We should be beating teams like this..... (1 Viewer)

[ps1948]

I expect that the sites of Bournemouth, Fulham, Huddersfield, Luton, Millwall and Swansea will be full of people wondering how they didn't beat/lost to their opponents today.
We have now played against all but 3 of the teams in the league - I thought Swansea were the best team I'd seen so far, but apart from the Luton anomaly, we have been in every game so far, and we are 5th in a very tough league.
We should also remember the two games against Bournemouth last year where we were so out of our depth that we were flattered by the size of the defeats.

We are a good team been saying it for weeks and are where we are from ability and imo should be at least 10 points better off. We drew today with three main players missing Hamer, Rose & JCS If Robins is allowed to strengthen the team in January with a couple of better players the play-offs beckon.

 

[Johhny Blue]

We’re up there on merit. Compare the teams response to a red card. We put 45 minutes together and battered Bristol City. Bournemouth folded like a cheap deck chair.

I thought Fulham were the best team and I never felt confident even at 4-1, they will win the league by miles.

When Mitrovic is bothered the rest can afford to not turn up. One of many players far too good for this league but never able to cut it in the PL

Still think he'd be OK in an average prem team tbh. He's one dimensional but he'd get goals, it's just he's always played for crap prem teams.

Don't see any reason he couldn't play for a Palace, Southampton, Leeds etc... even Villa and do reasonably well.

Well as and when he plays for one of them we'll see how he does.

Doubt he'll leave, they'll be up again next season, he probably lives in a super posh part of London and he's paid a fucking fortune... hmmm I've just suddenly realised the appeal of Fulham.

Bournemouth were the best team we've played. Kept the ball like Swansea but an awful lot more threatening. Today was the first time I felt we were a step below the opposition. Although this may be down to the way we were set up and missing key players.

Glad we nabbed something from Bournemouth because they were time wasting, throwing themselves at the ground for every tackle and the fans kept hammering the referee for some good decisions.

QPR and Blackburn were decent too but still felt we were as good.

Made my day seeing him just run into one of our players then scream Serbian profanity at the ref for not giving anything.

Always thought he'd do well at Burnley. Not sure they'd throw 20m at him.

We stood up to him so well, he absolutely destroys most defences at this level. Proud day.

I think you're right, he probably would do well at Burnley. I'm not sure players leave Fulham for Burnley mind, even though Burnley are fairly established and Fulham are the dictionary definition of yo-yo.

Did see a rumour on the BBC website that Juve were looking at him.

Almost certainly wishful thinking on my part, but if he were to leave in Jan it might just level it up a bit more.

Maybe a team struggling at the bottom of the PL might take a desperate punt on him to save their season

I can't see him leaving a team destined to go up for a team likely to go down at this point.

“5th in a very tough league”?

this is the worst standard Championship there has ever been

Harsh to say he'll never cut it at PL level.

Scored 11 in 37 for a relegated Fulham and 9 in 34 for a relegated Newcastle.

Admittedly only scored 3 in 27 last time but Fulham were dreadful.

Didn’t say he never will. But he does seem content just being a big fish rather than really stretching himself.

Am I wrong? With the exception of Bournemouth and Fulham I would not be surprised if any team finished in a play-off spot.

This is the best chance we’ll ever have which makes me all the more frustrated with Robins’ defeatist tactics

How would you have set them up yesterday?

 

[Reppz]

Seeing as we only had 2 fit centre backs I’d have played 2 at the back, Sheaf and Kelly in front of them, Allen, O’Hare, Gyok & Godden up top.

 

[Sick Boy]

Just had a look at the table and apart from the top 3, there’s nothing to fear for us but also not a lot of quality in the division as whole.
Once clubs starting spending again it’ll change, unfortunately we’re unlikely to be able to keep up with it.

That's why, as much s this season is exceeding initial expectations, you do feel that we've got a decent chance this year and if we don't manage to make the most of it we might not be able to maintain this level, as well as the fact it would have brought attention to some of our best players and we'd risk losing them.

Rumour on BBC that Mitrovic is going to Juve in January. We live in hope.

Think there were fitness issues last season. Certainly no evidence I have seen that he has ever not been committed in the Premier league, in fact generally the opposite as he seems over aggressive.
