Owl In Peace

[Captain Haddock]

The referee didn't have a bad game in my view. Made the odd mistake but nothing worth saying that he was on Charlton's side or anything.

P.S. Don't be so patronising

You have to be kidding?!

'Owl in peace? Are you the lone wolf?

 

[Captain Haddock]

The funny thing is, we have undoutebly been the most consistent team so far, the "table doesn't lie" as they say, we've only lost 3 games ALL season, all of which have been away. Wednesday have lost 8 (3 of which have been at home). In addition, I personally think that we have the best defence in the league, I wouldn't replace any of our first team defensive players with anyone else. We just need more options on the wing, and a consistent goalscorer and it'll be hard to look past us for one of the automatic spots. We might not have spent the most money but we look the most solid, and it makes me laugh when talking to Saints and Huddersfield fans who are urging their Chairman to dip into the transfer market again when they've already spent a fortune in the Summer. If we go up, it will show that throwing money at something doesn't always work, and get you the title like Chelski. It has to be said, Gus has picked up an absolute couple of GEMS in the transfer market, who were off-the-radar and relatively cheap.

But I just can't look past the funds that Huddersfield and Southampton have got, but maybe with Poyet and Bloom we might just do it, we've given ourselves one hell of a chance that's for sure.

Spot on!

He was pretty awful, along with the linesman and the third official, but they were awfully bad for both teams. He could (should) have sent off Bridcutt and Painter (penalty) for us, and he seemed to give us so many free kicks in the second half when the crowd got on his back.

 

[Captain Haddock]

I really don't rate Charlton (also, they are skint and will not improve their squad in January (unless the take-over goes through?)), and inconsistancy seems to the Southampton's middle name.

And again....though I think Stains will make the play-offs.

True....the biased bit is inaccurate in the previous guy's post but he was truly woeful, as were his officials.

I do hope some of our fans feel suitably ashamed when we're crowned champions. Positive support for our team FFS. The owl fan must be wondering why we're so negative! Don't Gus and the team deserve positive support?

I think some of us are just trying to manage our own expectations to be honest!

Yup, and they get it from me,
I think the spending power of Hudds & SCC will get them promoted

I'm glad someone else has noticed Oldham sitting there quietly waiting to play their games in hand. They're still unbeaten at home (like us) and I think they'll make the playoffs. I can't see the SCC winning the league as they've been inconsistent.

after the guts we showed againt charlton i think we will go up but be pipped by wednesday

 

[Danks]

Brighton or Saints, not sure who will be Champs.

 

[El Presidente]

About the only decision that went for us all game was a Foul throw in the second half.

It was a clear penatly, Calde was stupid with the tackle, and Bridcutt could easily have gone too, the ref was not biased.

We did superbly well with ten men though.

 

[kingcole]

It's all about us, Charlton and Southampton. I don't rate anyone else in this division. You've lost eight games already. Too many.

How can you rate Charlton.

At the Valley we paste them 4-0 and at home, despite us electing to give them a chance by way of a 2st minute goal and playing the whole game with 10 men, they still cant win!

managing expectations plays a role, not being arrogant and over confident helps too but i still think the negative energy on board is unfounded! ...

how can anyone think we arent going to get promoted ?

we played brilliant football until the beginning of November , took a breather for two months messing around in the FA Cup at the same time , and now we have clearly refound our form against Charlton , add to that we have now strengthened our squad and we will be taking at least four points from the next two games for sure

on the 15th January i will be at Withdean for the first time since Dec 2008
to see green grass, peterborough and us stretch our lead,

top six?

Long hard seasons see flutuations in form. We've been OK followed by awesome followed by indifferent. I like to think that we have had our bad spell and the recent inactivity due to the weather has suited us and allowed Gus to rally the troops. Two quality signings Noone being 1, "special" striker 2 and we can push on again.

Take a look at the league, almost halfway and we are 4 points clear with a winnable run of fixtures coming up. This is an opportunity not many of us envisaged at the start of the season and it looks like Gus and TB are going to grasp it.

Our role is now to get behind the team, f*** the boo boys off and enjoy decent football and success after years of dross.
