hornyhollthefox123 Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 all we need is a player to take his chances tough ask. cant blame every loss on the officials Fair enough, but my god today was an absolute , complete disgrace. The referee was appalling, and granted i haven't seen the offside decision apart from at the ground but many saying it was onside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 And this time last season I'm pretty sure the forum was almost as positive. Sven will 'get it right' and it will 'all come good', 'give it time' etc etc etc... I think this team looks better than any of Sven's and the signs are more encouraging. What I won't do (same as last season) is blindly say we are gonna be great, without giving some balance. I'm concerned about how we play away from home. We cannot continue to leak goals, whether due to 'sucker punches' or whatever. And I'm still not convinced that our midfielders are playing too far forward. I'm sorry but it appears that Pearson is playing away from home exactly the way he did last season, just with better players. I want to see us shut up shop more away from home. I'd rather look at the situation than simply say all is rosy. Cos it ain't. Good post my friend. If we continue to lose like this, leaking goals and failing to take our chances, their will still be those on here who will merely say "Even though we lost, we were the better side", and be happy with it. Sad, but true. It's points that matter most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 I still can't say I think we'll be promoted, in fact I'd still be surprised. Still, maybe after Blackpool I'll be a bit more convinced, as others seem to be after the performances in the first 3 (4) games. As Babs said on another thread, things to improve on (and I've said these things concern me) but I'm a dam site happier we've got Pearson than I was this time last year and we had Sven. I'm glad he's in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seenitall Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 Yes our defence was magnificent under both Sousa and Sven, wasn't it? Our weakest performer today, Konchesky, was the only player to be signed by someone other than Pearson. I don't think Pearson is entirely blameless and I'm not a fan of the 'we're helpless in the face of such terrible fortune' viewpoint that seems to be doing the rounds, but by far the biggest danger to the side right now is that people like your good self will get on their backs at a time when their confidence may need a boost. If NP finds himself in a battle to stay in a job then that can only be a bad thing. What can we learn from Kermorgant's goal against us last week? Perhaps that our fans' tendency to slay anyone who doesn't enjoy instant success has been counter-productive for a long long time. No, early signs aren't great but can't we at least wait to see where we are after, say, thirteen games? I thought I got things wrong sometimes - when did Nige sign Danns, Nugent, Schmeichal, Beckford, King, Moore ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborofox Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 Nothing was Pearsons fault today Id say his tactics were spot on. If Nugent had scored their fans would have turned early and im sure we'd have won. If only we could finish chances then we'd be a decent team. Let NP build a team and slowly things will come good. Another few games and Im sure we'll suddenly be up there. We'll go and beat Blackpool now typically as we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamafox Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 I wouldn't bet against us beating Blackpool next Saturday. We've not lost to them in 4 games and their winning start won't last forever. Although they did do the double over us in 07/08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitchinFox Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 We'll be fine. We deserved to win at Charlton (I was there) and by the sounds of it we deserved something from today too (wasn't there myself). The cliche of "we need time to gel" from last season - which never happened with Sven's purchases - has already happened in my opinion, and there is genuine competition for places now (Nuge looking unhappy earlier, Dann's twitter outburst - and all those central defenders) which I see as a positive. We've played well in all three games but have only 3 points to show. No disaster. This league will be so close with teams losing to each other that the suggestion that we are already somehow off the pace is rather ridiculous. Sure, who wouldn't be happier with 9 points but I am convinced that if we keep playing like we have, we'll be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inckley fox Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 I thought I got things wrong sometimes - when did Nige sign Danns, Nugent, Schmeichal, Beckford, King, Moore ? Read my post again young man. The key word was 'defence'. And yes, I know Pearson didn't sign Moore, but neither did anyone else so it's still correctly worded.

theessexfox Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 Definitely steadied the sinking Sven ship; disposing of the deadwood, signing young, promising players, and we really are playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 Bit harsh considering we've played three times this season, two games were against a promoted side (on a run) and a Blackburn team filled with quality. We've created, yet again, so many chances today. I don't know what else he can do really, the lack of finishing is poor at the minute - although Vardy's goal was well taken. I agree with Peterborofox, if Nugent would have taken that early chance then the game may have been different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 We knew we had a tough run in for the first ten games, look at Reading last season it aint over yet its three games, plus we look very good on the ball and are creating a lot of chances the goals will come.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 25 August 2012 Share Posted 25 August 2012 I have to say its difficult to argue with a record of three points from three games. I'm especially impressed with the way NP has completely rejigged the defence. It can't be easy to completely fu ck something up so quickly. This.

Corky Posted 26 August 2012 Share Posted 26 August 2012 I've seen improvements on our approach away from home, I do hope that the defeats don't inspire an overhaul to a more negative style, because the chances were created and there were encouraging signs. But we are behind in the race and need to sort it out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look we are only 6 points of top I remember Reading from last year had 11 points from 9 games and were at that time 8 points behind Southampton the rest is history.

Happy Fox Posted 26 August 2012 Share Posted 26 August 2012 But it's important to get off to a good start results wise. Reading doing it doesn't mean we will. 3 games isn't an indication give it 10-15 games and I will be inclined to agree, very early still in the season. No Reading doing it doesn't mean we will but it is some hope to cling on to if the very worst happens which is likely to happen to us knowing out luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxaholic Posted 26 August 2012 Share Posted 26 August 2012 I agree it is incredible how many players and managers dismissed by some fans as rubbish prosper elsewhere . How can Holloway be rubbish in direct competition with Pearson and far less money won hands down and so far although early days doing it again .

iamafox Posted 26 August 2012 Share Posted 26 August 2012 I don't think Pearson has done much wrong since he came back. I backed his appointment last November and still believe it wasn't a mistake. Okay maybe he's hasn't been perfect with his tactics and substitutions but the same goes for every other manager. He's certainly brought more balance and stability to the squad, considering where we were last year when we were overloaded with CMs and short of wingers. And sooner than later he'll bring what we've been lacking for the last 2 seasons, CONSISTENCY. Our squad looks better on paper than it did last year and now they just need to play better on the pitch. He is still the man for the job and I wouldn't want anybody else at the minute.
