What does PMA mean

[TOMOGP]

Right this is a positive negative thread PMA Positive Mental Attitude right

Is PMA as soon as you are one up saying what we have we hold (but cant)

is PMA being defensive, it appears from the way we play it is one of those

but to me PMA is what Mr Allen delighted me with the day he started we defend with 11 and attack with 11

As has been said for many years attack is the best form of defense or in my view PMA

We will win next week and Colchester will lose.
Championship here we come.

Put Kev up front as a striker and Junior Lewis in the side and we'll win 2-1.Mystic Meg.

it's a good idea
kevin o'connor is as good a striker as any that we have available
and would run himself into the ground to find a goal

 

[wanderer paul]

Put Kev up front as a striker and Junior Lewis in the side and we'll win 2-1.Mystic Meg.

kev's a good full back now, he never cut it as a forward.

we need this team to go to Bournemouth and win !!
Nelson, K O'C, Framps, Turner, Sodje
Rhodes, Tabb, Lewis, Tillen
Gayle, Rankin (no other forwards to choose from so a limited choice really!)
subs. Pratley, Ide, Peters, Hutch, Brooker

no sub keepr. go for broke. if we're not winning and Colchester losing then stick on Ide for Framps, Peters for Rankin, Pratley for Lewis.
Stick Gayle at CB with Turner and K O'C at the back.
Midfield of Rhodes Pratley Tillen
Forward line Ide, Peters, Sodje (!!!) Tabb

nothing to lose !!!

PMA is MA's bullshite !!

There's no more PMA left in anybody after today !!

He certainly would. It would take him all day though.

There's a reason Kev isn't playing up front for us. He doesn't cut the mustard. A great RB, not a great CF.

Maybe worth throwing Rhodesy in, still not a shade of the player he was before the injury, but bloody fast.

actually i'm feeling quite positive so there!

and PMA is about looking on the bright side and the possibility of still going up through the play offs

we could have lost today had porter not missed an open goal

Can I have some of what you're smoking please?

 

[flowerpower bee]

wish i had your confidence mate! we'll be luck to get past swansea and even make it to the final to be honest

over two legs, without owusu and tabb we are going to struggle to get past any of the other play-off candidates
but in a single one off game
and with tabb back i actually believe we would have an excellent chance
if only on the basis that we cannot surely give another play off final non-performance

 

[Wise old Bee]

I just think that there is one more shock in store this season and well, I suppose it could be next Saturday. That's how we do things here. We went into the 97 play-off on a run of poor results then took Bristol apart which got us all optimistic, then in the final Never underestimate this club's ability to turn things arse-about-face which is as far as my PMA goes. The fat lady hasn't even dusted off this season's songsheet yet.

 

[BoroBee]

PMA is about raising expectations to such an extent that we are all disappointed that we will probably ONLY make the play-offs. That's pretty good progress in my book - cast your minds back to the Downes era.

 

[Ace Face]

Sorry for the moment of madness here.

But I am sure that Wally would say " If I had anything like Allens £1.3m a year instead of my £700k, I could have brought in the players I wanted. My coaching skills have been fully recognised by Premiership Reading, by them offering me a new contract "

I don`t want Wally back, but he has a point. He had to play kids and loans.

For me, PMA is about being positive about dissappointment.

 

[Sweepy]

He certainly would. It would take him all day though.

There's a reason Kev isn't playing up front for us. He doesn't cut the mustard. A great RB, not a great CF.

It's hard to say, to be honest. Since Kev last played up front for the bees, he has improved as a player beyond all expectations.

I only wish we had some cloning machine to make another 10 like him. (Yes, I'll have him in goal as well!)

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Doesn't mean a reliable, effective forward pairing

Here's a good 'un. An 8 game unbeaten run got us promoted in 1992. We are unbeaten in 7 games.

I'm wishing Bournemouth game was tomorrow, can't ****ing wait!! I'll be daydreaming at school all next week and not doing coursework working out tactics

COME ON YOU BEES LETS DO IT THIS YEAR

 

[Jimbee]

Answer to Q2 in our divsion is that both Wigan and Crewe went up with a better away record.

The last time we were better away is probably sometime in the 80's when I seem to remember us having one excellent away season.

 

[Ronan]

Look where Wigan headed and look where Crewe headed The results are inconclusive

Did we not have an exceptional away record in 96/97, when we couldn't win or score at home from February onwards :scratch:

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Our record in 96/97 according to www.soccerbase.com:

Brentford 46 8 11 4 26 22 12 3 8 30 21 74 56.0 +13

8 wins at home, 12 away. 35 points at home, 39 away

That was a good season under Fred Callaghan and Chopper Harris. Much of our away success was down to Terry Hurlock when PMA stood for Prolonged Mental Aggression. :mad1: :box:

Ermm....we did win the last six in '92 though. As opposed to constantly being unable to beat teams in the bottom six.

Not sure. I think Reading have recognised that he's a coach not a manager.

Sorry but Wally Downes was a good coach at Brentford under Coppell and is still a good coach. However, he was a GOD AWFUL manager... His style of football was appalling, far, far worse than some of the worst stuff MA's come up with.. You can say all you like about being able to bring in players but Wally stated that he was more than happy with his midfield of Hutch and Jay Smith and proved himself a very poor judge of player. We can complain about MA's tactics at times but Wally didnt have any at all other than get the ball up front as quickly as possible.. Wally could have had 2m a year to spend, we'd have still ended up going down if we hadnt ditched him.....

 

[jmcp]

You Wally Sympathaisers are having a laugh. If it was all about the budget how come as soon as Martin came in with the same set of players wally had we played far better and stayed up? For a start Wally never played Jay Tabb cos he was small, what a idiot that man was.

PMA, I have had bucket loads, look at some of my previous posts, but having had our hopes dashed in the last minute again what do you expect, joy?

Having supported Brentford for 35 years I have had more lows than highs cheering The Bees and once in a while you do feel on a downer, and what is written is what you really feel at the time.

I don't complain about travelling the 130 mile round trip to home games plus what I travel to away games and I don't expect medals for doing so. There are plenty of other fans that do a lot more than me.

I will still be at Bournemouth on Saturday giving my all to get behind the team and cheering them to the 3 points that I hope might be enough to gain us automatic promotion.

Good man mk1965. I was a crushed as anyone on Saturday but what are you gonna do? Just get back up and in there after them!!!

I would love to be there but I don't have the bus fare from San Francisco. 35 years is a good long spell and I began my bitter-sweet love affair with Brentford at Griffin Park in 1947. They were relegated that year but I didn't read the writing on the wall. My brother took up with Chelsea and my sister with Queens Park Rangers.

Cheers again! Up the Bees!!!
