Mike Oxlong Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 And even with 5 defenders we are typically letting in two goals a game. So just need to score three from one striker up top to pick up the required maximum points. Genius.
Mark_w Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Yeah we have memories and support Leicester, think we all pretty much remember what's happened in the last 22 games. Are you just aiming to make us feel more miserable? Is that literally the point of this thread?
Swiss_tony Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 the difference between a team like us and sunderland is they managed to make some of the L's into D's. you don't have to win all the time but turning any 6 of the 1 goal losses into draws and we'd still be in with a shout of getting out of jail.
seenitall Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Yeah we have memories and support Leicester, think we all pretty much remember what's happened in the last 22 games. Are you just aiming to make us feel more miserable? Is that literally the point of this thread I read your posts with interest Mark W - you have defended Nigel to the hilt and even his Mrs must have less belief in him than you but really, he isn't good enough for our club, and surely that is more important?
Stadt Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 It's disappointing that we're trotting out "at least we've not been thrashed" but I'd much rather lose 2-0 than 5-0, it's not much of an achievement but this season could have been much more miserable.

I'm actually finding the mediocrity of this season the most galling aspect. Where are the comedy memories? The 'were you then when we got thrashed by X'? All we'll have is "do you remember that 2-1?"
st albans fox Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Come the end of May, it's actually just about possible that our goal difference might keep us up. having got to this stage, I suspect the manager is continually harping on about not getting tonked. I imagine he has looked at the last 8 games and decided that they will make or break us. We are already broken but not quite lost the instructions to put it all back together.
Tuna Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Don't worry there won't be many more premier league games left to continue the cycle, and probably no more for quite a few years.

We haven't been embarrassed live on tv, sure we've performed dreadfully but we haven't seen a side put 6 past us like Derby had most weeks in their prem season - I don't think they appreciated the comedy.
johnny the fox Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 when you set up not to lose badly..you don't lose badly...

Lose as many as you want til end of March. We can turn it on its head in April and May Seriously...
AKCJ Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Up there with the worst threads i've seen on here. What is the point? We all know the situation we've been in and we all know how easy it is to bend facts. We've not been turned over this season and we've been competitive in each fixture we've played in. Which means we've been beaten by fine margins. These margins are any combination of; -Not being good enough. -Poor refereeing. -Luck. -Individual mistakes. Today comes down to the first two. Man City would have won either way because they're a quality side but the referee had a mare and we should have had more from the game but for awful decision making. To say we've got what we've deserved based on that stat is narrow mindedness at it's hilarious worst.

I can only think of Spurs at home and possibly Arsenal away.
Tuna Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 10 points out of a possible 66. That's like finishing a season in the football league on around 21 points. Hopeless. Worst team in the league? Try worst team in the country!
johnny the fox Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Fine margins.. just what i said when I shat on the floor of the toilet..
Corky Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Which of those 22 did we deserve something from? I can only think of Spurs at home and possibly Arsenal away. QPR was a cracking game, possibly there.
Guest ttfn Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 Which of those 22 did we deserve something from? I can only think of Spurs at home and possibly Arsenal away. Well some of those 22 we did actually get something from. We deserved *something* from: Burnley Newcastle (and we were doggo in that game) WBA QPR Spurs Liverpool Villa (H) Palace (H) Everton All things being equal I don't think 15 points would have flattered us from the last 22 games. That is obviously still absolutely desperate but I don't think we've quite got what we've deserved based on the pattern of the games, chances created etc. Unfortunately we have been shit in both boxes so on a purely reductive goals = quality basis we've got exactly what we deserved just like every football side ever.
Guest ttfn Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 QPR was a cracking game, possibly there. Vardy should have had a hat truck that day and Schmeichel played like he had lead in his boots. That second goal for QPR where he let the ball travel 40 yards into his six yard box still makes me a little bit cross (great pun intended). Then did we deserve to win at Stoke and Hull? Course we bloody didn't.
Mark_w Posted 4 March 2015 Posted 4 March 2015 I read your posts with interest Mark W - you have defended Nigel to the hilt and even his Mrs must have less belief in him than you but really, he isn't good enough for our club, and surely that is more important? You know I've always been stubbornly in support of Pearson, but you've really won me round with that compelling argument.
