Mullet 293 Posted October 27, 2020 For a team not setting the world a light and some dodgy individual performances we are 5th in the league with only Reading setting the pace. If we can compete and get points from our close rivals away from home whilst playing badly and our two best players having a stinker i'll take that for now. Much better than playing well and losing. It is starting to feel as though the only way is up 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repman 616 Posted October 27, 2020 Although picking up the points we have through what has been very average performances, the only worry I have is that we haven't really had a top performance yet. However I still hope we will put it all together soon, and tonight was a reasonably ok performance against one of the better sides in the division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted October 28, 2020 Now that the transfer speculation is out of the way and the squad has time to settle i am confident we will pick up our fair share of points. The defense looks better, though we are short on cover here, we are not banging in the goals, but given that we are letting in less this does not matter quite so much. We may yet have to dip into the transfer market when the window opens if we have realistic aspirations of promotion. I suppose my assessment of the start of the season is that there is not a lot to pick between the current top 8 teams. Reading have got off to a good start but it is along season and they can quite easily be pegged back. Teams will take points off each other on a regular basis underlined by Wycombes draw with Watford and near draw with us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 318 Posted October 28, 2020 Despite a dodgy defence making mistakes leading to goals we have conceded just the 7 goals, one a game not bad better than previous seasons under Farke. Need forward thinking players to buck up their ideas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need forward thinking players to buck up their ideas. And most of those goals scored against us were not really good or world class goals, most were down to individual error that I'm sure (replace hopeful here instead 😉) over time will be ironed out as the teams rust and hangover from last season fades and the team gels together better over time.

daly 497 Posted October 28, 2020 We’ve played nice football with the majority of possession in every game against some of the worst teams in the league with average results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We beat Man City but got doubled by Villa. We now seem to be able to win ugly, we just need to get a bit more clinical up front and we’ll be moving up. With the matches coming thick and fast, hopefully it’ll click soon. Edited October 28, 2020 by Nuff Said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
