Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 28, 2018 Not good which is why we are a bottom 6 to 8 club side but as of yet probably not a bottom 3. There are quite a few draws in those 21 games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 457 Posted August 28, 2018 Here''s the full list, but you could go back a little more and and say 8 wins in 34 matches Derby – Draw 1p5wich – Draw Wolves – Draw Bolton – Draw Nottingham Forest – Draw Hull City – Loss Barnsley – Draw Reading – Win Fulham – Loss QPR – Loss Aston Villa – Win Sunderland – Draw Cardiff – Loss PNE – Draw Leeds – Win Sheffield Wed – Loss Birmingham – Draw West Brom – Loss Sheffield United – Loss PNE – Win Leeds – Loss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curious yellow 184 Posted August 28, 2018 Last season''s results will not be taken into account on this years tally.All of our recent promotions were preceded by poor formIt means f.a.All you are doing is trying to create a situation where we definitely will go down.

lake district canary 4,830 Posted August 28, 2018 Yeah Tilly, well I try to look forwards, not back. The very recent past has seen us kick start the season in a match where the players were under enormous pressure to win - and they won - and a match where they gave it a good go against a confident leeds side and who scored against the run of play - even if it was a bit self inficted - at least they gave it a good go. Looking back too far is largely pointless unless people are looking for things to add to their negative outlook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,136 Posted August 28, 2018 "keelansgrandad"Funny how stats to prove things people don''t like are scorned yet stats to prove things they do like are seen as gospel.It''s more a case of people pulling ridiculous stats from their backsides to prove that we aren''t very good. We can see with our own eyes that we''re not good enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 134 Posted August 28, 2018 Lakey, I understand the idea of looking forward, but I don''t think this has to mean that you block out everything that''s happened in the recent past. 4 out of 21 is a terrible statistic and it shows where we are atm...lower regions of Championship (looking down rather than up). For me the biggest problem is , that you can see hardly any progress in the side''s performances!!! I mean the win against Preston was nice but we were awful on the night! When I try looking forward...it doesn''t half look grim... Secondly I don''t like the fact that cash rules football...but it is a fact...you need some spending power... Changes at the club have not realized anything (yet)...and I can''t see them realise anything because we don''t have the money.Looking forward: the need for money to spend will only get more important (which I deplore) , are you denying this?

Crafty Canary 547 Posted August 28, 2018 Farke''s league record is:P 51 W 16 D 16 L 19Win % 31.3%Points per game. 1.25Whilst last season''s results have no bearing on this season; 5 games is not enough to make any meaningful conclusion. Farke''s overall win ratio is not exciting but is close to the 33% that statistically you''d expect over a large number of games with 3 possible outcomes per game.So, he is performing pretty much bang average and at about 60 points per season will keep us around mid-table which would appear to be the expectation of our board.

What I don''t believe is that success is just down to money - and there is a lot to be said for not being in debt or beholden to anyone financially. Time will tell, I suppose it wouldn''t be a surprise if we struggle this season, but what I really hope is that the players and management believe they can compete and do well enough to get up the table and challenge top six. We have the players to do it imo - and some players who will be important for us this season are still settling in or only had a few matches - Rhodes, Pukki, Hernandez, Thompson, Marshall, Krul for instance. Some haven''t feaured at all yet and it will be interesting to see if any of them can take their chances when they get them - Passlack and Godfrey for instance. Looking forwards I see development and improvement, certainly this season as it progresses and after that who knows....a lot depends on where we finish the season.

SwindonCanary 457 Posted August 28, 2018 We tried to eliminate all the high earners and bring in something cheaper which usually means a poorer squad, but being in players like Rhodes, Krul, Hernandez, and Buendia we have done quite well. Now it''s a matter of getting them to play in a style that suits them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 134 Posted August 28, 2018 Agree Swindon, and that''s what I blame the manager for...some of them have been quite astute signings ... But he isn''t playing to their strenghts... sideways passing will not get the best out of Hernandez or Buendia! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Vince 423 Posted August 29, 2018 Any other football club and the manager would have been sacked long before stacking up this record.But hey, as Wynnie stated at the last AGM, other clubs are wrong and the manager must be given time (to get the club relegated). There is no advantage to be gained by sacking a manager prematurely. You might end up staying up instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
