Is 'alright' really such a bad way of describing it? We didn't concede a cheap silly goal like we have been, however messy it may have looked. We didn't lose. It was "alright", if you define 'alright' as "it wasn't what we want or expect from ourselves, we can do better, we will do better, but right now, in this moment, having spent the last 90 mins running around, I'm really exhausted and don't feel like being too negative, afterall a point - on the back of two losses, in the context of how our season has gone - and a clean sheet is not to be sniffed at, but I and can't articulate this sentiment very well because I'm a footballer, not an english professor, PR expert, or media savvy, and I'm really quite knackered"

Interesting points made....
BUT.....How can we have a team on paper as good as ours (is meant to be) perform so erratically? As fans paying 25 quid to watch a poor showing at HOME AGAIN is not that inspiring.
TB has helped realise the stadium dream, and with the players signed many fans (and bookies) were confident,....so what the hell is going wrong??
As fans we need to see QUALITY as well as ENDEAVOUR otherwise it is a sad state of affairs paying to watch our team we LOVE lose as the opposition are REGULARLY BETTER than us.
The JAN window cannot come fast enough as sentiment aside we are OBVIOUSLY not good enough.
According to the Argus, what he actually said was: "The lads will be thinking they have done all right themselves but it's two points dropped rather than one gained."

Apart from my obvious typing error, the quote is as I heard it on BBC Snooze interview with Elf. OK, maybe he didn't mean it to come out like that but I (and I suspect we) do not expect our players to be going home thing they've done 'alright' in managing a 0-0 draw against a team just above the relegation zone.
I had a freebie yeaterday but, with the family coming up & the rain coming down, I decided to avoid a domestic and not go. Even the commentry was painfully dull and it's disrespectfull to the paying supporters, who sat in the rain, to put in just another 'alright' performance. Don't we deserve better?
I was looking forward to Wycombe but now I'll not bother, if that's alright.

The argus always has quotes that we hear on the post game show, which also make it onto bbc news sites.
I don't know if that means the players/managers keep giving the same answers to the same questions, or if they all share the interview. Perhaps there was a pause before the "but it was two points dropped" bit and the BBC cut the tape there for brevity (or perhaps more conspirational reasons)
