As much as we are all annoyed... 19:39 - Jan 21 with 3937 views | RIPbobby | We are just simply the unluckiest team ever... Teams almost always score with their only shots on target and normally by a player who never scores or was only playing due to lack of numbers. Not forgetting the defected shots from 20+ yards. We must average a goal every 6 shots on target and normally come up against a keeper who has a bad back from conceding so many and plays the game of their life. |  | | |  |

I do think luck plays a big part but you're right that it's a losers excuse, you have to think like that, which golfer said " the more I practice the luckier I get".. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I think it was the great Gary Player who said “the more I practice the luckier I get”. And he was right. Anyone whose ever played competitive sport knows that. |  | |  |

As much as we are all annoyed... on 21:14 - Jan 21 with 2911 views | FrimleyBlue | Look we got new manager bounce. Now we are exactly back to where we were under lambert. Said it in November. Might win a game. Footballs good. But we can't defend over 90 minutes and we aren't scoring enough. 8 mill spent and we are going the same way. Each game comes and you think this is the start of the run. Then we draw or lose it. Tbh. It's just looking at may now and who we might get in playoffs... that's even if we finish in them. Which isn't a given based on our form. Can't believe again at Xmas we are top end of the league and fked it up. |  |

"Said it in November" You say everything every month, you then point to one specific post and say "I said it in X and I was right" whilst ignoring the copious amounts of rubbish you also posted. I'm sure it's one of the main reasons that so many posters have more than had enough of you. Same as we were under Lambert? Pathetic. SB |  |

As much as we are all annoyed... on 22:00 - Jan 21 with 2586 views | hype313 | It's simple, take your chances, be 2/3 up and if they score a last minute deflected fluke then so be it, wouldn't make any difference. Unfortunately we're just not clinical enough, if we were we wouldn't have to worry about bad refs, bad luck, deflections. |  |

Actually the opposite was happening under Lambert in the early months of League One - every shot we took somehow went in. |  |

We were top in November, we didn’t play football like this or get into the play offs under Lambert or even finish top 10 |  |

Luck should not come into it when we have spent as much as we have, but I don’t recall a season we have had so many poor decision go against us or have conceded deflected last minute worldies or goals with a teams only shot of the game when we have had 75 percent possession But it doesn’t hide that we aren’t good enough for automatic places. |  |

to ensure a last min deflection becomes a nothing goal how about we look at our failings into my we arent 2-0 3-0 up at this point? 7000 passes, 22 shots, 2 on target, 1 goal. tends to be our stats. hasnt been addressed, we dont try anything different the final 7mins yesterday, at 2-1 down, i think we had 1 serious chance. had we been 2-1 up, we'd have been under the cosh the entire time. what the fck is wrong with us |  |

I don’t think there are any ‘buts’ in this. Luck plays no part whatsoever in anything. You get what you deserve, no more no less. Possession is great but there are no points for that. Controlling a game for 89 mins is great, but it counts for nothing if you can’t put the game to bed and/or collapse with the first puff of wind. There have been too many failures since the season defining Charlton / Sheffield W games for it not to be a pattern. No excuses, no bad luck, just inadequacy on our part and good play from our opponents. You are right - we aren’t good enough for automatic places. Performances and results prove that. The question is what are we going to do about it and where do we go from here? It’s a big test now for McKenna. |  | |  |
