Making Plans 957 Posted September 12, 2006 Just look at the table - good start ?So we''re in 5th place and we are 5 points behind the leaders. However, we''re only 5 points above second bottom. With the exception of Barnsley, Derby & Colchester, our goals against is the worst in the league. Ipswich, who had a very poor start are now just one point behind us. OK, so we''ve scored a few goals but it''s no use scoring goals if you keep letting them in. The season is begining to look very similar to last season - an inadequate squad, a crap defence, a tactically naive Manager, a tight fisted Board, very little hope of promotion, the outside threat of relegation. Realistically mid table obscurity is looming. We''ve swoped Ashton for Earnshaw, Green & McKenzie have gone and we''ve got a new coach. In reality, nothing has changed.

This season: Played 7 (3 home, 4 away) won 3, drawn 2, lost 2, scored 13, conceded 10.5 more points, and 7 more goals this season despite playing twice as many away games!Ashton 3 goals last season, Earnshaw 6 this!I''m not suggesting everything is perfect but surely you can see changes for the better. I know I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
