Huge opportunity missed

[blade too long]

where do I accept mediocrity
I suppoet my team at every turn good days or bad
I do make a point of not taking delight like you do on the slightest setback
its a marathon not requiring a knee jerk reaction to every game


its not normal

try being a tad less negative
the way you go on youd think we were 6 points adrift at the bottom

 

[HillmortonBlade]

What utter bullshit.
What's disturbing is people like you accepting mediocrity and tying yourself up in knots to make excuses for it.

"My expectation level is 75% too high" for expecting us to beat ten man, bottom 4 Oldham being a prone example of such utter nonsense.

How's he accepting mediocrity any more than you?

Not that he needs me to defend him, but I agree with much of what blade too long is saying, but don't see that I am accepting it. Do I have bounce out of a flounce every time we play badly and jump to ridiculous opinions to prove how much I am not a clapper?

You accept it in ever daft excuse you make, or by telling people that their expectation level is too high.

To say I take delight is more of your bullshit because of how far your head is stuck in the sand.

Try having a bit more ambition, and concentrate your gaze on the poor decisions being made by underachieving club rather than getting your knickers in a twist because most people can spot what's not good enough.

Bounce out of a flounce?
Jump to ridiculous opinions?

I'm sorry should we all make excuses because it might make you feel better?

Sorry if the opinions I jump to don't toe the party line in thinking that drawing at Oldham isn't a great result for us.

As an aside, Nigel Adkins agrees with me.

Because he continually makes ridiculous excuses for clear underachievement's.

It's starting to get incredibly irritating for more than a few.

 

[blade too long]

again you use the word excuse
as oppossed to your sterile posts based on a growing hatred of the club

a club you criticise ad infintum and you only appear reguarly on here when we dont win
in fact I know wednesday fans who like us more than you

if we win 2-0 next week you might post twice to add a negative point
you can find them in wins which is a talent
for a supposed supporter

I have been in here 5 years and still await a post from you praising the team

Apologies, I meant the bounce out of a flounce regarding other posters (and one in particular). Whilst I take a different view as to levels of expectation, I didn't mean to accuse you of being childish like some. If that's how it read (and on reflection, it might well do) then I take it back.

That's rich.

Have you found any evidence yet that Adkins was being "arrogant" by subbing a player?

More nonsense. Everything you post is an excuse.

I don't hate the club just because I don't make the nonsense excuses you do.

I post as much when we win as when we lose.

As for 5 years, I've been posting here regularly less than 5 months so those first 4 and a half years must have been a dull wait.

It's like you're brainwashed.

 

[Barney]

That's rich.

Yes. The evidence that if you genuinely want to win a game, you don't tend to sub the most dangerous player shortly after the opposition go down to ten men.

You don't have to be Sir Alex Ferguson to spot an error as resounding as that.

Pete , no fan is accepting medioroty at all . We actually had a lot of chances to score more , but to me a draw was a fair result . The booing at the end was a bit OTT , but fans are frustrated , that we are still conceding goals , which puts us under pressure , and we have not found the knack or got the players to grind out a result.

Fans do not go over the top or talk bull shit . They have a opinion like you .

Stop being so confruntational and a irratant , and people ( me ) will respect your views .

Frusted but UTB

Not spoken to Nige yet. was the sub tactical?

I'll be sure to let him know you back on the forum (for how long, nobody knows), in case he needs your advice.

When the person in question talks specifically about me and I know it to be untrue, then I'm sorry but that's bullshit, rather than an opinion.

"My expectation level is 75% too high"
"I hate the club"
"I take delight when we lose"
"I don't post when we win"

All of which aimed at me, all of which nonsense.

Sorry but I'll always call bullshit on that, whether it's respected or not.

every one full of bile and detrimental
you are the most negative person on here and theres absolutely no excuse for you
you are a total miserable negative person with absolutely no humour or redeeming features
go back to bladesmad and rejoin the miserable sods on there

I'll post wherever I like, whether you like it or not you silly man.

And if ANYONE was to be able to "find an excuse for me" then I'd put all my money on you!

Still up to the same unpleasantries? Why say things once when you can repeat yourself umpteen times?

Good night, big man!

And yours full of pie in the sky blind optimism. Leaping to the defence of the club at every single opportunity, without fail.

I'm glad you're not in authority at the club, you'd be happy as larry, floating along in the 4th tier.

It would be nice if the broad church standards that were portrayed on this forum for a long time now could be maintained - sadly they have started to go downhill as well as my beloved Blades.

OI!................ I thought you said i was the most negative on here.
To be honest I don't see how anyone can defend today's result but I knew you would, you are like a scratched record mate same owd same owd. If the result was a one off then the fans reaction would be OTT but sadly these results are cropping up far too often especially for a team who should be looking at gaining promotion. Every season we have been in this division people have said league one gets worse the trouble is every season we get worse too. This year it really is piss poor just take a look at the teams in the top six, two of them straight from league two and a bankrupt Coventry City alongside the massive Walsall and Gillingham ................ makes me sick to look at the tables

 

[PeteBlade]

Keep missing the point.

Keep assuming I care what your point is.

 

[Rodley]

It's Saturday night FFS, give em a break Barny & Pete have waited all week for this.

I'm off for a pint.

[blade67]

It certainly is a missed opportunity and I suppose the only up side is that we still have plenty of time to turn it around. Think on this though.

To be in contention for automatic promotion we need around 2 points per game, so if we want to be back on track by the midway point of the season we need 25 points from the next 10 games or 8 wins and 1 draw.

That doesn't look too realistic, so how do we get to 80 points after 40 games? We'd need (say) 18 wins, 5 draws and only 4 defeats.

The basic message is that we need to improve significantly well before January if we are going to be in contention. The alternative plan is we make a couple of great signings in January and win 10 on the bounce

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

no I said wed get to the play offs last season we did but then lost Brayford when 1-0 up
it killed us
if we can finally get a season when no major players get crocked or sent down we will get up

We've got one back at the moment but results don't seem to be improving BTL, he is scoring though I'll give you that.

 

[raul]

its this lack of respect for other clubs thats misleading us , we are putting ourselves on an undeserved pedestal

some of our fans arrogant disdain towards other clubs is getting too close to wednesdayites arrogance
its sickening

if you go in with that arrogant stance you set yourself up for being let down

we are a league one club , so are they

I agree. There was someone on earlier this week saying 24 wins from 34 (now 33) games was very do-able. What would you say to him ?
