no not really as we are in a better place form wise than we were last seasonYep, absolutely. Reading just before was shite. Swansea was a poor result and then we got turned over at Sheffield United and against Wrexham.
The point still stands about the position though. We're miles off the play offs.
no not really as we are in a better place form wise than we were last season
In all of december, january and the first half of february we only squeaked a win against west brom with an injury time pen and beat a truly awful huddersfield team
So do comparing 1 single snapshot of a season out of context does not in anyway prove your point
Some though (me) maintained we had played alot of good football this season and just simply weren't getting results when we were creating the chances to do so ..
The change to a 4 allowing us the extra midfielder seems to have changed the team ( I didn't think it would ) and we've lost 1 in 6
after 20 games, by the 22nd game the awful run had started alreadyFair enough. But, my point was, after 22 games we were well ahead and that's because of the outstanding run just before the world cup. Gyokeres and Hamer were the difference between the side now and then. After 22 games we declined. If we continue the improve, we may end up in a better position in early Feb than we were last Feb.
The squad is far stronger now and that's a huge positive especially coming up to Christmas. We had two keepers plus, Howley, Reid and Nee on the bench at Burnley.
We were on 30 points after 21 gamesIt properly turned after West Brom. Still managed a draw against Swansea and a win against West Brom who had won 5 in a row. The Reading result was dreadful, despite dominating. After 20 games we had 29 points. We're only on 27 points after 22.
Let's hope you come back at me mid January after we have more points after 28 games.
We are 6 points worse off than last season at the same stage
We need 12 points from the next 8 games to match last season by 30 games
But even still , I doubt tye points we got last season will be enough this year to make the playoffs12 points is what we've got from the last 8 games so it's doable.

No we ain’t, 9 points fuck all.Yep, absolutely. Reading just before was shite. Swansea was a poor result and then we got turned over at Sheffield United and against Wrexham.

managed a draw? We were 3 fucking nil up mateIt properly turned after West Brom. Still managed a draw against Swansea and a win against West Brom who had won 5 in a row. The Reading result was dreadful, despite dominating. After 20 games we had 29 points. We're only on 27 points after 22.

I think it would be great if we could acquire BinksAyari/Binks go back (no big deal)
managed a draw? We were 3 fucking nil up mate
clueless

hardly the right description is it, we were 3 nil up, the correct description is "we fucked up massively against Swansea" not "still managed a draw"'Still managed a draw against Swansea and a win against West Brom who had won 5 in a row.'
I'm talking about both results, not just Swansea.
The last 2, West Brom and Hull haven't particularly impressed me from what I've seen, and I have my doubts either of them will make the playoffs.Just like last year it seems there's a large group of teams chasing the last 2 play off places.
We're in that group but will need to improve to be in the shake up going in to the last 4-6 weeks of the season.
But with a one season exception, improving post Christmas has been a feature of Robins second spell.

as i said utterly clueless
Ayari? Binks?Not one loan in the squad.
Last season was a bit of a freak really.But even still , I doubt tye points we got last season will be enough this year to make the playoffs
yes it was mate, you saidI'm lost. What are you talking about? You said our poor form started already and now you're talking about performances.
It wasn't a description.
yes it was mate, you said
"It properly turned after West Brom. Still managed a draw against Swansea and a win against West Brom who had won 5 in a row"
you are implying that the draw against swansea was anything but awful
stop digging
How many points were we from play-offs this time last year ?Really? Based on that you can say we're only 7 points of relegation?
How many points were we from play-offs this time last year ?
We're not in a bad place now. Admittedly that was better (last season if your stats are correct) but we are within striking distance, we're in a mental league where you have about half the participants in danger of being in a relegation dog fight or a playoff shootout...After 22 games we were a point of the play offs with a game in hand.
I can’t see Bidwell or Da Silva leaving yet tbh
I think it would be great if we could acquire Binks
ok time to break out the crayonsSorry, I genuinely don't know what you're arguing about. Does the form table include the quality of performances now?
Bidwell has another year. Dasilva is also on a four year deal, so I think he'll be around for a while.Bidwells contract is up isn’t it? If he signs a new deal, and someone offers for Dasilva I could see us moving him on and getting a more traditional LB.
I agree, depends if he wants it or not if he’s spent the season on the bench
and BinksWe own them all - apart from Ayari
I really can't see Bidwell staying particularly, surprised he's still here tbh!Bidwells contract is up isn’t it? If he signs a new deal, and someone offers for Dasilva I could see us moving him on and getting a more traditional LB.
