I know we are top of the league....

[Blade56]

But somehow it doesnt feel like we're having a good season.

Think it's the anxiety of previous seasons. Got a great manager, rounded squad and unbelievable support.

Get it right tomorrow and put those early chances in the onion bag and we'll be alrieght.

Won't we?

Sounds like absolute nonsense to me.

I know some seem to suffer badly from nerves. Just drink more beer before the game.

 

[TJB.]

Top of the league with a decent enough points cushion, atmosphere back, Blade in charge and some superb football on display. Good times back with a bang.

Are the nerves kicking in? Too right. But feeling like we're not having a good season is a peculiar thing to feel!

 

[Tunstall Fred]

I feel more like its a relegation scrap than a good season,somehow

Its a problem a lot of our fans suffer with
They can see we are the best team in this league but are overly wary of our past failures
Its stopping them enjoying a really really good team entertain us.
This to me feels as dominant as when we won division four
But because we over analyse everything detail to death of the now long gone last 5 seasons some keep up a guard of fear of failure

A good win Saturday might even see a few more converts to the bleeding obvious , weve got a good team

I get told by the doubters take one game at a time on its merits
they should convert this to the bigger picture

take each season on its merits , not base it on past failures

You're right, must man-up, got to believe. Will throw every emotion into tomorrow. Win that and I can't see us missing out.

The trouble with 56 is that he's a clown

 

[Ricky]

We should have another 10 points.

I'm not happy one bit.

 

[Bladesman]

We have been here before.

I would but then people will shout at me for going for a pee 20 minutes in.

 

[Selly]

We are clearly having a good season so far.

However from here nothing more than promotion would constitute a good season. Even a win in the playoffs would have with it a 'yeah, but we should have gone up automatically really shouldn't we?' tinge to it...

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Just play this and think of three points at 4:45 tomorrow

 

[SwissBlade]

You're right, must man-up, got to believe. Will throw every emotion into tomorrow. Win that and I can't see us missing out.

Yeah man up princess. Do you also suffer from 'man flu'? Sand in the vagina?

We don't NEED to win tomorrow, it would be nice, but again, more important not to lose

 

[Rodley]

Seriously?

That's a bit like me saying the missus is kind, funny, beautiful and a complete breath of fresh air. But she overcooks my poached eggs. So I'm not happy one bit.

Mine's a great cook as well, Rodders.

If we were top of the championship I think most of the supporters would be excited by the prospect of what we would get if we got promoted.

Top of league 1 it's hard not to be fearful of what we'd get if we didn't get promoted.

No, not seriously. But it irritates me that we haven't got the points we should have (at least 6 more) because then we'd have nothing to worry about at all.

A bad poached egg? Deal breaker surly...

I agree with you - for me we should be doing what Charlton did and get 100+ points.

Our problem all season is getting early goals and then getting the 2nd to kill games off.

CW & AK will get it right, it's just a shame we are ging the rest a chance to get near to us.

UTB

 

[YES Blade]

We are obviously doing well and having a good season, but it just feels like we are the best of a bad bunch this year. I think can see the Champions "only" getting 80 to 85 points, whereas in previous seasons the Champions have got over a 100 points and we even missed out on 90 points.

 

[BushBlade]

It's because our seasons are now defined by whether or not we go up. And nothing else.

 

[Grecian2000]

Bloody hell. Since Southend at home there have only been a couple of games I've not enjoyed. There weren't even two I DID enjoy last season.
I'm having a bloody great season.

 

[Esablade]

This line has the potential to be up there with 'Man walks into a bar....'

'I know we are top of the league....But somehow it doesnt feel like we're having a good season.'

Not a phrase I ever expected to see tbh......

Swiss, I associate you with many things, so can you please expand on what you've referred to as 'sand in the vagina'? Surely a euphemism, or does it suggest a malaise that's contagious?

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Will feel much better if we get back to a two points per game average. I think that is an important marker.

Seriously Miss R's poached eggs are amazing. It explains my sunny disposition!
