I would rather we not be so good, because the games are a lot more boring with us being so much better than the opposition.

Something I put on another forum, which is a bit more coherent

I'm looking forward to cheltenham, that should be a good tussle. Top of the table clash. But other than Torquay their's nothing more in the fixture list which causes any reason for concern - Mid table nobodies with nothing to play for or the dregs of the division. That's not to say we won't slip up - we almost certainly will. We've not really been completely 'on song' since the crawley game, and have perhaps been fortunate to win some of the games we have (shrewsbury in particular).

But we have been winning. Theirs an expectation around the county ground that we should win each game. It's good, it's healthy and I know it's a lot more enjoyable than the alternative (See - Last season). But, for me at least, some of the fun is taken out of it when we're so blatantly better than everybody else in the division.

It's not wrong to think that?

Nah that's pretty much how I feel. Said to my mate before the game last night "oh it'll be another 2-0 routine win" and semi jokingly added "it's getting kind of boring" but after last season I will gladly take this alternative.

I don't go as much as you lot but compared this to last season. Complete chalk and cheese scenario.

That said, we are becoming the dominant team of this division, and the routine home wins with a clean sheet are becoming the norm (however, I still expect us to lose to rabble like D&R at home!)

Definitely see what you guys are getting at, but don't 100% agree. Yes there have been a number of games of the 'routine home win to nil' variety recently, but we've also had to come from behind against Shrews, and hang on to slender leads under pressure at the end against Rotherham and Hereford. None of those games would I have called boring. And whilst Southend away and Crawley at home ended up being won by comfortable scorelines, they were still enjoyable games - due mainly to external factors (league table and opposition managers specifically).

Well i am hoping it is just as boring next season tbh

I've loved this season. I can't think of a season I've enjoyed more. There's nothing more fun than winning, apart from winning convincingly and/or by huge margins.

I know where you're coming from in that it's not always a challenge, but I don't find that boring. For me I absolutely fucking hate losing on every level and with my every fibre, so give me a simple league anytime.

I truly don't get this at all.

There is nothing boring about a routine 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0 win.

Have a word with yourselves.

I guess I must be too old school in that I actually enjoy us winning, ah well each to their own I guess.

I agree with bazza. Give me a comfortable league promotion over a nail biting last day one any time.

Not that we are there yet.

Jesus, this morning we've had "I think I'm falling out of love with it at the moment" and now we have this season is boring !

Some folk are never happy !

Glad to read the last five or so posts in this thread as I was beginning to think I had stumbled upon the wrong forum.

I can't understand anyone saying it is boring.
I just wish I could get to a few matches, in order to be "bored".
Puzzling indeed.

Not true, some folk are happy when they're whinging.

I notice Bart hasn't reared his ugly head on here for a while.

Great result and performance last night, but I kind of understand (although I don't necessarily agree) that some of our recent home games have been very one sided and not too competitive, especially last night, but that's only because we're far too good for a lot of teams in this division.
The goal was to get promoted back to League One, we're doing it in style.
I'd happy take a one-sided 4-0 drubbing over an action packed, end-to-end 3-3 draw, but I guess that goes without saying :)

I go into every game thinking we should win it, but I'm always kind of expecting a slip up. Until we net the first goal I feel nervous. Winning's like smoking, before you start your stress levels are low, once you've start you have to do it again and again to get the levels back down.

When it comes to the off the field antics, this is by far one of the most entertaining seasons I have known.

Where's Gazzza, Pauld, and Mex these days? Has Mex got a season ticket at the Amex or the Broadwood Stadium?

Mex is about.  Sometimes pops up on here.

Yet again people find something to moan about. We're winning every week, what a shame.  :cry:

If only every season was as boring as this!  ::)

Wonder if Real Madrid fans are also bored, crap season even Barca can't get near us,

hello!!! been to crawley away and southend away, hoping to do aldershot away but currently unemployed, like fuck i'm going to amex or broadfield you cheeky cunt.

Boring? What the fuck are you guys on? It's bloody brilliant. Winning is certainly not boring.

 Think that young scamp Dave is having a bit of a wind up....we're still some way short where we were in Macari's epic Div 4 season. Then in the last season of 4 up without PO's, we were promoted with 8 games to go and championes with 5 to go.

 It's going to a lot more squeaky bum this time

I don't think it will be that bad TBH, I remember never being so nervous before a game when we won the Championship away at Mansfield that season.

The home game in April against Chester was one of the most memorable games I have ever seen winning 4-2 after being 2-1 down at H/T.

I think we will have promotion sealed by the 1st week of Aprl this season as well. But that is just my opinion.

My first game back for the easter holidays is hopefully going to be Brizol Rovers assuming I can leave Plymouth in the morning, I hope we can secure promotion then (if it's even possible. :D)

If anythings boring its some of our fans being miserable fuckers.  :D

Cant beat watching a team on the rampage.

Can I just say, it's not the situation we're in which is boring. It's the non-contests which bore me, and there's been a few of them this season.

The 2 4 nils have been pretty dull 4 nils.  Against Bradford earlier this season was the same as last night, just eased to victory with no problems without being outstanding.

Barnet

Winning becomes habit and makes the weekend.

Don't care if its boring........Just think back to last season.
Listening to Paolo has put the smile back into football for me.
We are not "shy" as much as we used to be. ;)

but sometimes we start off shy in a bad moment and then we have a lot of good moments.

Thats the badger.

So dull I could even remember who they were.

Anyone who thinks this season is boring is a cunt of the highest order and wants a good fucking kicking.






FACT!

Anyone who says FACT when something is not a fact is a cunt of the highest order.

There's been a few games that have been a bit boring. Generally it's been the best season for over ten yearsl

Oh i do hope we don't win 4-0 on saturday, it might be a bit "boring".

Come on people, have a look at yourselves. Undoubtedly the best season for many a year.

Could you imaging how boring a 6-0 win would be?

Already nodding off just thinking about it.

Anything less than 5 0 wont be good enough :D

Of course it's the best season, winning is fucking great and I wouldn't change this season for any other I've experienced as a Town fan.

I think it's the manner of the vast majority of our home wins this season. 2nd gear, barely any scares, couple of goals, see out the game whilst laughing at the ineptitude of the opposition. None of it stops me celebrating the opening goal like a loon though.

Even those 'boring' games had loads riding on them. It's been very close at the top of the league and we weren't even in the autos that long ago.

In any game you're just a mad 5 minutes away from fucking up completely.

Last Saturday for example...
