Very worrying run of form 16:09 - Oct 22 with 6468 views | HARRY10 | Six points out of the last eight games, which would give us 34.5 points over the season. The six points came from the bottom two in the table. Thankfully the next one up (game as well as place in the table) is Burton. But we are now closer to the bottom three than we are to the top three, albeit we have a game in hand. Sorry to be such a doom monger) | | | | |
Very worrying run of form on 16:11 - Oct 22 with 5848 views | No9 | 1/4 of the season gone, most of the 'easy' games have been played. Other teams will be considering chnages to be made & if any acquisitions are needed in the forthcoming tranfer window. Not here tho'? | | | |
Very worrying run of form on 16:19 - Oct 22 with 5833 views | Vaughan8 | Have we even picked up any points against anyone not in the bottom 10 or so? This just means we are going to end bottom-mid-table again. Maybe 15th? Haha. The sky highlights today did show mostly our chances. Just seems Norwich took one of theirs. That's our problem. The start of the season we were scoring something like 80% of our chances. Most people except the massive optimists must have know that kind of thing wasn't going to last. Sadly we are too good to go down (we beat the bottom teams) but not good enough to even threat the playoffs. It's sad times. As another thread said, we have become a bit of nothing team. We haven't even had a decent cup run for years and years. [Post edited 22 Oct 2017 16:20]

Actually it was quite a good finish - against a fair few almost feeble shots they had. The concern must be if we get a few injuries, we don't look as if we have much cover. | | | |

You can't use injuries as an excuse , all teams get them , that's why you have a first team squad | | | |

No, you're just so painfully dim it's hurting my brain. Read the posts in the thread again and see if you can work it out, maybe get an adult to break up the long words for you phonetically if you're struggling. | |

I agree, I do wonder what funds he gets in January if he’s still here. If it’s reasonable then surely that points to him being given another contract. | | | |
Very worrying run of form on 18:58 - Oct 22 with 5561 views | judespiveyg | That's a stupid stat, if you look at the last twelve games, that's 18 points, giving us an average of about 70 points. That doesn't mean we'll get 70 points, just like how your stat doesn't mean we'll finish with 34.5 points. | |

" just like how your stat doesn't mean we'll finish with 34.5 points. " I never said it we will. I merely commented on what our poor run would give WERE it to be over the whole season. As in : "Six points out of the last eight games, which would give us 34.5 points over the season." It was a way of measuring how bad the recent run has been, NOT any prediction for the season. | | | |
Very worrying run of form on 21:55 - Oct 22 with 5425 views | christiand | Yes Burton next week, who I think personally will turn us over. Then Preston, Cardiff, Hull City, Sheffield Wednesday, Derby , Aston Villa - some real tough fixtures. The next two after that are Nottingham Forest and Middlesboro'. It really does make for worrying reading. We could be in real trouble after those set of fixtures and on current form you can't rule it out. Last season was poor, but this one has the potential to be even worse. | |

Burton aren't very good so we should be looking to win that game. The reality is that we are a lower mid table side. That shouldn't be a surprise given the last 2 seasons. Norwich were a little better today than us, but again, that shouldn't be a real surprise. More quality on the ball from them; too much hoofing from us. | |

It also has the potential to be a lot better, we just need to start getting back on the winning end of these tight Championship games rather than the losing end. | |

Feck me. Burton? If we're genuinely concerned about Burton we may as well just give up now. | |

You may joke, but Burton have picked up points against sides we have lost to this season. Clough will have them fired up for our fixture, a win for them pulls us closer to them. Throw in the fact that we are on a poor run, think it is going to be much tougher than some on here actually think. | |

I think you'll find my comment is perfectly accurate 'But we are now closer to the bottom three than we are to the top three, albeit we have a game in hand'. It is you who is trying to read something into it, so getting yourself rather over excited. | | | |
