Last 2 promotion seasons we have been struggling approachingDecember, not been playing, results not going well and some fans have been revoluting
And in the end we clicked, got into gear, fantastic run results and het presto!!
So here we are again …… [Post edited 23 Nov 2025 20:27]

I of course know it is more nuanced that this but it’s a mad world that we won two away games back to back 4 1 followed up by a draw but we are struggling in the eyes of most fans [Post edited 23 Nov 2025 20:34]

I think our play suits playing away where teams come onto us
We haven’t worked a way round the low packed block | |

There is a reason the low block is so popular. IT WORKS! It is hard to break down. |  |

And it’s up to us to find ways through it, round it, over it
Obviously taking what chances we do create would help | |

I don’t think so. Last 2 promotion seasons we suffered a short Christmas slump after a good start. We haven’t had the good start this year. |  |

With the bonus that results are actually going well, three wins and two draws from our last five games and 4-1 wins in our last two away. |  |

Of course Keno. I think some forget though, the reason teams employ the low block is because they know they couldn't compete if they went at us.
A low block doesn't require skilful players, just players that do their job well. It's never easy to break a block down.
People stating that KM should have 'sorted out how to deal with a low block by now' seem to be oblivious to the fact that if it were that easy, it wouldn't be employed by teams anymore. | |

Think it was Pique suggesting the rule change where nobody gets a point for 0-0 draws, only a point each if 1-1, 2-2 etc |  | | |

It certainly works against us. You would imagine that at this stage McKenna would have worked out a more challenging formation to crack our Achilles Heel. To be a successful team you need to bank on winning your home games. Because of our failure to overcome the low block since the last time we were in the Championship we will struggle to get promotion. It can't be the players because we are failing with different players so it must be tactics or formation. | | | |

In nine games from 16/12 to 14/2 we one once and lost twice. We did something similar the previous season. Ebb and flow of a long season I guess. |  | | |

well not quite. You have forgotten the Watford 1-1 between the two 4-1 wins. | | | |

That's the thing. We have worked out how to get around it, but we aren't taking those chances we create.
Our players are good enough to create, just not clinical enough to capitalise. |  | | |
