Be interesting to see what happens Saturday.
Whatever the outcome it should be a game where we have most of the possession, pressure and control. You can always lose to the odd fluke goal or mistake or down to bad luck, but it really should a game we dominate.
Cant see Man u ever dropping out of the premiership in my lifetime, so we'll never overtake them in leagues.... Blackburn however, is a different story.Man Utd fan 1: Coventry would never overtake us
Man Utd fan 2: You're right, we stuffed them when we played them last... oh wait
Solid logic, well played.
We desperately need to play a full 90 mins. I went into this season with no expectations - you can't with this club.
If we draw again its 3/9 points is theoretically the same as 1 win 2 losses.I'm sure fans would be angrier if we lost 2.but three draws looks better for some reason.and if we lose then it is confirmed that this club is cursed and we as fans will die miserable lol
Getting weak draws against promotion favourites and away at a team who has started the season very well ,definetly weakThis is an important point. Fans are waaaaay too enamoured with "no defeats as yet", "unbeaten so far". Means sod all if you're getting weak draws. The point from a draw is well overvalued.
A draw prevents the opposition from gaining two more points. It's not just about what we gain, mathematically.
Three draws is better than one win and two defeats. Think about it!

God i hate the football manager era :facepalm:
46 draws and you are relegated.
Well i guess as we have had 2 draws from 2 ,we must be bound for 46 of them .Hey makes the coupon easier every Saturday lunchtime :facepalm:
Contextually, sure, a point can have value. As a general principle, it's not something to be celebrated.
Completely depends on who the team is playing, what the standings are, goal difference etc. Think about it.
Saturday is very important in terms of us laying down a marker .... cos we haven't done it so far and if I was the Bury management and players I wouldn't be at all fearful of us if I had watched the Sheff Utd game on video.
Or they could look at it as a team that had chances to win in both games whilst not playing well against teams that have won their other games. One of them favourites to win the division, and the other game was an away point where that club won their next game away 3-1.

Sorry , Colonel, but I think you may have missed my point. Whilst I agree that a draw is not something to celebrate, wins are better etc, it is the mathematical advantage gained by our opponents, if we win one and lose two.....
I didn't miss that, which is why I stressed that a point could be valuable in the right context (e.g. away against a relegation rival or top team). But I'm not talking about individual cases, rather the misguided approval of "a point on the board", "the undefeated run".
Eric Black is one of my favourite case studies for this. He may have been responsible for some shocking results as well as the great ones, but his cavalier football racked up the points. The meek football that AT's team plays is going to continue to cost us.
