We weren't exactly great on Saturday to be fair

We've made up the points margin that people said was not possible over 17 games in about 4.
The performance on saturday has nothing to do with that.

The above shows exactly what you mean. Some real stupid comments from a lot of people
Indeed. Win our game in hand and we are only seven points off the top two. Mind you, I think that will prove a lot harder to recover. It's relatively easy to make up points on middle teams compared to the top teams who are already scoring nearly two points a game.

Up the Albion!
If you read NSC regularly you know who to expect the negative stuff from. They thrive on bad results & each have their own particular little gripe but all of them seem to enjoy it when results don't go as hoped for.

Exactly. The top two is NOT out of reach in ANY way. However, Sadly the team is 2nd is the team who are playing BRILLIANTLY and their next 4 fixtures are VERY kind to them:
Wolves v Watford
Watford v Sheff Wed
Watford v Blackpool
Barnsley v Watford

What absolute twaddle. Who are 'they' you mention? I am not a great believer in Gus and have occasionally voiced an opinion, but to say I might enjoy BHAFC losing is madness. There seems to be a great divide between 2 parties who are either 'happy clappers' or 'whingers' I think actually most of us are neither, but I shall continue to question Gus's continued negativity, which I again witnessed on Saturday
Terry berry is inept.
We've just beaten the top two sides in the division (Hull were 2nd when we beat them) and you want to winge about how well we played on Saturday (even though we won)
We've had some games where we've played great but not got the win (eg Blackburn and Bolton at home) - on Saturday we weren't so great, but we got the points - football is like that.

I don't understand your point? I know we won, but am I not allowed to question the tactics? I was delighted, jumping up and down etc.. Do you just go to the pub and say Gus is perfect and don't question anything ever? What a dull experience. Me and my mates discuss the line up, subs etc and have different opinions. Mine is that we needed more width and pace on Saturday, but yes we won, I just don't think expressing a viewpoint slightly different to the current manager makes me less of a supporter

Exactly. And GUS is the negative one!
I mean, Gus hardly had ANY attacking options on the pitch....apart from our £3m striker....and our former spanish international superstar who was man of the match....and our former la liga winger who scored the goal...and our former barcelona-trained attacking midfielder who got an assist and our 'conservative' wing backs who provide many crosses in into the box (bridge for Lopez's goal).
So. damn. negative.

You're first post was "We weren't exactly great on Saturday to be fair" in a thread about us moving into the playoffs.
There are times when you discuss the tactics and where, in your opinion, we wern't great and then there are times when you should just be PLEASED with a result.
The fact you met VERY good news with "We weren't exactly great" is very telling.
If you can't just ENJOY a brilliant few results then I would much rather be enjoying my 'dull experience' of being delighted with a win.

strong and stable with me, or...
Really
First half I thought Orlandi and Bridge down the left gave us more than enough width, and while Bruno wasn't on top form, and granted Spanish Dave tends to drift inside, he too gives us a lot of width as well. Not sure I could agree on there not being enough width to be honest.
Second half it seemed to go a bit wrong for us, but first half I thought the line up and tactics were spot on. Should have been 2-0 up at HT with Leo's miss - what a ball that was from Lopez out wide one side out to Orlandi on the other!
In the end, a well fought 3 points. Take that all day.
