I have not read all the comments this weekend or yesterday about Sayurdays game, but no doubt they are all dispondant and cannot believe we have lost a game.

i know we played like turd as mcleish himself has acknowledged, and we have not been great this season.

but we are still second in the league, with players more than good enough to get us out of this league, and if anybody on here thought we would not slip up and lose the odd game here or there then they are naive!!

i do find it funny that we only play one up front when we are squad is strongest up front, but i have no doubt that mcleish will not play that way again, certainly at home.

if you dont try things you never know what your best team and best formation are and sometimes it just doesn't work.

if we lose the next 6 on the bounce and look terrible in every game and we see no change in personnel/formation (want to make reference to former manager here, but will refrain) then we can start to worry.

but for now lets just enjoy being second in the league and hope that we will start to score some goals and start to play better football.

On the plus side, the other results went very well for us.

Other top teams lost (except for Wolves of course), and there were a lot of draws, so many teams only gaining a point on us.

You only have to look as far as Man U to see it happens to the best of us.

Oh how we are living in a fantasy land! "Man Utd... the best of us". How can this be in the same sentence.

The Blackpool result was not a case of "these results happen", but rather "it was a result bound to happen" and "a wakeup call to the comatosed".

Most performances this season have shown times when we were just not up to it. Think back to 20 mins against Wycombe, Southampoton in the cup, last season at Huddersfield.

Are we any better off than with SB - except not in the Premiership (would we have stayed with him anyway?), a team that has 5 strikers who are rated well but some "over the hill", a suspect defence and an enigmatic midfield.

"Enigmatic" means a bit of a mystery, a hidden activity, ie. sometimes they're there and sometime not!

You say that but Mcleish hasnt been given any funding at all!
I think he has done very well with what he has been given to be honest, we are second in the league and the only player we have that actually csot anything was bent at 600k!
Lets just see how the next few games go , i mean to bring up last season at huddersfield is a joke to be honest.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here. I said it happens to the best of us, as in Man United, its a saying, they are favorites or there about, we are favorites or there about in the Championship. :rolleyes:

Think back to 20 mins against Wycombe,

You're exagerating 10 minutes of one game in the cup where we were sitting back slightly as evidence of how we're not up to it in the league?

And a game from last season (Huddersfield) to say we're not good enough so far?? Even though we're 2nd...

If you scrape any further down the barrel you might cut the bottom out of it

Most performances this season have shown times when we were just not up to it.

**thumbup I think you maybe right. Last Monday I posted a thread "Are We In A False Position" after Tuesday night at Bristol it looked as though the answer was no.....................................perhaps the Bristol City result was the blip, or the freak.

I dont think its a false position though lowdham, more just a bad result, Wolves have got it coming :P

I will admit to comments on this board after saturday because I was upset, not so much losing but the way we played which this season has at times been no better than sunday morning players. To me, AM needs to stick with his best team and play them week in,week out to develop an understanding. You cannot keep changing strikers every week.
It is up to the players left out then to prove they are better.
