cjslcfc Posted 5 March 2013 Share Posted 5 March 2013 Everything seems to be a banana skin, a tough game or has the potential for us to slip up. It's the same for every team and is the nature of this league! We've been in it long enough to know that. If we win tonight it makes this game a lot easier though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyfox Posted 5 March 2013 Author Share Posted 5 March 2013 That probably came across wrong, its a big game tonight and fully expect a win. Just hope we don't think because it's Sheff Weds who are struggling, we can expect an easy game. I hope not anyway its my first game back down with my broken leg, really looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyfox Posted 5 March 2013 Author Share Posted 5 March 2013 Fair comment, but from what I seen of them against forest we should have enough to beat them easily, if we play like we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakeyfox Posted 5 March 2013 Share Posted 5 March 2013 A potential banana skin, I hope not but can see us taking 3 points against Leeds, then taking the foot off the gas! Think less banana skin and more dangling noose. We lose this and we may as well end it all. And after the draw with an average Leeds side who are poor away from home we need a huge performance against a lowly but in-form side in Sheffield Wednesday. Just don't mutter the m**t w*n words...

kristianity77 Posted 5 March 2013 Share Posted 5 March 2013 Id say its a banana skin for Sheff Wednesday. They will be coming here thinking 3 points is in on offer and they would be absolutely right. We are that bad at the minute that any side in the championship would fancy their chances against us and rightly so. Quite how this season has turned into the downward spiral that its turning into is astounding. Either Pearson is making massive cock ups (which cant be said on this forum for fear of a backlash) or the players are not playing for him (which again, cannot be said for fear of a lashing). But something is massively up at our club somewhere, and unless it gets rooted out instantly, we're gonna finish mid table and this season will have been the biggest disaster since being relegated under Holloway.

iamafox Posted 5 March 2013 Share Posted 5 March 2013 Don't think this game will be as easy as most of you are expecting it to be. They beat Hull on their own patch and also Palace not so long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wurmer Posted 5 March 2013 Share Posted 5 March 2013 No such thing as an easy game in this division, and particularly so with our inconsistency. Can't imagine any team worrying about playing us at the moment - they'll be up or it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyfox Posted 6 March 2013 Author Share Posted 6 March 2013 Ok we're having a bad run, I'd rather it be now and pick up momentum going into the play offs. We're not conceding many goals and need some luck in front of goal, I'm sure it will come. Something's not quite right behind the scenes, but just hope it's nothing too serious.

Col city fan Posted 6 March 2013 Share Posted 6 March 2013 One thing I picked up last night was really apparent. None of the players were 'playing with a smile on their faces' to quote Brian Clough. There seems to be an austere air about the team at the moment... Not once can I recollect any of them looking as though they were having fun. Sure, it was a tough game against a typically resilient Warnock side and not one for the purists, but our lads generally looked fookin miserable last night. Again, I agree with many posters on here and say there doesn't seem to be much obvious talking going on between the players. I could be wrong, I don't always hear them from where I sit, but last night we didn't look a happy side. I hope this changes on Saturday and we once again play with a swagger that we know is there from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of negativity at the moment, it isn't a disaster yet but we're slumping badly and the players know it. On the plus side they do seem desperate to get out of this slump but it did worry me a bit to see a lot of frustrated faces out there. The team seemed very pleased to see Keane's header go in, hope that lifts us a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyfox Posted 6 March 2013 Author Share Posted 6 March 2013 Your definately right, although I think Drinky and King/James are great ball players and graft. There not nasty enough, and don't put it about enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is surely hyperbole at its worst? I totally agree that the wheels are rapidly coming off, and it needs sorting out immediately, but this season has still been great in many respects - obviously we won't be able to truly judge until the last day but to say that a season like this (where we'll either go up automatically, through the play off, lose in the playoffs or just miss out) is the "biggest disaster" out of the previous two is crazy! Sven and the board blew millions on big name players that delivered **** all, created a bloated and unbalanced squad, left Pearson with less money to work with and put us in a up or bust situation.

Sorry but the days of blaming Sven are long gone. This is Pearson's team and has been from the start of the season. Something is clearly wrong within the team as Col suggested and it looks like the problem what ever it is will scupper out season because we are running out of games and options.

David Hankey Posted 6 March 2013 Share Posted 6 March 2013 The fact is we shouldn't be considering anything else or than 3 points against Wendy. Look where they are, in the doldrums. If we can't be them we shouldn't be looking at promotion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fair points - but you've not read my post. I'm not excusing our current form and situation by blaming Sven at all. I'm saying that this calling this season "the biggest disaster since being relegated under holloway" as pretty sensationalist especially given that we could either go up automatically, through the play offs, lose in the playoffs or just miss out, and particularly when compared to last season when we under achieved after Sven's 'summer trolly dash' and the previous seasons investments under Sven and Sousa.
