All of those replying to my posts where i said BR were very poor and we were average and slating me for it and telling me to shut up and for all to ignore me. Presumably you must strongly feel that BR were good and we were excellent?

....only being able to beat the teams that are in front of you.
The problem is that for the last two seasons we haven't been able to do that.
And yes I do think that we should be easily beating teams like Bristol Rovers and (a completely decimated) Wigan Athletic. |
I am talking about this season so far. If Edwards & Hawkins had taken the really good chances that were created for them we could have easily one 4-0 as it is I will settle for a 2-0 away win as opposed to a 1 all draw at home like Sunderland only managed against them last week. Perhaps BR aren't as poor as you think.
Just because we didn't play brilliantly doesn't mean to say when we come up against better opposition we can't beat them. our best performance last season was our first game against Coventy in a 1-1 draw. Why don't you at least wait until we play one of the better sides and see how we do. If we play badly & lose then you can moan away to your hearts content. [Post edited 20 Sep 2020 15:38]

Very true but if you feel the need to post your opinion on a forum you have to be prepared that some people might take issue with it just like you have with mine. I could only imagine if you & the likes of Bluefish supported a team like Bolton or Wigan I would worry you might get suicidal. | | | |

....for every person that thinks Lambert is hopeless and is incredibly lucky to be in a job (of which I am one and will continue to be one) there are just as many who can see no wrong in anything as long as we win.
When we started with good results last season, it was plain that we weren't actually playing well. We were basically just scoring from the vast majority of the few few chances we created.
Those of us that realised it were vilified then and it looks like the same thing is already happening now.
I hope we improve considerably from where we are now and start winning some games convincingly just like we should with our squad.
The ability to see both pros and cons really does separate the men from the boys.

I just don't see why everything has to be so binary.
You & Bluefish are perfectly entitled to be sceptical, even cynical - I think most of us who follow Town are seasoned/realistic enough to be carrying a bit of that around with us in our subconscious at all times anyway.
"Happy Clappers" (if there are any, I haven't seen anyone who thinks were on the threshold of the Championship door with roses planted round it ready for us) are entitled to do that if they want.
What most people are reacting to I think (no doubt I'll be corrected if wrong!) is that we're not even allowed to enjoy 10 minutes post-match happiness with a 2-0 win, without someone (usually Bluefish) stuffing a heap of killjoy negativity down our throats, on top of the incessant negativity he posts almost every day - even during this years' months long close-season.
Lor knows there's been little enough to be happy about or celebrate for months, so it'd be great to just enjoy our 10 minutes of unadulterated happiness after a 2-0 league win without being labelled "happy clappers" & without someone shredding the performance of team & manager with a "yes but ... they're a rubbish team/others will tear us open/" etc etc. |  |

....they should be balanced?
I agree totally and I'm pretty sure that being balanced means that you should be able to point out negatives as well as positives.
That's balance.
I want us to win every match, but I'm not blinkered enough to realise there are still considerable issues with the team, as well as the number of positives we have seen so far.
If people don't like that type of balance then they should just ignore my opinions.
But I'm still entitled to it.

Yep, given what happened last year it is diificult to have faith even if we are right up there in a couple of months time.
The positive that does give me a lit of encouragement is the noises coming out of the club rgarding consistency of team selection and formation. For me it was the constant chopping and changing that was baffling and I remain hopeful that a more consistent approach will lead to lead to a consistent level of performance through the season. Hopefully consistently good. |
Although frankly, Lambert should have been sacked for needing ME to tell him to knock it off with the Lambingo. |  |

....shouts down any poster that tries to offer some balance.
The issue about whether Bristol Rovers are crap or not is a good example.
I've watched them twice in a couple of weeks and they've been total plop on both occasions.
In my opinion, if someone thinks that we've beaten them twice because we played particularly well then I think they are looking at things through blue tinted specs.
We've done what we needed to so far, but that's it.
Calling people out because they dare to mention negatives is a pointless exercise, and not what this board should be for. [Post edited 20 Sep 2020 16:41]

I think my 2 big crimes were
1 saying Bristol Rovers are crap
2 saying we would be better by bringing Lankester on for Edwards or Sears
It set the masses of morons off on one saying I am a disgrace, oddly I think they probably all agree though about my 2 points above. From what I can gather me saying we won but could still improve is anti itfc and horrendous but them saying we won but could still improve is great balance.
Luckily I haven't found any of them yet with football views that I respect. A few claim to understand football but they post safe fence sitting nonsense. | |

I'm not sure the beginning bit is true. Last season, as Bloots said, we were winning games by being clinical and taking our few chances while not really controlling games, hence the switch from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2 to gain more of a foothold in midfield.
Currently we're controlling games and, in spells at least, creating a lot of chances. I'd say the biggest failing in both the league games was not taking our chances and yet we won both 2-0.
Obviously we'll play better sides than we have so far, not sure either have been up to much, so the jury is out on how strong we might ultimately prove to be. |
Fair dos. I didn't see yesterday's game but the Wigan game for me was reminiscent of early season last season. |  |

Plus they've lost Clarke-Harris.
They offer zero attacking threat at all.
