Wow, thats amazing faith, with faith in those kind of major changes being made, you should play the lottery.
Excellent football? Are we still talking about this season? Being out played and out thought at home? mistake after mistake at the back, combined with nothing up front. Ah yes, I remember that 'good' football.
At times under Money we have been 'boresall'. Away at Northampton we were yawnsome, at home to Northampton we were yawnsome, but you can forgive that on a cold night, at home to Forest we played well, but if we won every game in that manner, I would be very ashamed, because forest will have gone away from that game thinking "how the hell didnt we win that", and I don't really want that, I'd much rather see us losing 2 points at the death against Leeds whilst deserving the full 3 points.
Christ you'd argue black was white Phil, if you could get away with it.
OK, we played badly against Northampton, so badly we're in the next round, after a replay that the Cobblers dominated and failed to score against the best defence in League 1. We've now played 21 league games plus 3 in the FA Cup and a few in other cups, and we've had a handful of poor performances - so name me the team that doesn't have a bad game here and there, can you?
We beat Forest fair and square, even their manager admitted his team got it wrong second half and failed to respond to our pressure - we would have won 2-0 actually, but for a refereeing howler. Then Leeds deserved to be beaten, but got a very lucky last minute break. Why do you decry these results and say you'd rather see us losing 2 points at the death whilst deserving the full three points? Do you actually have any idea in that head of yours of the difference in the budgets of us, Forest and Leeds? We have no right to be competing, let alone beating them/deserving to beat them, yet we have and we are performing at that level. But that does not mean we have to adopt suicidal tactics just to entertain certain super-critical elements in the crowd. Few of us would have thanked DD for beatings against Forest and Leeds, but our super-tactician got it sorted, supplied the motivation, and we took 4 unexpected points that could yet help us into the play-offs.
Shame on you DD, adopting tactics just to gain points, it's just so unfair. Anyone would think this is a professional game that we're involved in! :?
