We are sixth top and not sixth bottom! I would have taken this at the start of the season. We haven't much cash to spend and to be fair Ritchie has done a good job. If the board were honest they probably didn't expect this . The team's on the up - the finances are not great but they are improving and we seem to be going in the right direction! (raiseaglass)
I'd have been happy with a mid-table finish. We can't run before we can walk. That said, it WAS pretty dire tonight. Lack of numbers, atmosphere, and the rain, didn't help matters. I don't think Gillingham would have scored if we'd played all night. They are really píss-poor, and yet we could only win by a solitary goal. This division is diabolical. Truly awful. We need to get out of it, by hook or by crook. If that means scraping 1-0 wins against God-awful teams until May, then so be it. It might not be pretty, but I'll take it if it means we go up.
Yep - I sure agree If we can win games when playing poorly, then that is the sign surely of a good team?</p>
RE: Yep - I sure agree Either that, or a lucky team. Neither is a bad thing, in my opinion. 'Rather a lucky manager than a good one....'
Two words!! Sheffield Wednesday - last season! Well, FOUR words actually - but they were a crap side last term and managed to get themselves promoted. No reason we can't do the same, as far as I can see.
RE: Two words!! Sheffield Wednesday - last season! Dominant centre half. Striker who could score a few.
RE: Two words!! Sheffield Wednesday - last season! assuming you mean Steve McLean, he finished the season with 20 and Hayes already has 11, hardly a million miles behind is he.
RE: Two words!! Sheffield Wednesday - last season! maclean was out for a few months. Dominant centre half.
Last Season We would have drawn that game. We defended very well with 3 fit defenders in the second half, all credit to the lads at the back. Reid and Austin were outstanding.
RE: Two words!! Sheffield Wednesday - last season! Washday have two who'd walk into our first team. Both on free transfers im lead to beleive.
