I'm not completely on my own. And don't have to sit and read the negative rubbish that was posted after the two defeats this season. As I say, for me it's boring.

I've said more than enough about all this it won't change

But I've never seen anyone say we are NOT in our current position on merit. You sometimes seem to be arguing against imaginary enemies.
My take is that this is a very even division. and I think we are about middling for it. You can't just talk about OUR missed chances and bits of bad luck as if no other team has had them. We could lose two now and shoot downwards, or win two and be in the top four. That's the nature of the Championship.
I'm just not sure why it's wrong in your eyes to mention any negative features. Surely that's what fans do after a football match: "So-and-so played well; Player B had a stinker; we didn't look comfortable with three at the back", etc, etc.
I'm very happy with our season so far, but we have been far from brilliant in most matches - just as I expected at our current stage of development.

I wasn't serious champs, I've said that twice now. I did it because you believe that's what I think no matter what I post.

I'll post flattering comments about TM and Rovers, and you won't believe me anyway, so what's the point?
