Title: Turning point?
Post by: Dare to dream! on December 20, 2014, 04:54:43 pm
Let's hope so! We've already seen how an upturn in form this time of year can change a season, first season back in the champ for example.

We've got a great opportunity now to get wins on the board Cov, Boro, Oldham, Barnsley and Notts are winnable games.

I hope Dickov sticks with 5 in midfield. I keep saying it we've got a quality midfield in this league which is better than most, let's play to our strengths. Keep the extra striker for around 60mins ish if things aren't going our way, that will give us a plan B.

Hopefully we can sign Wabara, Butler and Johnstone till the end of the season. These next few games now will decide how this season will go! Come onnn

We have these threads every time we win and every time the optimism is completely misguided. A loss on Boxing day is guaranteed unfortunately.

Don't be daft this is definitely a turning point. What do you want ffs ? An away win against a team currently in 3rd place.

There is a good team now and the balance is good.

GREAT WIN ..........................................RTID

It doesn't matter Hoola, we could go on a 10 game winning streak and folks would still predict we will lose the next!

We go into Christmas having beaten one of the best sides in the division on their own patch, with a clean sheet to boot.

I'm happy with that, bring on boxing day!

We win, we are getting promoted, we lose we are getting relegated and should sack the manager.

How can it definitely be a turning point? It's a great win, with the potential to be a turning point.

You just don't get it do you? There's a distinct difference between winning one game and winning ten on the trot. I'm happy for the win but trying to calm the masses.

I thought Wabbara was already a rovers player!!!!!!!!!!!

From memory he is/was on a short-term contract that's due to expire soon, but I'm happy to be corrected if anyone else knows differently.

You don't get it - we won!

Nothing counts towards the next game, and it has no bearing what run we've been on - we only play one at a time and the most important game is always the next one.

No one can predict the next game, which is why we go - we want to see another win but who knows.  But it is good to be able to be positive and optimistic after a win, isn't it?  That's realistic too...

Anyhow, it doesn't matter just be happy with this result

I wonder how many turning points you can have in a season, think w e have one after every away win. Only to be back to square one after the next home defeat, or poor display, or both!

A loss on Boxing Day is not guaranteed.

However, all the evidence strongly indicates there is little if any hope of a win on Boxing Day.

To remind folk (ahem) in nearly 70 league games as our manager, Dickov has only managed to put together consecutive wins on one, single, solitary occasion.

Let's see what happens. Boxing Day could be our lucky day.

Bearing in mind we now have stadium TV, who'll be showing their arse if we win on boxing day? Could be quite funny!
