they didn't even come close in the last ten minutes. i went with three wednesday fans, all shook my hand after and said "you were the better team"
I also liked the fact that KO was putting his weight about a bit yesterday. Couple of good solid challenges into the CFs early on (even if they were given as fouls) to let them know they were in a game.
Also - some of the fan's criticisms were acted upon - eg. Spillane at right back, KOC in midfield, dropping Bean...

Do you say that to those around you or to the players on the pitch that swear non stop?? AS has every right to use expletives as you or I. Get a grip.

rolleyes Southampton have discovered to our cost. Then look at the great start Carlisle have made and suddenly these defeats start to become a little more understandable.
You lot never cease to amaze me. Let's suppose two things happened slightly differently yesterday. Let's imagine their goalkeeper's arms were three inches longer and he'd tipped Charlie's shot round the post. From the resulting corner, Wednesday broke away and scored a lucky goal.
The tone of this thread would have been a bit different then. It would have been 'three home defeats in a row', 'not good enough', 'Scott Out', 'all those missed chances - should have been 4-0', 'get a decent striker'.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't come on here and have a good old gloat at a great performance and result, just that one or two should take it a bit easier when we don't get the breaks.
Rochdale came down and whipped us and most were in shock. I wasn't, I knew they'd be a handful and that it was far from the home banker many had assumed. I thought before the season started, when everyone was tipping them to go straight back down that they were wrong. They'll give a good account of themselves as we and those nailed on Championship certs
I reckon we have a very good team starting to come together. But so do many of the other twenty three. I don't think we have a devine right to expect to win every week or get promoted. We had some fantastic squads in the eighties and the nineties (far better than this one in my opinion) and only ever managed it once then. So many teams in this division are so close together ability wise and I think luck, more than anything will determine who goes up this year :shrug:.
Indeed. But my point is that it's a fine line that seperates a perceived great performance and 'not good enough' :shrug:.Non entity, it never happened. We won and we all enjoyed it cnd off.
If you lose playing well then so be it, it's happened loads of times but the last year has seen some horror losses where we turn up and leave very quietly.
NB - A 'losing the right way' match reaction thread along the lines of 'we gave it our best shot, lads played their hearts out, wasn't to be etc.' is an extremely rare thing!I don't agree, you can lose in the right way.
