Ha, how many times have I read on here that possession stats are meaningless? Also, I have seen us play shite against ten men far too many times to write off a good performance! take it easy #pusb #pressleyinontodaysperformance

Dave, these are perfectly logical reasons for wanting SP out - what I'm saying is unfair is holding up his every word and decision as proof that he's shit. If I were the board I'd stick with him. He has to do better, but I've seen enough from him for me to put my faith in him. The most...

No, perhaps not, but I don't think you can ignore the performance because it suits an argument either. I haven't seen as many games as most of you this season, my last one was Doncaster away, but I was shocked at how organised, incisive, and confident we were today. I was expecting a turgid...

I haven't heard the interview, only read the transcript on here, which doesn't mention the players. We were in total control of the game, attacking frequently, solid at the back. It was a great performance, until two minutes of panic. I took a look back at the BBC website to see if they...

Hey Wingy, I dont understand some of your questions, but happy you answer them if you can clarify them! 1-Pennington...can you clarify what you mean here? I thought in the main he was great today (what a tackle in the box midway through the second half) but there was a strange moment just...

You can't really argue with a sweeping statement like that but that doesn't mean every decision he makes is a bad one. And neither does it mean that every press statement that he makes is bullshit or idiotic, which is how he is portrayed by the majority of people on here.

I don't think it's pointless, people are claiming we were being defensive when we should have been attacking ten men. I'm saying we did. Yes, perhaps with hindsight g.thomas for Williams wasn't a great decision. But at the time I thought it was a decent one. Williams was looking tired, was...

Thats a fair point, he's stated many times that this is the plan for the club, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad decision to put inexperience in the team. It can be both a long term plan for the club, and the reason we conceded two goals today. It doesn't mean he has to be fired.

I also think we are severely underestimating the importance that we, as fans, can play in the run in. United were a dirty, niggly side, but their fans were so vociferous in contesting decisions after the sending off they put pressure on the ref who consistently gave them dubious free kicks, and...

I think Willis was injured. apparently G.Thomas has looked bright in the last few games? im not sure about Connor - I was surprised that he wasn't on the bench, but I doubt he would have been an option instead of Stokes or Williams. Perhaps instead of Barton, but Pressley has been pilloried...

Well that's reasonable, but what would you have done instead? Brought Webster on at left back? Brought him on at centre half and shuffled Pennington to let back? With hindsight, that MIGHT have been a better option, but it would have unsettled the defence which was looking solid. And at the...

Of course, but you can't, unfortunately, implement 'a win'. A lot of people are criticising Pressley's decision making today but I'm interested to hear what people wanted to see instead.

I'd say this was an accurate reflection on the game. Which parts to people disagree with? Also, what would you have liked to see him do differently in today's game?!?

Can't argue with the table stupot, but I thought we were two moments of panic away from a really excellent performance today. and I think criticism of SP today is very harsh.

Yes for a deserved red card. Thereafter he gave us nothing, and them every fifty fifty challenge.

He didn't go defensive. We must have had about twenty five chances!

Of course not, but we were in total control. still probing for a third, solid at the back, even getting the rub of the ball. there wwas no way they were gonna get back into it. And then bang bang. Three mistakes, two goals. Not Pressley fault, however much anyone wants him out. and as...

We were great today. If you look at the game without an agenda, we totally dominated a team in the top six before and after they were reduced to ten men. I thought SP managed the game well - Stokes was injured, and with the crowd on the refs back, Barton was looking like he'd pick up a second...

Yep truly shocking. You could probably argue that 'fairweather' is harsh considering the depths that we've dropped and the amount of 'unfair-weather' we've all sat through. However, if the gates drop, and then peak if we start doing well again, it's likely that the term will be thrown around a...

It's an interesting read, this thread. I'll be buying a season ticket, even though it's likely that I won't be able to go to more than a quarter of the games. If, halfway through next season we were riding high at the top of the league and playing football like we were at the start of last...
