Thracian Posted 10 August 2006 Share Posted 10 August 2006 Well be amazed. You obviously haven't seen Colchester, Barnsley or QPR play. I confidently predict here and now we will finish at least ten points ahead of any of those teams. Now stop the scaremongering! I see another bet looming!

I've seen all three within the last 3 years Live i.e I was actually there( and I bet you haven't ) Barnsley could beat us at our current level of performance, QPR and Colchester would be capable of draws. With Dannes Colchester could easily beat us at Layer road if we played like we did agains Luton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 10 August 2006 Share Posted 10 August 2006 Bring it on.. I'm happy, state some friendly terms, but let me say now, that's no way a fair bet. I've occasionally disagreed with you but I've no wish to rob you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw Barnsley play at Walsall at the end of last season. They had ONE decent player (McPhail) and he's now left. Colchester have lost their manager and quite a few players since promotion. They are nailed on certs for the wooden spoon. Very few of my contacts in Essex would dispute that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 11 August 2006 Share Posted 11 August 2006 I don't think we as fans would ever let it happen. At the moment, despite the table, it's not a serious possibility. There are too many poorer teams in this league. Something like "Famous Last Words" springs to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything commenting on how they would play without him is hypotherical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything commenting on how they would play without him is hypotherical. Well no it isn't. They've played three games since he left and lost all three. So that would imply they're not very good.

Thracian Posted 13 August 2006 Share Posted 13 August 2006 Anything was possible had City continued playing in the ridiculous manner they started the season because with that system they looked every bit as bad as Ipswich and that really is saying something. I was shocked at exactly how awful Ipswich were. What on earth has happened to them?. That wasn't like any team I've ever associated with Ipswich. That was an embarrassment. And if that represents the standard of a few other teams in the League - which may be so but I find hard to believe - then it's a shocking advertisement. But it's encouraging for our fringe kids. Not one of them even knows how to play that badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Claw Posted 13 August 2006 Share Posted 13 August 2006 I think it is midtable obscurity at the moment, but the transfer window is still open and if we swap Mayberry for Welsh and get rid of De Vries, Douglas, Hammond, Sylla and get a new keeper and a left back then who knows. If our team starts to gel and gets a bit of confidence then we can beat anyone, this division is full of mediocre sides. RKs run last season shows that anyone can go on a run given a bit of confidence. I almost sound optimistic, what the hell is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of them even knows how to play that badly. Ipswich were indeed poor. Perhaps their rookie manager might be a factor in that. This league isn't the best place to start a managerial apprenticeship, as Sunderland are also now finding out. But there are plenty of other dire teams in the league, as anyone who had the misfortune to witness any of this weekend's FOUR Sky games will confirm. Even Palace, the current leaders, were very unimpressive and made heavy weather of beating a 10-man Leeds team. In spite of our dire start, I still believe a top-10 finish is within our reach.

I've not 'read' anything that would indicate any team has hit their stride yet...I certainly can't see the unbeaten ones as unbeatable at the mo'. This is the thing I found oddest about the wailing that followed Tuesdays game, it was as if we were about to cross a Rubicon. I was happy to wait for a good few games before starting to get uncomfortable but I'm not getting ready to start cracking out the party poppers today either.
