The top Tryo sides at under 11 stay top until under 15. The reality check is , i hate to have to say, that some of them are not going to get better, they have been drafted into the side because there is no one else not because they are good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

um pahars Posted 5 October, 2008 Share Posted 5 October, 2008 and have not had to play 3 out of the top five or six clubs in the league. And on the other side of the coin, the three wins we have managed have been against teams in the early season relegation battle!!! We also failed to beat another at home who currently reside in the relegation places and we've also played a further three games teams who are in our "comparative" position. The season is not all over by any means, btu 10 games starts to give you a feel and in that period you would normally have played a range of teams.

um pahars Posted 5 October, 2008 Share Posted 5 October, 2008 Time to get over it and support the Club. The problem is that whilst many will still support the Club come what may (and many of them post on here), there are very many who will not turn up having witnessed another 4-1 drubbing on the box. Results, and dare I say peformances, aren't enticing people back and Lowe & Wilde don't engender that "We're all in this together" spirit, so I think our support will suffer. We can always say told you so, if it all goes pear shaped. But that will not be a crumb of comfort to anyone, because that will mean the Club we love will really be in the mire. I don't think there will any time for crowing or shouting told you so, because we will be more concerned with our Club being thrown to the Wolves.

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 5 October, 2008 Share Posted 5 October, 2008 Do you think the clubs situation would have been different if Rupert appointed Pearson with the current situation we are in. Who really knows where we would be now IF NP had not been moved on and IF the RFDH had been able to not meddle and IF a few of the players who left had stayed? I just have a gut feeling that with NP here and AD in the defence there may have been better defensive displays. Hey ho, it looks like Coventry and Leicester may enjoy a fairly 'local' derby next season, but then we could also, at places like Swindon,Yeovil and even Bournemouth as long as they can overcome their points deduction and get promoted.

badgerx16 Posted 5 October, 2008 Share Posted 5 October, 2008 Basically the fans are between a rock and a hard place: Stay away to show their displeasure of Rupes and the 'total football' experiment and kill the club's finances, or attend the games and give tacit support to the Board.

And all of those sides spent weeks and weeks in the top three or four of that division. Man City got promoted back into the second tier at first time of asking. Too many people are acting like Leicester have already been promoted. It's bloody October. Have a look back - Forest and Wednesday were in the top three or four in that division week in, week out for every season they were down there. People making out Pearson has achieved some footballing miracle by taking the richest club by a country mile in its division to the top of the league. Give him a peanut. Pearson won a grand total of three games at SMS. He was fine for us, I wanted him to stay because he deserved the chance. But for ****'s sake he is not the god some people are making him out to be. And as for the usual drivel from Saint Richmond.....Go on, give us another ranting lecture about "football shouldn't be about evil business" and then in the same breath salivate over how fantastic SISU are.

Simply put, whilst these two are at the helm, the club is f**ked. Why didnt Lowe push Cowen to the forefront and stay in the shadows, unobtrusively, with Wilde ? Maybe his "plans" would have gained wider acceptance then. But no, it's just a big f**king ego trip for them, isnt it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look back - Forest and Wednesday were in the top three or four in that division week in, week out for every season they were down there. People making out Pearson has achieved some footballing miracle by taking the richest club by a country mile in its division to the top of the league. Give him a peanut. Pearson won a grand total of three games at SMS. He was fine for us, I wanted him to stay because he deserved the chance. But for ****'s sake he is not the god some people are making him out to be. And as for the usual drivel from Saint Richmond.....Go on, give us another ranting lecture about "football shouldn't be about evil business" and then in the same breath salivate over how fantastic SISU are. Yes, that SISU. The venture capitalists. Full of ****. :rolleyes: good post cb telling how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 5 October, 2008 Share Posted 5 October, 2008 yep hes been waiting till we lost to post that message.4 games unbeaten before that but don,t let that get in the way. And arsehole lucky in all of them,heavily reliant on Davis. When we get found out, lose our luck and Davis cannot manage any miracle saves we get stuffed. We are not improving we are stumbling along with bind hope and over optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, everything seems to be going to your wonderful "I know everything" plan then Rupert ........... ??? And 4 points from 5th place.......devil's advocate and all that.
