10 wins from 19 since Jones returned
Wycombe I agree but not Rotherham. We failed to beat them over 2 games last season and so far have started better than usOver 46 games we'll be better than Rotherham and Wycombe. SW are better but only clawed back 3 points so far abd will be in the mix til the end as will we, Luton, Barnsley, QPR Huddersfield and Birmingham imo. We only need need to better one of those.
Barnsley beat QPR but so did we and Luton are in false position imo in tge same way that Derby or Fore are is will finish well above us. Not time to hit the ball with panic button just yet.
Fitness and game management only comes from playing more competitive games.
I worry Weds will overtake us in time and then we will be 2nd from bottom. Wycombe were brilliant on the attack against Watford last night.And we can’t bank on points deductions for other teams.
Even Wycombe are having a go at least rather than just rolling over for 0-1/2/3/4
So you've watched all their games have you?
if shipperz had scored that tap in last night it would have been a completely story, same as if O'Hare had scored against Swansea. The points don't lie and so far we have been better than Wycombe as we have more points than them
Wycombe held Watford to a draw last night, they know they’re going down as much as anyone but still don’t roll over for the top sides and accept it as a formality.
I giver it about two weeks before people on this forum are talking about Wycombe in the same breathe as 80s AC Milan.
We drew with Swansea who are above Watford.
Wouldn't worry bout sheff wed. Their fans on twatter saying they're abysmal after early promise
Funny because some talk about Middlesbrough like 2008 Barca
But you keep banging on about how they're showing fight yet we drew with a team above Watford, so is that not a credible draw that showed fight?
Seems like some people are only happy when we're losing so they can have a moan
Wycombe
Rotherham
QPR
Birmingham
Wednesday
Barnsley
Are the teams we'll be fighting with. You'd imagine Forest and Derby are good enough to pull themselves up the table.
But I'm confident we can finish above 3 of those teams.
I think Wycombe and Rotherham will go. Then it's one from 4 or 5 teams. Got to fancy our chances.
Swansea was a decent point, should have been all 3. We're getting worse by the week mind
Weds are in a false position, they’re decent. They won’t be fighting relegation unfortunately
We played so well second half v Swansea. I guess the only games since then were Rovers where a stupid decision cost us and Boro where both their goals were from our mistakes arguably. Like others I’m worried about where the goals are coming from though.
How should people react to 1 point and 2 goals in 5 games? Should we be pleased by the manner of performance so far this season? I know some people are happy for us to get beaten every week because the opposition have a couple of ex-United players or spent a bit of money on a few players but not all of us are so willing to accept that.A lot of their fans disagree. They think they're rubbish and want Monk sacked. (Mind you if they're anything like the fans on here then they're just overreacting).

How should people react?
By not throwing their toys out the pram and declaring everyone shit, ideally.
Your last sentence is just laughable and does not warrant a response.
Honestly, log out and have a breather. You're on every thread with this hysteriaHow should people react to 1 point and 2 goals in 5 games?

Not sure why its so difficult for people to accept that being realistic about the resources we have available compared to other teams in this division isn't saying that you're happy to get thumped every game.By not saying people are happy when we are losing which is a mistake I made a few times last season. But I'm a better person than that now.
That would be a start anyway.

I don't expect us to be able to dominate games like last season, we clearly don't have the ability to do so. However I do expect us to be able to do the basics right and not make games so ridiculously easy for the opposition. If you get promoted to a league that is deemed a large step up the first thing you need to do is make yourselves hard to beat. We've completely regressed in that regard from last season and now gift the opposition a multitude of scoring opportunities every game. You can't continue to concede 2 goals per game while barely scoring and expect thing to work out.no ones happy about us getting beat but it's about been realistic. We're playing teams with far greater resource, you have to factor that in when assessing a performance.
We can't do to teams in this league what we were doing to teams in L1but it seems that some people expect it.

The teams you'd imagine will be in the bottom half, these are the games we must be confident of taking points.. Otherwise we pack up and start again next season... There aren't 24 great sides in this leagueWhich fixtures do you believe points lie?
