Proven right on two points

Sat Dec 23, 2017 7:29 pm

1) Wolves would run away with the title.

2) should have signed Ledley.

With that in mind I’ll make another.

We will bounce back and will be top 6 which (let’s be honest) not many expected. I even think we will be top 4.

:lol: We are doing way better than I expected, so why should Ledley of been signed? We are doing better than derby so he hasn't done maccydee for them :lol:

Congrats on first point, I don't think many predicated that even after them spending £40m+ and god knows what in wages in the summer.

As for second point....how have you been proven right?

We lost an away game in the championship, no need for all the drama. Maybe if we don't pick up points in the next5-6 games, then you can predicting bouncing back

Derbys form since signing him is a lot better than ours. We won our first five games remember Derby started awfully.

Ledley should have been signed to save us from having to play Halford.

Don't see how you have been proven right on any point yet. We are half way through the season, anything can happen. I think a lot of people forecast Wolves for the title, and they may walk away with it. However, plenty of time for things not to run to plan.
As far as Ledley is concerned, I am glad he is not here. We have lost just 4 times out of 23 games, so I don't see how you have been proven right with Ledley. You can argue with his lack of pace, we may have had fewer points with him than without him.
I will be happy if we can finish anywhere in the top 6, I don't think for one minute we will be top two at the end of the season.

I totally agree about not panicking about a loss. Sadly, our midfield is looking threadbare now. Halford is not very good.

When I said Wolves would run away with the title I was told I was wrong.

Proven right by the fact we had to pick Greg Halford in midfield. Threadbare.

We were 7 points ahead of Derby when Ledley signed for them. We are now 3 points ahead of them.

Says to me he has done a bit for them.

They were 15th as well now they are 3rd.

Wolves winning the league is probably the most obvious prediction of the year though


Ledley isn’t good enough for us

So you are proven right that we are short in midfield. How does that prove anything about Ledley being the midfielder we needed. Plenty of other players out there, nearly all with far more pace than Ledley.

Predicting wolves to win league is like knowing loto numbers in advance! As for ledley he would not fit into NW style of play so regardless how good you think he is its irrelevant argument as he's not here,and your comparison about points derby got since his arrival is pointless as we have lost 8 players injured in that time so expect to drop points.. :thumbup:

Well done you guessed the team that's spent the most in the league would get promoted, as every other fan and pundit did.

1. Nothing to be a smart arse over.

3. Hope your wrong and we are top 2.

What's Halford got to do with the points you made? Wolves and ledley? Ledley won't fit in because he is slow and would not last the tempo that NW plays his teams at! Or do you think ledley hasn't lost any pace? Derby certainly don't play up and in your face football so it probably suites ledleys situation better, as for Halford if that bad why as he been mom several times Inc today? :thumbup:

I didn’t rule out top 2. Think we will get there tbh. I trust Warnock.

Ledley has similar pace to Gunnarrson and definitely more than Halford.

Just because Ledley rarely has to run fast (due to good positioning mainly) doesn’t mean he doesn’t have pace.

Think you are right ! What started out as two points in question from him Halford & wolves? is turning out to include all city players just to try prove his own point & continue the argument typical Roath trait? NW obviously didn't rate ledley or he would have signed him wonder why? :roll:

In all seriousness Neil, you're now being massively disrespectful to the players who have taken us to second place in the Championship to date with your obsession of the local lad :(

One man doth not make a team and Joe Ledley is no better than a number of (when fit) players we have at our disposal and your hero worship of the guy is a little narcissistic, as OriginalGrangeEndBlue points out but I guess it makes for interesting debate! ;)

Please look at my posts as whole. I’m not disrespectful to the players in any way. I’m proud of them and how they have performed with lots of injuries to the squad. I have defended them from fickle people on other posts.

My point is, midfield was one spot where we were severely lacking as in a holding midfielder to play if Gunnarrson was injured. Ledley (in my opinion) would be our third best midfielder had he signed and we made a mistake by not signing him.

I think OGEB is saying I’m narcissistic because I’m pointing out that I think I have now been proven right as we head into the busy Xmas period playing Halford or our best centre back in midfield because we haven’t got the depth.
