Is Tuesday hole or away. I think Luton are a good team but I feel like we do well against them away.

Luton is a hole and at home

Anyone interested drysdale came on for Gillingham today up front!

Steve Evans must be the one doing the ifollow graphics.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

You are funny

So what was the difference today?

I will help you. We played a striker who many keep saying is shite. But those calling him shite wanted an extra striker on the pitch. The valid point I made.

How about we attacked more? More like the ball went to the right person up front. 1 shot less than against Derby but we had more of the ball against them....who won away to Millwall today. We had 3 less shots today than we did against Norwich.

Today we had the same amount of shots as Rotherham and they had much more of the ball. But they don't look very good up front.

Yes it is better that we have 2 up front. Please point out where I have said differently. But not to go all out attacking. Look at Norwich today. Losing until the 84th minute. They won. They have the quality to hurt you. Attack teams like Norwich and you will let goals in.

But of course we can ignore the stats and the truth to make a point. If O'Hare was better up front we could well have been celebrating another victory and you could have made your point look valid because we attacked about the same amount.

But less of all that crap. Our run continues. It is a time to celebrate and not have stupid arguments. We are now playing the lower sides. Keep it up and you never know. Mid table is now possible. Teams won't be looking at us as an easy 3 points now.

'You were right' would have done fine mate.

I need a new phone or to lose some fat from these thumbs.

Nah, caveats mate. Always win with caveats.

Luton at home then so I'm quite confident of 4 points in the next 2 games why not

 

[Skybluefaz]

First time that Dabo didn't seem to be blowing out of his arse as well - what about that mad chase into their corner from a hoof ball late in the game. Possibly indicative that his fitness is getting there?

Unreal from him. 85th minute and he's sprinting to close them down like that in that area. Back to the top notch player we saw last season.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Unrelated but Sunderland at home to bottom side Wigan

71% possession, 16 shots to 1, but...0-1

I love him. Still want to know what black magic we used to trick him into signing for a league one team.

 

[nunchuckas]

Max Overhead kick would have been icing on cake...he has to produce one in this league too soon.

I wonder if there is a record for scoring an overhead kick in all 3 divisions...

He definitely went under a few radars. Not having that there is a better RWB/RB in the Championship

He didn't score one in league 1.

He was a bit here and there at the start of last season (2 own goals in one game) but got there once he was fit and ready. Doing the same this time, just getting better and better.

One of the reasons I really want 352 is because he is so key to us and he is best as a wing back. We should do whatever we have to to get him playing there.

 

[covcity4life]

You are too old for huffing glue mate.

Celtic better than rangers
Gerrard not a good manager
Ryan Kent shit

....

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Was a scissor kick....vs Posh Away

I'm just getting this feeling that you thought Rangers would do well this season

 

[Skybluefaz]

I know it's a technicality but a scissor kick ain't an overhead.

 

[Liquid Gold]

They must have a 352

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I know it's a technicality but a scissor kick ain't an overhead.

Ha...technically it wasn't even a scissor kick....just a well struck volley with not much of a scissor action.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Talking of scissor action...I think there's some scissoring on the menu tonight to celebrate.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Cant wait till Tuesday

 

[Johhny Blue]

Is Tuesday hole or away. I think Luton are a good team but I feel like we do well against them away.

Away would be a hole

 

[Johhny Blue]

All of those games are winnable, similarly all of those games are losable. We need to just take it a game at a time.

To complicate things even more they’re all drawable

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Not just that some of us got told we didn't have a fucking clue. Not bothered about that tonight, the result has vindicated the approach and was a million times better than Tuesday night.

I think it was less about 'some people not having a clue' and more about 'Robins does have a clue'. From my point of view anyway.

I find it amusing (not aimed at you) that people just think MR and his team don't see things they way this forum does. Its like...if you and I know the shortcomings of the team, I'm pretty sure a management team with over 60 years experience in professional football (and the qualifications to prove it) see it as well.

There'll be reasons why we played one up top when we did. The thing MR has earned is the right to get things wrong from trying what he thinks is best.

Hes the best manager in a generation for us. Sure, he'll get things wrong but he's also proven that he can get things right.

Not getting giddy at this run in the same way I didn't shit my pants during the first 10 games. Good 3 points today, going to enjoy a few Grey Goose and Cokes tonight.

Happy Saturday you beautiful bastards

 

[Frostie]

How good is it to hear this said about us, in the Championship...

 

[Johhny Blue]

I'm still more excited by the prospect of godden and Walker... But biamou is more than welcome to carry on doing what he's doing

3 up front?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Away would be a hole

Already been done. A moose must have stood on your internet.

Not until Tuesday

aint that a lesbian thing? i imagine it would hurt most men

Surprisingly I was looking at a moose about 10 minutes before the post so it’s possible

No I was told quite a few times that I didn't have a clue when the crux of what I said was that I wanted us to find a way to be more solid with a way of playing that makes us more of a threat going forward. I'm viewing the season in 5 game chunks at a time, we've bagged 3 points above target from this one so onto the next.

Whilst listening to the scissor sisters.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Just watching the highlights now and Walkers touch on his chest for Max's goal is absolutely sublime. Also, Wilson blasting the ball high into the stands after their penalty was shithousery of the highest order. Love it!
