great point tonight.. alternative thread

[super_pig]

great point tonight lads..
colchester have been top form team over the last few games.. they hammered charlton last week
we're now 2 points ahead with a superior goal difference that means its in effect three
we've also restored the fixture balance so we're five home five away..
we're in the box seat now
UTB

see wasn't that hard was it??

 

[SwissBlade]

I admire your optimism.

 

[blade too long]

[Bladesman]

Super smashing super.

How does that work, then?

So, if we lose the next game, and the cunts win, we stay one point ahead of them?

Face it, if that happens, and they get the wind in their sails, you'll wonder what the fuck happened on Valentine's night.

It means - if we draw and they win we stay ahead of them.

 

[SwissBlade]

Its not doom and gloom, far from it, we just need to keep looking forward and not looking over our shoulder. Concentrate on what we have to do

 

[anglian blade]

It felt like 2 points lost. Coasting it then a goal, getting complacent, then a goal out of the blue followed by 10 minutes of panic before a disjointed recovery

Pomps I have long enjoyed your posts leading up to several interesting discussions; Are you a tad more pessemistic than you used to be? I see where you are coming from but how did you feel when Warnock almost threw promotion away? What should we do to improve things? Only asking like

This is prob one of the reasons why we won't get second place. How many times do the blades need to get complacent before they learn the lesson

no its one of the reasons we will go up , we played a good side , they scored a goal ,which other teams do and we regrouped to get what is a good point at a club thats in the top 8

Any other time of the season you would take 4 points from 2 away games. Thats an ok return. Back to winning ways at home on Saturday and we are back on track

It was never going to be a walk in the park, never is with SUFC but 4 points from 2 tricky away games is very good and I'm not too dissapointed at all. 7 wins or 6 and 2 draws with our better goal difference from the last 10 and we will be ok i think.

I agree Torrix. The key is going to be our home form. We must win all those to stand a chance really

The contrast in the two sets of fans is never more apparent than when we drop a few points and they pick up a few , if the roles were reversed they would be looking at charlton and worrying about which game they will get to parade the lg 1 trophy

Only a couple of weeks ago they were talking of not going any more because their ginger god was sacked , ask any of them if they miss him now

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Maybe we should concentrate on one paper headline today "Blades close gap on leaders Charlton"

I don't actually see that. Wendy fans seem to be just as pessemistic after a few bad results. In fact, it's footbal fans overall. I don't think we're really any different to any other group of fans - way too optimistic after a few wins, way too pessimistic after a few defeats.

[SotonBlade]

6 out of 10 wins and i reckon we'll be there. 86 points should be plenty

 

[super_pig]

what inspired me to write this is whilst i was reading all of the gloom and doom sky sports reported it as 'united gain point to go two points clear of third place sheffield wednesday'..it's all how you look at it.. i was pretty astonished by some of the gloom and doom on here last night.. and if you know me i could do cynical at the Olympics

 

[blade too long]

I just get dumb founded by the utter negativity of some blades
You d think wed lost 6-0 last night, not got a point at a team who won at Charlton a week ago
We are second it could be argued we could be many points better off
but
so could wednesday so could huddersfield
terriers only drew at home to rochdale , thats 2 points dropped
wednesday still only got 1 point from their last 3 away games but some "blades" think they will over haul us easily, God only knows why,we lost 2 games ok as circumstances took away our defence, but its back now and guess what we havent lost
We have 5 games against 5 in the bottom 7 to come

Wednesday have beaten the 2 teams bottom of the form guide at home , big wow
All we ask is a little reason
We are second today as weve fucked up less than 22 other clubs, look at it from that perspective instead of thinking only we make cock ups

Although it sounded on the radio like we controlled the game, by Wilsons own admissions, we did not test their keeper enough. They scored against the run of play ( a great finish) and the game finished level. Fair enough, 2 good away results and back at home Saturday. Nice.
