Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs? Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, January 17, 2005, 13:28:19 i think if our defence can concentrate and everybody puts in the effort we will. Problem is we've had injuries but i think we have the talent it's just the commitment that's lacking.

Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs? Post by: janaage on Monday, January 17, 2005, 13:34:30 Not a chance, we are the 2004-5 version of the 2003/04 Sheffield Wednesday, under achievers of the high order.
We can't string 3 results together, mid table certainties. Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs? Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, January 17, 2005, 13:52:54 we will neva make the play offs! yes there has been injuries but thats no exuse! we've got players like andy nicholas and grant smith and jamie slabber all struggling 2 find a regular first team place and i think if king actually put them on the pitch and not the bench we would be there or there abouts at the end. if not then its mid table 4 us

Post by: janaage on Monday, January 17, 2005, 15:43:31 That's what makes it all so frustrating, knowing that we do have to players to get us out of this league but seeing week after week the results not coming our way. Football sucks sometimes!!!

I think we have a very small chance of making the playoffs, but it would require an excellent run of results. Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs?

Harsh - he's not been picked. 3 games in a week too soon after coming back from injury, at Kings behest and he's not featured since really. Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs? Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, January 17, 2005, 17:18:10 Well, the games I've seen him play where he's been given a chance - LDV, FA Cup against Sheff Wed and a couple of others - he's a shadow of his former self, whether part of it's confidence, injury, or whatever I don't know.
I'm not saying he's not a good player, because he is and he's almost certainly a better left back than Duke but still, it's an absurd statement to make.

He's played in every LDV game so far and scored a cracker at Exeter - so watch out for him NOT being in the side at Southend. Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs? Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, January 17, 2005, 18:07:52 there's no point of paying for slabber's wages if we are not going to give the kid a chance. He might be as good as lee holmes

Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs? Post by: Boeta on Monday, January 17, 2005, 18:47:36 It just takes one good run which we're definitely capable of.

Rich saying that if x, y and z had played in all the games this season then we'd get promoted. That's absurd. I can accept that we may have conceded fewer goals and as a result picked up a few more points if Nicho was playing left-back instead of Duke, but he's not going to turn our season round singlehandedly.

Sadly I think you're correct :/ Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs? Post by: DMR on Monday, January 17, 2005, 19:03:00 I think Migs could single handedly change our season tbh

Sadly I think you're correct :/ I am mightily relieved that you weren't saying that what I said was absurd - you and I have had spats in the past so I would be nervous of ripping you up for arse paper now that you have the power :twisted: Title: Do you think we can reach the play offs?

We are only two points off the same total we had exactly 12 months back. That said we did have a game in hand and the 6th spot and final playoff position that we occupied at the time is currently at the 44 point level this season. I had actually attributed a lack of a partner for Parkin as one of the main reasons for falling behind this season. In reality we have actually scored 6 more goals this season but we have conceded 9 more the majority being at home. We arguably have a far superior defence this season to the one that started last season. The permanent addition of Ifil and O'Hanlon should have in theory plugged the gap. Surely Gurney's departure can't be the difference? The inconsistency seems to be the root of all our evils and while you can't attribute all of that to King, the constant tinkering hasn't helped at all. Changing formations, dropping players and injuries haven't helped develop any sort of stability to build on. If we get back to basics in the old 4-4-2, restore a consistent back four, get Migs back into the side and get Rory plundering a few goals until Roberts returns then we may be in with a sniff. |
