Lost 4 of the last 5

Sat Nov 03, 2012 7:27 pm

We've now lost 4 of the last 5 games away from home - that is not the form of a team looking for automatic promotion.
What is the highest amount of games that a top 2 promoted team has lost in a season? We simply cannot let this continue if we wish to stay in the top 2.

Lucky for us, the 6 teams below us are just as bad at the moment.

For me, the lack of a quality striker is going to cost us points. We badly miss Bellamy and Gestede is not the answer. Frei looks like a good addition but I hope that Malky is on the phone to every Premier League manager Monday asking if they've got anyone we can loan.

Today was always going to be tough, Bolton had a lot going for them today and I think they will be in the top 2 come the end of the season.

Just goes to prove how hard this league will be this season, alot of teams taking points off each other. Who knows maybe it could be a new low points total that wins the divsion this season

I think you could be right. I'm still confident that we will win this league, just going to have to do it the hard way! :ayatollah:

You can't ignore the fact that we were unlucky with the ref today and denied a def penalty
