* progression to Round 2 of Johnstone's Paint Trophy
* super game against Birmingham in Round 2 of league Cup
* improved squad from last season
* excellent debut from David McGoldrick last night

A CUP HALF EMPTY

1987

the only cup we have won

 

[LewSkyBlue]

both:
Yes we have had no wins in 4 league games but yes we have only been defeated once in 7 games.
Yes we are through to the 3rd round against Arsenal after a good game vs brum, but yes we probably will get a good hiding (but we thought that in 2007 at man u)
Yes were probs gonna play a random boring JPT game, but we are through to the next round and if we keep getting through to the next round its wembley and a trophy.
as for the team yes some aspects are better some are worse.

am tempted to say "what cup"

if only the choice were that simple.

based on the above i am in both cups........... McG was good, some players awful, we are in two cups but at least one will be very difficult next round, we have only lost once but the performances have been poor generally and havent won in league, the squad is more experienced but yet to show any real improvement, some players clearly care (Murphy for one) whilst others have me wondering (McSheffery)

team wise my biggest negative is the consistently poor level of performance ...... biggest positive - we still have time to achieve things this season

pretty sure you can add

owners who could put us in liquidation at any time
dwindling crowds
worst crowd ever last night at the ricoh
players arguing with fans
fans behaving a bit strange
no money for new manager to bring his own team in
havent paid rent in nearly 6 months

For me, it feels like the cups been smashed on the floor, waiting to get swept away. Hopefully someone finds the glue.

That's to put my proverbial cup back together. Not to sniff and take away the pain!

I think it could be a lot worse. The players and potential is there. The right managerial appointment should be the catalyst to better performances and an improvement in league position. The wrong appointment and it's season over.

 

[mark82]

With the right appointment we will challenge for promotion. The wrong one and we may miss out on the playoffs.

 

[Black6Osprey]

Both. It depends what mood I'm in.

Its a fine line when supporting this lot. A couple of league wins back to back and we'll all be thinking play offs here we come. Lose the next couple and we'll be thinking Burton will be a league game next season.
