1 loss in 4 games

Sat Aug 20, 2016 5:00 pm

After a change of manager and a complete change of tactic losing just 1 In 4 league games isn't bad going

We are still Learning a new tactic more or less all our players have probably never played this formation

Let's keep building we will keep improving and getting better week by week

All the 'lucky to avoid relegation' is absolute nonsense

All clubs In this division are like us all have ambition of play offs before the season , so it's not all about us doing well our fans are in crisis when we lose ,tough league and we are adapting our play keep it going lads

And were 1 point off the play offs. 2 points off 1st place...

Are you seriously worried about our league position after 3 games!?... You and the other flappers make this forum quite fun to read!

We are 5 points off 1st place, but like you say that means nothing at this stage. I don't pay much attention to tables until around 10 games into the season.

The original poster was trying to make out that with only 1 loss in 4 games we have made a good start.

Of course you can take that view but the headline could have also been 1 win in 5 games (including the League Cup)with only two goals scored by City players which is also factually correct but anyone who pointed that out as a thread would be attacked as being negative!

The point is that after so few games it's not worth reading anything much into what's happened so far, either positively or negatively but the purpose of the original post was to suggest that 1 loss in 4 games is an indication that we've been doing well at the start of the season and there is certainly an opposite point of view.

Anyone who makes any sort of comment that's not unquestionably supportive of the club or the players, justified or not, is constantly criticised as being negative, as if only positive viewpoints are worthy of being posted.

I agree it isn't the best start but nothing to worry about just yet.

No the only ones that get constantly criticised are are who constantly criticise the club and see everything as negative. You and a few others just seem to enjoy drawing negatives out of everything.

Believe me I would love nothing better than to be constantly positive about everything that goes on at the club and, as some people do on here, turn a blind eye to what is going on in front of them both on and off the pitch, believing that everything will turn out fine no matter what.

Good for them - It's good to be positive. However, if a glass has liquid in it up to halfway, it is both half empty and half full. Both facts are correct - neither is wrong. There are two sides to every story and it just seems that anybody who posts anything on here that's not unequivocally supportive of the club, the management or the players immediately gets labelled as being constantly negative.

I agree it isn't the best start and there's nothing to worry about yet - I'm certain we won't be relegated but some aspects of the way we are playing and the lack of creativity in the team cause me concerns - is that "negative"? Maybe I should just only post something along the lines of the following:-

Great result on Saturday lads - Fulham is a really really tough place to get a point as they hardly conceded any goals last season - that point could make all the difference between us being first and second at the end of the season.

We were unlucky as Fulham were swept away by our free flowing football and we should really have won 5-0, like we should every week really.

Only a matter of time before Fred and Ken start banging them in and I reckon they'll score 25 each this season and when Saadi comes back from loan in January he'll score 20 goals before the end of the season.

Is that "positive" enough for you? :thumbup:

I think that's a perfectly reasonable answer David. Sometimes it pays to take a step back and try and look at things from a neutral point of view, and it's good to hear different opinions, even if they are the opposite to somebody elses. Personally, I ignore the league tables at this stage of the season as I think it's too early to assess acurately which direction we are heading in. After 10 games we may be top 3 or bottom 3. A lot will depend on who Trollope is able to bring in over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you and I agree with what you say about the tables - it's just too soon to form any judgement either way. We will certainly have a better idea of where the season could be heading when the window closes.

As expected really pre season - lower to mid table club.

2 own goals and 2 out of this world strikes.

It's not really setting the world alight but did we really expect anything else when there is no pace in the team except Harris & John and no striker worth his salt?
