morty 0 Posted January 21, 2017 So basically, out of all you football experts on here, only 2 or 3, including me, predicted correct.Tsk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,283 Posted January 21, 2017 Morty how can anyone predict anything NCFC correctly anymore? I mean I genuinely hoped we would win and did, I predicted AN would be sacked and he''s still here.The fun of uncertainty of the great game which is football, now all I can say is come next week, we might all be predicting a comfortable win against Brum, but we know what that can lead to!I''ll just go with my hope that we can scrape another win, back to back wins are something not seen since 1st week in October......fingers crossed.

Indy 3,283 Posted January 21, 2017 You''re probably right, but you can''t blame them given what went on before 3 o''clock.Time to move on that''s the double over Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,283 Posted January 22, 2017 Sorry is that the same Wolves who won 3, drew once and lost once to our three losses one win and a draw, would hardly say average compared to our form Morty!Still you have your opinion, mine is my own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,089 Posted January 22, 2017 It makes me laugh, or smile wryly at least. Posters on here used to get so worked up about Hughtompn being respectful of our opposition in the PL, but when Neil doesn''t fall to his knees and proclaim Lambert the Messiah he''s a blasphemer.

Mr Cholmondley Warner 0 Posted January 22, 2017 The best way to sum up between the 2managers is that neil has a formula 1 racing car and the Messiah a fiat 500 and the Messiah run him closeWhat a man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,279 Posted January 22, 2017 I thought we''d lose 2-0......I''m so pleased I was wrong...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Pretty much this Mello.Predicting a loss doesn''t mean you want to lose - as fans we are all happy if we win (we''ll if you aren''t I would question if you are a fan)As for predicting results, if it was that easy we would all have 20-fold accas come in each week...

Now, whether or not you believe Rotherham was all about having a man sent off, or not, the important thing is that Alex Neil and the players believed it.That, coupled with the fact that our home form is pretty decent.People made way too much of the Lambert thing.
