Agreed it’s another really poor performance masked by Billy Sharp doing what Billy Sharp does best. McCann did say he had a team that will go to the very end and that was proven today. A couple of new faces and a win on Saturday could really kickstart the season.

We’re sat in 2nd, the season doesn’t need kickstarting
How many threads do you wanna post on til you realise the performances won’t keep us the? Happy clapper.

You keep saying that, but we’ve got 7 points from 4 games over Xmas.
You keeping hoping it won’t keep us there and let’s just wait and see, we’re nowhere near as bad as you’re making out, nowhere near

Why on earth would I hope we don't stay where we are? Just because we disagree does not mean I want us to fail. You are actually more ridiculous than I thought you were. The fact is we are very likely to not be in the top 3 IF performances remain as they have been for quite some time now. And yes we are actually playing THAT bad. Happy clapper.

No, they actually aren’t playing that bad.
Nowhere near as bad as you’re making out.


The fact that you have just said Tranmere and Walsall was a good perfomance just sums up to me that i will never agree with whatever it is you think you are watching and for that, I will leave you to live in that world you are living in. And i just know you are about to say Im ridiculous because we won.

Most on here also thought Tranmere was a good performance and the first half at Walsall.
You’re pissing and whining about two home games where we won 3-1 and 2-1. It’s astounding

Do yourself a favour and scroll back through all the posts throughout the season since we lost to Chesterfield before you continue to spout rubbish.
Bradford away, notts county, Fleetwood away, all good performances in addition to the ones I mentioned earlier

The home games since September?

Your man never mentioned home games, I also missed the Grimsby game out. So in actual fact there have been some very good performances since the chesterfield game.

OK then I will, good performances at home in the league since September?

Nope, no moaning from me, just commenting on games as I see them, & praising us when we play well.

If we play sh*t all season but get promoted would you be praising us????


Thats not even possible.

Well it must be! Because according to you we’ve played 24 games and been shite yet we’re 2nd in the table. Do the same for the next 22 games and we’re promoted

Fabrication again, only you has said we have played shi!te for 24 games, true to form again your now trying to twist the argument with your imaginary quotes.

How is it not possible? When we haven't played well yet, we aren't out of 2nd gear, and we are in automatic promotion places????.........

Firstly you are using the terminology "2nd gear" because McCann keeps using it. What even is 2nd gear in football? If we have 1st gear dont you think we should be using it being halfway through the season? We might actually finish with a promotion that way. Anyway... it is actually impossible for a team to never play well all season long and earn promotion.

I don't use second gear because Grant said it......he didn't invent the saying.

It is not "actually impossible for a team to never play well all season long and earn promotion" from your posts we have done it so far and we are up there?

I must have missed the part where I said we have played crap all season and also the other part where we have got promoted.

It's the accumulation of comments that lean towards us being crap so far.......and the other part where we have got promoted hasn't happened yet nor have I claimed that?

Accumulation? It's posters opinions, it's a forum.

Our home form is the 6th best in the division, recent good performances for me would be notts county and tranmere, Crewe was also decent

Les. Don’t you think that we were the better team against Notts. County for an hour or so?  We also had a stonewall penalty turned down in the first half and a possible second penalty late on. We certainly had them rattled once we sussed them out.

Yes idler I do, we were the better side in that game, but that's the only game for me.

And your at it again?

I have not said we have been sh*t for 24 games.

Not sure why you are trying to pick an argument with me? Surely you have better things to do? I know I do.

Oh dear Bob, bit of a sweeping comment, & an untrue one, I don't argue with almost everone now do I, that's a bit childish. I do put my opinion across though, like everyone on here.

The negativity is unbelievable on here,
New Year’s Day and 2nd in the table, we would’ve  been over the moon with that in July
  Cmon...you know if performances aren't great there's only so long we can go.

You can get results without good performances.

You can perform efficiently with the optics of it all looking poor.

We are in “second gear” according to Grant. The chances of either staying in second or moving down to first are equally as likely as going up to third and beyond.

Really?

Don’t you think Grant & the board won’t move heaven & earth to get us ‘out of second gear’?

This is a division packed with mediocre players (we still carry a couple ourselves which will hopefully be addressed sooner than later) & teams. GM will not want to be managing in it for yet another season & I expect him to make the necessary signings this month so that we at last kick on to automatic promotion.

Of course you can, that’s my point!
People saying we won’t stay in 2nd if we keep playing like this are just contradicting themselves, as we’re in 2nd after 24 games playing like this.

With the manager and players we’ve got I think it’s much more unlikely that we would drop down a gear than up, but I guess it’s just whether you’re a half empty or half full type of bloke

3 pts in the bag but that was poor and yet again we gift wrap a goal
Were making progress , there  hasn’t been many games where we’ve come out on top after that type of struggle . If the January window is going to help it has to provide experience up front and a Woods return would be very helpful!!
