So if we have a TOP 6 squad does that MEAN we a BOTTOM 6 manager ?

[Ernest]

As everyone APART from me was CREAMING their UNDIES over our new SINGINGS predicting INSTANT promotion how does a DEFEAT at Brentford FIT in ?

Looks like the Manager and COACH had better SHAPE up quickly as if we LOSE to IPSWICH they may well be FINNISH this time next week.

Mid table beckons unless we get a target man

The season finishes in September.

 

[ExmouthExile]

We don't have a top 6 squad, we have a mid table squad.

 

[sparkie]

Haven't properly replaced Ulloa.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Haven't properly replaced Ulloa.

And we can't realistically. One of the premiership's top scorers and potentially worth double what we sold him for.

And we will suffer accordingly

 

[Dolph Ins]

Wake up. I only listened but this should have been a draw. Away draw that's good isn't it? Why do you want Carrol up front? We are playing a way that is a lot more entertaining than last season. We are going to score more than other teams mostly but sometimes thay are going to score more than us. Do you want to go back to last season and see 1 goal scored every 2 games?

 

[Barnham Seagull]

It's an average mid table squad with an inexperienced management team.

We did finish in the top 6 though !

Yes. Ulloa was not usually very pretty or effective outside the box but inside it was class.

Yes but with really what was the last through of the dice and with a team and squad which were outclassed in the play offs. We need to offer more when and if we get there and have a more balanced set up if we get there.

Think we are 2-3yrs off that now before we get there again

Maybe, but on the other hand Brentford should have scored more.

 

[Stat Brother]

Yes. Ulloa was not usually very pretty or effective outside the box but inside it was class.

It's just a shame the 2 previous managers never gave him the ball in the penalty area.
In fact they never game him any team mates in the same half.

we just let one slip through our fingers (again) and sign for Reading ... and guess who scored twice on his debut??

I think that would have been like admitting they were wrong so would never happen

 

[fat old seagull]

What a delight! I was worried the Bedwetters had emigrated.

 

[TottonSeagull]

I was at the game yesterday and really enjoyed the game (not the result) and compared to the Spanish Dullard's boring dross of last season I will take Sami's way everyday. We need to tighten up but I always felt we would get back in it yesterday. Under Garcia we would have probably got a 0 - 0 or we may of even of scored with our one shot on goal during the game to win 0 - 1 however I will take losing some games (not every week) to leave the ground having enjoyed the game too low scoring bore draws and sneaking a win with our one attack. It's still early days and I am confident Sami will get it right.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

It takes time to evolve a squad and to develop the playing style in the way that Sami is trying to. Not to mention the fact that the squad has barely been together for two weeks yet. It's going to take time for the players to get used to playing in a totally different way - what the full backs and midfielders are being asked to do isn't typically English so it will take some time for them to get used to. I am encouraged that we are scoring more goals, and as [MENTION=18713]TottonSeagull[/MENTION] says above, I would rather walk away from a game we've lost having enjoyed it than a game we've won 1-0 and been underwhelmed. I don't expect us to win every game, but it would be nice if every game could be entertaining.
