Are there any?
It,s like me saying that Thorn has got a good win rate compared to previous managers, but then. Only comparing to two managers that just happen to have lower percentages. It's just seen selective and it's ridiculous.
Are there any?
Yes, any stat can look good or bad. Like i said you'be been choosy, like I demonstrated by just choosing a run of games where we look good. Imagine if we win on Saturday and i said, looking at our last ONE game then our away form is good... I would be laughed at and rightly so. You're one of those supporters who will never be happy. One of the ''we won but'' crowd.

Well Torchy I nearly fell off my chair.
You mean there are actually two real managers out there, I mean like proper ones, who have a worse record than Thorn. No get out of town
(Although I am not a fan of Thorn to those who dont understand this is a JOKE and is part of the banter I have with Mr T)
I thought Palace was winnable but I don't recall anyone saying that all six were - especially Blues.
Another example of you taking perverse pleasure out of being "right" about our plightDoes make me smile.
The talk was there from quite few people that we had 6 home games left and that we could win 5 out of the 6 of them.
Now we are down to 4 and people are talking about winning all 4 of them.
No doubt when it comes down to 1 game they will be talking of us winning all of the 1 game left. Unfortunately, by then we will probably already be relegated.
Blues had in there previous games lost to Forest and drew with Deby. They are out of sorts... Our away form is dreadful so everyone was saying the home games are key since Leicester.
Since Leicester game, we got 2 points. Says it all.
And during that same time leicester have lost both and conceded 6 goals yet we hardly looked like scoring there last week.
We maybe playing the bottom teams, but is this not the worst time of year to be playing them? I would have been happier playing all these in January and playing mid table teams now as they will all be desperate for the points.
Also they will be looking at their fixture lists and will see us as a game they should win.
Feel exactly the same way. Would be much better playing teams with nothing to play for. The games against the bottom teams if anything will be tougher than those at the top. Brum wanted the win on Saturday, but they didn't have to win. All the draw did was to put them 1 point outside the play-off places. Not exactly as crucial as teams at the bottom who are absolutely desperate for points.
Is that not what happened for the last 10 fixtures last season? The 3 wins that meant that Thorn is a fantastic manager?
And it still might not be enough! Away form and poor home form in first half of the season will cost us I fear! PUSB!!In fairness in the last 10 games last year we got 14 points, I'll be delighted if we did that this year!

otis i usuallty agree with you but you been hammering ona bout this point for a week now, stop having such a "i told you so" attitude about it all
im as realistic/pessemisitic as it gets but even i think 12pts is possible from our home games,i also dont think its a foregone conclusion we will get nothing from our 6 away games
time will tell of course but its not deluded to think we can get 12-15pts out of last 30
There are certain stock phrases that come into play when Otis is saying he knows best. Usually they begin with "makes me laugh", "makes me smile" or "laughably".
its not deluded to think we can get 15pts out of last 30
Completely wrong. Compeltely and totally.
i said its possible not likely!
