Am I allowed to criticise?

[Guest Bilo]

Who are you talking about? Me?

 

It certainly comes across as though you derive more pleasure from seeing us lose as win, yes. Quite why you feel the need to have a 'Nugent is Rubbish' sig when he's been our top goalscorer for the past two seasons is beyond me as well.

If you follow me on Twitter then you'd realise I take zero pleasure from losing.

 

In life, we only remember the bad memories. At School, we were only told off and not praised. At work it is only noticed when we are late no matter how many times we are early.

 

In football, fans moan win or lose.

 

Some things in life are a given.

 

P.S - I think Nugent is rubbish.

Brilliantly relevant. Told off at school = complete and utter criticism for the team I support when they lose.

Got it.

My mum took my gameboy when I was little, thts why I hate coronation street.

Oh sorry, just wanted to name two random things and put them together!

Mate, seriously?

[JohnnyFox]

Didn't understand why people were clapping, we were utter shite! Not acceptable if we want to go up. Should of been 3 points to us, doesn't matter about the ref. We still weren't good enough.

Well done for taking one quote out of context. Read the entire sentence first before making a ridiculous reply. 

 

That school thing didn't go too well for you did it?

Would explain a lot of your posts.

Ridiculous maybe. But after reading the ENTIRE post,I had no idea as to how it was relevant.

I get you were saying we are hard wired to be somewhat negative and always want more. I just don't see what your 'bad life memories' has to do with criticising your own football team who are doing quite well, with an analogy that doesn't really make a great deal of sense, whilst being very vague.

Perhaps you couldn't think of a way to put it into words, I half see what your saying. Like I've said before though, make an idiotic point but back it up with good evidence and discussion then go for it, what forums are for, but I feel that you are doing exactly what was posted above by another, that you are in wait until things start to go bad just so you can say 'I told you so'.

I think we all need to agree, we aren't that good. Losing to Charlton was no surprise as our performances this season have been poor.

You can't keep playing bad and scraping wins.

I love the fact we have a young team made up of mainly British players and a few academy boys in there too.

Going from 3 at the back to 4 at the back is not for me. I think NP needs to know his best back 4 and stick with it. Mixing up the midfield and strikers depending on the opponent is fine, and I'm glad we have the options to be able to play 4 or 3 in the midfield.

Not a NP fan but I hope he can get us playing well and winning because I don't see many better options out there to replace him.

Wow,...This post alone says so much!

My mate supports Cardiff. Reckons digging in and keeping tight got them promoted. Lots of average performances where they just edged it more often than the opposition. I am getting like a broken record but football in this division is about fine margins. Playing Knockaert and Dyer from the off away from home in an expansive 4-4-2 home is like backing yourself to score more than the opposition every time. Bring them on when players are tiring if needed to lift the team and crowd. Play a more solid formation aimed at not conceding frustrates the home team and fans and means you only need 1 goal to have a good chance of winning. If you don't get it you have a decent chance of getting a point which is all we need on our travels.. Like the L1 campaign, Pearson seems to have realised you have to be tighter away from home and this often translates to more negative / less fluid style of play . But it is about fine margins. It appears yesterday the ref made one decision that prevented us getting an almost certain goal (equaliser) and reduced the team to 10 men which in turn will have impacted on the game plan. This is a fairly major impact when fine margins separate success and failure irrelevant of whether we were playing well or not. We need to accept we will play crap and win games, play well and lose games. We need to find a way to edge games in our favour so that whether playing well or poorly, we turn draws into wins and defeats into draws. A game can turn on one incident - maybe a 10 second incident that is more important than the rest of the 90 minutes. A goal against the run of play or a moment of brilliance. 10 points from 5 with 3 of the 5 being away and 1 defeat where 1 decision had a major impact and where we are still bedding in a new system is so good so far but as another poster states too early to make any sound judgement anyway.

Brilliant post!

It's all about being hard to beat. If the oppo are gonna win then make them work for it. We didnt against charlton and that's why it's frustrating but how many games, last season, did we lose by more than 1 goal? Only a few wasnt it?

Time to try being a bit tougher and play differently as what we've been doing last few seasons has worked but only got us so far!

If we're going to adopt that tactic away we NEED to practice defending set pieces. 

[Bagworthblue]

That's the bit I missed. Keep working on them in training and most importantly work on not giving so many in the 1st place

Do you not think we do then? What do you think happens down the training ground, shooting practice and 5 a sides?

Have you seen proof that we do because I haven't.

Yes I was at the training ground 2 weeks ago. They practiced set pieces.

I'm calling bullshit
