Verbal, 92 points is, on average, what the top placed team in the Championship end up with come the end of the season, as very usefully pointed out by DSB. Considering that we began the season as favourites, I don't think it's unreasonable or optimistic. Maybe at this stage, it might be, but we should still be targeting 6 points from every 3 games if we want to be anywhere near promotion.

Re: away to birmingham
Only caught what little they gave to us on GMR but Jack Dearden didn't think it was pen. He said the Linesman gave it not the ref and there'd be a penalty every time the ball went in the box if you flag for that. Is he right, if he is hope Coyle finally gives the officials a well deserved rocket. He's seen as a soft touch by the officials.

Re: away to birmingham
Nah, I'm sure it wasn't Coyle's fault directly. By the looks of things, we threw the kitchen sink and just lacked that cutting edge. But Coyle signed these players, so it's HIS fault if we don't have a cutting edge, whether due to ability or lack of confidence. The issue is that it's the same old tale read and repeated ad finitum for the past 18 months. For that reason alone, he's got to be on his last legs.TANGODANCER wrote:Can't honestly say tonight was Coyle's fault. Spearing injury was a real blow, Chungy didn't play well, Knight threw a wobbler and gave away the penalty that lost us the game. Afoebe seemed to do okay although the Sordell situation is baffling. Not scoring was the difference as we had a panful of chances and the ref seemed a right xxxx. Has to be either Sordell and N'gog (who isn't really doing much) or Sordell and Davies with N'gog or Afoebe subbing for Saturday.truewhite15 wrote:Well, if the statement from Gartside is to be believed, Coyle needs an away win against Wednesday to save his job.

Re: away to birmingham
On the way back. Shite again. Amazing how many long hopeful punts creates absolute panic in our defence.
Coyle will try and deflect the blame on to the officials, but he should take a look at himself and his abysmal record, then walk. We just aren't learning from repeated mistakes.

Re: away to birmingham
BBC web site said it was Alonso with the foul on King, difficult to get Alonso & Knight mixed up.

Re: away to birmingham
TW - cutting edge is the least of our problems right now. Until they can learn how to keep a clean sheet, we're going nowhere. Trouble is it just doesn't seem as if the penny is dropping. We'll go to Sheffield looking no more resolute away from home than we have all season

Re: away to birmingham
First live game for me this season. Think top half will be a good finish with this lot. Ngog afobe and Davies not got ten goals between them. Mears Alonso and knight are a shambles. Sad display with our only tactics either a punt to Davies or find eagles at all costs. Terrible. Coyle out.

Re: away to birmingham
I get the feeling now that, even if individual mistakes can't be pinned on Coyle (no matter how hard some try), just the fact of getting new staff in may provide some boost to whats already a jaded squad. New faces, new ways of doing things, it's a risk but for whatever reason everything Coyle does and says is falling on deaf ears and at the end of the day this is a business.
I'll be sad to see him go but he HAS to go now. From the outside in it's hard to see what he can do to change it..

Re: away to birmingham
I make it that we have now conceded 100 league goals since Wembley. In just 50 matches. And we've only managed 4 clean sheets in that period too. How long do we have to put up with a manager who quite clearly doesnt have a clue how to defend.
Coyles got to go now. Some people said lets give him 10 games, well even if he wins his next 4 games (unlikely) then he won't be on 2pts per game after 10 games. Time to go.

Re: away to birmingham
Oh, believe me, I know. My point was more along the lines of, right now, everything that goes wrong is either directly or indirectly Coyle's fault.Harry Genshaw wrote:TW - cutting edge is the least of our problems right now.

Re: away to birmingham
Time to go, for me. Some awful bad luck last season hid what was basically one glaring error the whole time- Coyle can't right a sinking ship. 2 goals conceded per game over the last 50. You won't survive any league with those stats.
I said at the end of last season if the defence wasn't fixed in the summer then it would carry over into this season, regardless of division. That's Coyle's fault.
You can sit there all season saying "if the chances went in we'd have won", it doesn't matter. 'Score one more than you' football doesn't work because you won't always score chances. But if you defend like a ninny you WILL concede.

Shit. He'd rather develop an inexperienced Arsenal youngster than our Sordell. Simon Cox and Billy Sharp, experienced strikers for this level, were crying out to be signed. Instead he thinks an Arsenal youngster can take us up.
