Strange days

I can’t get out of my head how preposterous it all seems, to be 2nd in the league after 28 games, 4 points clear of 3rd, and there is an air of desperation seemingly from a lot of fans.

I completely get the fact that we were 11 pts clear of 3rd, we are on a bad run of form, there are no January signings, and it all looks like going the same way as last year.

But, let’s face the facts, we still are in it!! This can happen. Surely we’d rather be 2nd than 13th? We need to try and lift the doom and gloom and take a step back and actually look at the league table. It’s a way better scenario than the previous 15 years I’ve looked at it.

Keep the faith people.

Stop looking at snapshot ie second, clear by x amount of points, look at that and the trend.

agree.... snapshots give you an idea of improvement through out the years.. however its not improvement we're after, as such, its success for a change..

agree with Milky too - hope you are well big Milks

I've said for some time it's a continuation of last
season from the inconsistency after that Xmas and
New Year...I do hope I'm wrong and the form picks
up leading to promotion.
There are so many similarities to last season from
great beginnings to players losing form in the 2nd
half of season.

Good runs bad runs, every team goes through them, so, we went with West Brom and got an 11 or so point lead, that was a good run!..

Now for the crap questions, teams are catching us up, so, did we get so far ahead because we had a good run?..

Or was it because those now finding their form had bad runs?..

Yep form plays a lot with outcomes, but consistency plays just as big a part, I don't think these teams that are finding their form now will keep it going till the end of season, and we could just as easy find that form again!..

And the old players being tired bit, I've said it before and I'll say it again, any player that cant play at least 2 games a week shouldn't be earning the money they do, because there are normal working men and women out there working harder for less!..

I know, the old that's why we need fresh is coming!..

Are they really fresh?.....because they'll have/should have been worked just as hard at wherever they come from!..

Good form bad form, its down to the players to find their best!..

NJS.. what do you think the cause of this is?

I think probably the number of games played up until
the Xmas and New Year period, the weight of
expectations, toll of tiredness and injuries on a small
squad...they would recover form eventually with some
fresh players, better than the present players, but the
financial aspect comes into play then, can we afford
a couple of better players?

we have seen this before quite a few times groundhog day haunts us all

NJS.. totally agree with that 👍... I honestly think the next week or so will be the cause of promotion or not..

Rested up properly using the 10 day game gap as a mental breather.. and proper recovery in terms of physical rest, added with 2 first team players would see us promoted easily, give or take the usual Leeds moments..

Don’t, and we’ll fail in the play offs again

Milky.. did you convince your wife’s friend to take a week off btw?

It’s currently my week off.. enjoyed not carting around cloths and prepping food so far.. but was lying in the bath last night and thought maybe Ill go Thursday.. then remembered my preaching and thought no, keep strong and be lazy till Monday 😂😂..
