I hope our form doesn’t dip after the break.
The latter part of last season there was a combination of players being physically knackered due to lack of depth of squad and probably mentally affected by the manner of the loss at Wembley. I doubt Adi had any say in the transfers for this season.Dennis left in march, you could argue that point, but we had 1 win in the last 8 games of last season. Adi surely had nothing to do with that.
id argue that Adi also had his hand in the transfers for this season, cant blame MR for everything.
im just so sad, its all so disappointing.
For different reasons.It's true. We were even worse this time last year.
This season we’re just shit, it’s not getting much betterFor different reasons.
I’d argue last year, while points wise worse we were playing better. Take Bristol away, we were brilliant but just couldn’t finish and would overplay at the back. Now I’m sorry I can’t really say much positive outside of the Blackburn match.This season we’re just shit, it’s not getting much better
What game did you watch?Complete hysteria by many of the usuals. Sheffield Wednesday didn't deserve that win. The team performed ok and deserved more. The need to single out individuals says a lot about some on here. We go again - fuck the negativity and doomsayers - support the team.

Getting annoyed to be honest by the idea we have always started badly. Last year we had a new squad, most not playing in the championship. Year before that the pests destroyed the pitch and we could barely get regular playing time.It was a new squad?
Yep we managed to make a bang average team look like a slick, fast, dynamic,powerful, pacey and dangerous opponentApparently yesterday was the first time they’ve come from behind to win away from home in the Championship for 8 years
Add that to Swansea and StokeYep we managed to make a bang average team look like a slick, fast, dynamic,powerful, pacey and dangerous opponent
Add that to Swansea and Stoke
First half they looked unplayableI don't think we made Stoke look good, they were just less shit than us!
If you wanted to consider Oxford as Huddersfield, it’d be a mere -8 point difference.By my maths were -10 points down from last season in terms of results in the equivalent fixtures. Sheff Weds at home and Stoke away both gone from wins to loses, Leeds away, Norwich at home and Swansea at home all gone from draws to losses and Watford away gone from a win to a draw. Bristol City away the only game so far where we got a better result than last season going from a loss to a draw.
Oxford would surely by Rotherham, no? Lowest placed L1 team replaces lowest placed Champ team?If you wanted to consider Oxford as Huddersfield, it’d be a mere -8 point difference.
I’m being generousOxford would surely by Rotherham, no? Lowest placed L1 team replaces lowest placed Champ team?
DT81. You can’t say you took any positives from the game on here. You have to row in with the prevailing narrative. So please choose any of the following. We can’t defend. We can’t attack. Our keeper is useless. We have no midfield. We have no leaders or experience or game management. We’ve spent £45m on nothing and not replaced anyone. All the coaches that have joined are crap, those that have left are Pep reincarnate. Robins needs replacing. King needs replacing. Players on the bench are Messi, until they start and then they are crap. There is probably more. It’s ridiculousWhat game did you watch?
People have claimed we were the better side throughout, that only we were trying to win, that we got sneaked out by a late goal etc etc. It doesn’t tally with what we saw on the pitch yesterday.DT81.

At this moment there are only a couple we would make a profit on. We wouldn’t be able to give Kitching awayIt’s also crap to say we will make a profit on every player we’ve signed
It was a new squad?
Our attack hinges on Wright turning up, and he has only turned up about 3 times so far. Simms is a passenger without O’Hare behind him, pulling players left and right.Not saying it’s going well. But the over reaction is huge. It’s all odd goal stuff apart from Leeds. That suggests that whilst of course we need to improve the margins are not that great. There also seems to be a disproportionate amount of focus on us going forward. It’s defensively that we are costing ourselves on a very regular basis.
I would see top half as a success, personally. However, like you have mentioned, I doubt King would.Agree. But it depends on what you were expecting in the first place. Anyone who predicts things in the championship is taking a huge leap of faith. We’ll be comfortably top half. Some may see that as a disaster. King might. But the reality is it’s a solid season for us.
