RDZ managed us for 70 games. First season...32 games 52 points. Second season 38 games 48 points. Total....100 points. Average 1.43.
( Let me know how you make that 1.7 )
Hurzeler is doing ok.
The hangover/love-in that still lingers post RDZ and is preventing many fans from accepting and believing in FH is clouding the facts. RDZ dropped 14 points in his second season and got an easy ride because of the previous season. The squad had lost all momentum and was...
9th for goals scored, 15th for goals conceded tells you the story of this season. An unsettled back line almost all season, largely due to injuries has undone a lot of good offensive work.
Conceding two goals or more in a game 15 times and only winning one of those games is a real pointer, as is...
When the club is targetting top half of the PL and spending huge amounts of money to try and achieve that and more, then fans expectations naturally rise as well. I expect a certain level of performance depending on our status in the pyramid. I expect my manager to understand the opposition and...
Quite.
Been at the Goldstone with 5000. Been at the Goldstone with 35000. Was at Withdean with 4000 when results were poor. A lot of the time there, it was very difficult to get a ticket.
No. Not a whiney bitch, just a frustrated and disappointed fan who has watched a lot of football over 60 years, at all levels and expects a certain level of performance from a team sitting in the top half of the toughest league in the world.
We have had our ups and downs this season, short...
For the benefit of the armchair experts who are out in force tonight calling it overeaction, let me spell out what our performance today was really like.
I didn't think that our level could drop anymore from the previous four performances. Sadly, it did. In fact, it is now getting worse, game by...
I think the majority of fans went yesterday looking for a win to get us to 50pts and European fringe. There was an expectation level. The fans hadn't given up.
Yesterday...it felt like the players had. Hence the reaction.
So there is football outside the PL. Not only that, I have now discovered that football was played before 1992.
I need to do more research but I wonder if any records exist?
It's the hope that kills you.....I wanted so much to beat Forest. Maybe too much...and maybe it got to the players as well. It was within reach. That dream. So close. Villa came too soon. Tired minds and legs. Never mind...put it right at Selhurst. Another body blow. Poor performance getting...
The Cup defeat has knocked the stuffing out of us. That coupled with losing Rutter and Webster. The last two games we have lost our edge. Concentration levels have dropped. We have become loose and sloppy again. Overplaying around the box.
Mitoma for all his ability on the ball was woeful today...
We know what the process is. It's been in place a long time...since before FH got here.
He is a young man who has rather surprisingly been given a pretty big job in the biggest league in the world.
We have allowed him a season to cut his teeth..to learn...to experiment...to make mistakes. From...
Looks rather naive at times. Pretty understandable when he has come from the equivalent of League One. Massive gamble which has resulted in an experimental season of inconsistency. Seems to get them motivated for mini runs then we dip again.
Injuries have played a part but we have so many team...
