I couldn't possibly take seriously the views of someone who no one will sit next to at the Amex!

So many bad results against lower clubs like home to Barnsley that have cost us but that is football.

I'm sure Reading, Wigan and Blackburn could all say the same thing.. We aren't the only club in the league to drop silly points..

eh..? look mate it's too late for all this shyte ....we have let supposedly lesser teams off and battered the better teams .....very frustrating season for the fans .....i don't think we'll make it next year either quite but once the training facility is done 15/16 we'll be up i reckon...
Which is how I saw it as well.
Case in point, Reading being held to a point at home by 8 man Yeovil. As others have said it all evens itself out
TRHK is absolutely right. Not sure why he is getting stick. I am meh as I think we simply do not warrant a play off place. I would rather we go for it next season for automatic promotion and that should be the aim. If we went up this season we would have to replace the whole squad apart from Tom, Leo and er possibly Kazenga, Rohan and Will.

At least we scored a goal. Yeovil away was 0-0 without a single shot on target. That was a distinct lack of quality.

Of course I was at the game. We didn't play well and yet if Buckley could keep his foot over the ball we may well have won it. We threw the kitchen sink at them second half but once again screwed up in front of goal. I had a problem with the quality of play in the game but not the effort.

Totally wrong I'm afraid. The effort was there, it's the composure that was missing. Too much panicking on the ball let them down against Blackpool.

And we didnt play any better against Yeovil either, but somehow we got a fluke goal. It's a season of missed opportunities.

No point in looking for excuses , otherwise you could argue we would have got the 2nd automatic promotion place last season if Ankergren and Kuszczak hadn't made those goalkeeping howlers that cost us 4 points during second half stoppage time.

Like who? Pearson? Who many Leicester fans wanted shot of, when they slumped and finished 6th and then died in the play offs last season. Dyche? Who many Burnley fans were not happy with in his first season, finishing mid table. Or maybe you want Gus back?
I am not going to get upset over a draw with Blackpool, yeah, we could have played better but I have seen us play a lot worse and Dobbies equaliser was a bit special.
Fed up of fans thinking they have all the answers and that Oscar is no good if we don't get the result or performance they expect, as if other managers never lose or draw to supposedly weaker opposition.
Pearson must be shit to let Brighton score 7 against Leicester this season, when Brighton usually only score once a game.
Precisely. What about the home defeat to Barnsley? If we fail to make the play-offs you may as well blame that as the one result that cost us. As you say it's 46 games, they all count the same, and over the course of a season you will see all sorts of results and all sorts of performances (playing well and losing, playing badly and winning, freak goals, crap decisions, individual mistakes, etc).
It's a bit like last year where some people said, in all seriousness, that if we'd beaten Hull on the opening day then we'd have been promoted and not them. You can't look at single results in isolation.

Absolutely bang on. The armchair managers on here are doing my head in.

People on here totally over analyse this division. Its by and large a league of poor football, with the most successful teams seemingly going back to basics with 2 wingers who can run and two strikers who can score tap ins. The rest of the divisions teams threaten to do well for 3/4 games, then fail to win the next 4. I know I have simplified it horrifically yet the teams going up the last two seasons, i.e. Leicester, Burnley and Palace have all conformed to the aforementioned way of playing.
Next season I HOPE we stick 2 wingers on for the most part and replace Lingard with a similar player as with a better understanding of Oscar's tactics, I would hope this works well. Seems to have been the same story for 3 seasons now where we could have easily claimed 15 more points through going 10/20% more attack minded.
