Still Happy !!

[Bird on t'Kop]

OK Yes we got beat, Yes it had to the Dingles but come on, we're still second in the league, and still looking like strong contenders for a top six place. I thought the game last night was fantastic, and a great advertisment for Championship football. Kamara last night had some very flattering things to say about the team and the performance which is a first for him.
At times we played some outstanding football, with the passes and movement forward. I was watching in the pub with a group of friends some of which went on last season and they couldn't believe how different our style of play is this season and how great it was to watch. We have a very very good manager who keeps his and the players feet on the ground and never gives up encouraging the team until the final whistle blows.

We were unlucky last night and yes it hurts because of who beat us but we are playing some the best football i've seen us play for a long time. we've still got a long way to go but c'mon lets enjoy the ride it might not last!!

Re: Still Happy !!

I think we can take plenty from last nights match , having watched it back this morn was a complete thriller ! Alright not the result we wanted but we can take some consolation from the way we fought back ! the worst that can happen is we go to third not the end of the world really . Didnt realise nugent was actually in with the crowd till i watched it back , think this was a great thing to see he looked like he was enjoying himself and was a good moral boost for fans i think ! Also noticed wise was there as well checkin us out ! Bring on tuesday !!

Re: Still Happy !!

getting beat could be a blessing with no more presure on an unbeaten run, although it does hurt not beating the dingles! may give them a kick up the ass like after the norwich game

on the plus side west brom got beat so were still 2nd no matter what 🙂

To be honest I thought we were unlucky not to come away with a point. It was an excellent game and a credit to both clubs. I felt sorry for Sean St Ledger but, in fairness if he hadn't buried it in the net, Andy Gray would have done. The referee was very fair and let the game flow.

I thought considering that we did not have one 100% match fit striker available we did extremely well. Well done to all the team, they did us proud even though we didn't win. Also well done to all our fans too, even Steve Cotterill complimented us 🙂

I think there are loads of positives to take from this game not least, that if we can play a game like that without 100% fit strikers how we will shine with them :mawene:

I like What Simmos saying, just put this one behind us, dust ourselves off and get on with it on Tuesday. If we draw or beat Leeds its been one hell of a month for us. We were desperately unlucky last night but in a strange way these are the games that can really make your season.

Remember when we last lost a turf moor, then lost 5-0 at Wigan. We went virtually undeafeted for the remainder of the season.

I think both us and the inbreds looked top six last night.

Re: Still Happy !!

The only thing that made me happy from last night was a little bust up between a pne fan and steward.
The fan was told to get back over the barrier by the steward and the fan was having none of it and smacked him square on in the eye...Oh i loved it🙂

Re: Still Happy !!

One incident that seen to have attracted little attention was Dichio's disallowed goal in the first half. When I looked at the replay he appeared to be in line with the last defender when the ball was played and therefore on-side. But it was a great game and given that a draw would have been a fair result it is really only one point lost. I see our opponents on Tuesday are one up at half time. I actually think I would like them to get something today since they would then probably come out and try to play a little bit of football next week and in that case I am confident we would deal with them fairly efficiently. I fancy Nugent to get a goal or two in the next game.

Re: Still Happy !!

yeah i was just thinking about that, it was very tight it looked as if he was in line at the time, also i know he lashed out twice yesterday which can't do but the oppostion never got booked for stamping on him which was rather harsh i thought!

I think tuesday will make for another great match, and our defeat last night will have the lads fired up for the win. Im just so impressed with Simpson at the moment and long may it last!!
