A draw is 2 points dropped i'm afraid. I want a win and that should be the message sent out. If we get any less then its points lost in this division.

Fulham have been up there years with an excellent home record . Not sure why you think it would be 2 points dropped . Any away point is a good point in this league .

Any points we don't collect in this league are points dropped.

In the Championship there were so many games. For example, Hull got promoted losing 15 games last year. We ourselves lost 9. Lose 12 games (the average of that) at this level and unless you boast an extremely good win record you are flirting with relegation. We've already lost 2 games, 1/6th of those 12 games within the first 5 games of the season.

Now, we are not a side that can boss a game so its likely we will draw a lot of games too this season so that leaves our chances of winning games lower.

My prediction (unless Malky bucks up his ideas) :

15 losses
15 draws
8 wins
39 points - whether that keeps us up or not this year I do not know but thats my prediction for this season or thereabouts.

Thats almost a WDL ratio of 2:2:1 which is what we currently have. Obviously, to be true to that the 8 would have to be 7.5 but there are no half points.

I think some fans are in for a shock this season. We are not as good as some make out and if you sit back and try and soak up pressure constantly at this level with a side like ours then you will get opened up as Spurs did to us. It doesn't matter how late on it come, it come.

We need to play at teams and get at them. Scoring goals is the best form of defence and only makes their task harder. Malky should not send out the team to snatch a win. He should send a team out to win by scoring and then defending it with his ardent 4-5-1 formation and coming out with at least a draw if we do concede late on.

Yep fair play, not over analysing things at all :laughing6:

Try chilling out and enjoy your team pitting their wits against the best the land has to offer :thumbright:
