Settle for another "not good enough" point next week?

[Icy Gull]

Or isn't that enough given our position?

A point away against a top-seven side is promotion form, matey.

 

[Icy Gull]

You haven't been paying attention to NSC recently obviously. Single points are rubbish and the manager should be sacked is the gist of it I believe.

 

[fosters headband]

I agree with you Icy, I would take a point now.
But I am worried that we are 6 points lower than this time last year.

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Oh yes, sorry.

MCGOO OUT! BURN HIM!

Is that better?

 

[Djmiles]

Ill be content with points for now, but we HAVE to start winning or we'll find ourselves with too much work to do towards the end of the season.

2 wins before the new year will keep me happy for a while.

Good point today though, away points are often hard to come by...but we have to start winning at home, which we clearly arent doing.

A point away to Reading would be a FANTASTIC result. They're in awesome form at the moment - they've only dropped 13 points all season!

Wins against Hull and Millwall will leave us in a healthier looking position.

 

[woodster]

just got back and a point today was a good point, considering where watford are in the table.

however, there have been too many occasions this season where we have taken a point when all three were there for the taking.

drawing game after game isnt going to keep us up if we cant win games. not sure what needs to change, whether it is more luck or what. what ever it is we need to start winning and soon. the xmas period will be vital.

1 point next week will be OK based on the premise we take 1 point from QPR and win against Hull and Millwall and nick another point in the away fixture at Luton.

A point away at the team 3rd in the league is fine. But constantly throwing away leads home and away against average teams is worrying, wether you like it or not.

True but as long as we stay within 2 points of safety until January when McGhee can sort out a target man, It's ok. This team is good enough to stay up with just a couple of decent additions imo. I believe McGhee will pull it off

 

[BensGrandad]

As I have said before we are two/three players, goal scorer, central midfielder who can tackle unlike Hammond and a defender away from being a saisfactory Championship side but three players, a goalscorer and left footed defender and Blaney away from being relegation certainties. The line is very fine between the two.

Here's McGhee on the BBC:
"I think we've been playing well but the 13 draws we've had now don't help. Eight or nine of them we could and should have won.

"I'm getting everything from those I have but we're a couple of lads short.

"We need a player to turn the 13 draws into six wins and then we would be in the top half."

It's only 3 wins in fifty million games

 

[Beach Hut]

Good point today

 

[Leekbrookgull]

M/M is right,we need a Jimmy Case style player,now and i dont care where from,but finding one is a different matter.

Everythings fine.

The games after Reading are going to be crucial. We have alot of games we could win & shoud win some of them. If we don't we're in far more trouble than it looks like currently. Home games against QPR, Hull & Millwall are games we should look to win. We should look for 7 points from those games. Away to Luton is also winnable - they're beginning to slip after their good start

Today's was a great point though. Anything from Reading would be a bonus.
