It's not that weird, it happens quite a lot if the linesman at the other end (well half way line at that stage), but same side, thinks it's close from his point of view.

I’m hoping Stewart will give us a presence and target in the box so things don’t have to be so precise. Great movement in the box by Edozie and Adams for Frasers goal yesterday by the way.

Unbeaten in 4 but oh so easy.

Are you arguing Martin hasn’t had a visible effect on us? Because I see a completely different team to previous years.

Even if we go up I’d be surprised if KWP and Alcaraz stay fwiw.

I’ve been at those forums where people have spoke and asked questions politely ‘off the cuff’ and been answered. It’s organised to bring structure but if you really have something to say it can be said.

This is what makes me laugh the most. This guy for example wanted more challenging questions asked but obviously was too in awe to ask them himself.

Are we really only praising comfortable wins now then? 😂 Wins wiped from history now. Also, Sheffield United also went up in this league last year. They lost 11. It’s funny that Burnley are held up as the barometer for success in this league when they had an exceptional season that even they probably couldn’t reach again. It’s a long season, a tight one, the teams the finish well are the teams that get success in this league. Let it play out a bit. I’ve no idea what the magic number we can make conclusions is, but it’s not 11.

I think my point that anyone who states ‘best players, best positions’ as a legit tactic shouldn’t be taken seriously dealt with the rest of your post.

I think by time they mean not 11 games. They’ve all stated they want promotion as quickly as possible. Not sure anyone doubts that not being promoted would be disappointing but the season is long.

Ah yes, the age old don’t ever play inverted full backs after a bad result fable.

You’re really asking me if other clubs play inverted full backs, other clubs set up at corners like we do and other clubs play a high press and get it wrong sometimes? I don’t think the answers to those are hard to find, but that might be because I have an agenda you’re right.

If you honestly think we’re doing something that no other team has done before because you’ve seen us try and keep the ball a bit then your probably not best placed to provide a ‘best players, best positions, not some fairy tippy tap bollox’ solution.

Don’t think it was an invite thing so probably because those same people go out of their way to get tickets.

A managers style isn’t the only thing that dictates an outcome though. It’s not a case of ‘my style is better than yours so I win’.

Interesting that he was considered to be playing well at a time when he was actually not starting games. Anyway, he’s simply an inconsistent player who goes through good spells and bad ones. Found it weird that fans were so desperate to keep him in the summer personally and even weirder they considered him to be a guaranteed goal scorer at this level when he’s only ever been that once in his career. Thankfully the club signed another striker too. Clearly wanted out in the summer but couldn’t get the move but no malice towards him but don’t believe it affected his performances because he’s simply always been like this.

Maybe. But on the basis the changing a manager quickly hasn't really worked out for us either in the recent past, maybe we should just let this one play out and see what happens.

The idea that we've got a quality squad and should be just winning games in this league immediately despite having a squad that has consistently been losing games for 3 years feel pretty entitled to me. That's not even including the fact that we've seen off 2 managers and some want a third gone all in under a year.

Just incredible. Such entitlement and stupidity.

Having a proper striker who is a presence and threat in the box would help. We haven't had that for a long while. Adams won 1 header in the box today maybe and it lead to a goal, having someone who can compete more would really help open up different threats.

He said that about the second half, not first, when we gave up a lot of possession and looked even worse than today.

Those two teams played a lot higher and a proactive game themselves. Rotherham made a sub after 30 minutes to go 5 at the back and concede any attempts to have any possession and retreated because they realised they weren't competing. Once the space has gone there's nothing to go fast and direct into and we have to carve out chances instead. We did that and their keeper played well. It happens.

Yes, either that or just an acceptance that A) it's early and things won't be perfect B) 7 points in a week is pretty good considering not one of you probably thought we'd get that a week ago and C) the goalkeeper today was the only thing stopping us getting 9

This is absolutely everything wrong with people in this thread by the way. Not only did we previously have a manager who wanted to do this but got hounded for many reasons including his shit style of football but also the idea that these incredibly basic statements make everything fine.
