Has a point

[Steveo]

A very good point (meaning) AND imo born of the form that went before. The form some were gleefully pointing to as 'the form of champions.'

Taking 3 points at the death with a last gasp winner etc time after time. because that's been the reality since the opening day defeat from a winning position in the Community Shield...against the same opposition.

Almost every game - taken to the wire.. Takes its toll mentally, physically AND leaves us finishing games in the mindset of looking for a winner, gambling.. WINGING IT - rather than being realistic ... saying to ourselves.. 'we R lucky as fook to be looking at a point away at Palace.... from a game we should have been dead and buried in 45 minutes earlier.. and focus on heading back up the M1 with that point.

Great post that's exactly what I was saying a week ago to the "But we've still won 5 all is good and dandy" crowd 2-0 win 3-0 etc take a lot less toll mentally and physically.... we didn't use to concede every week.

Yes and every game has been a struggle... you think we can carry on like this ? and keep winning?

Good results against newcastle and arsenal at home

But we was against 10 men and nearly blew it.... and only beat arsenal due to a worldie from Szob....

Struggled against the poorer teams......

Let's see what happens at palace shall we. Away in turkey won't be fun either..... and next months fixtures aren't the easiest.. but i'm sure you think we're playing great justme and we'll keep scraping games and be lucky. how much effort goes into said games instead of holding a 2-0 lead against poorer clubs and winning? Exhausted by christmas if we carry on, that's if we don't have 5 players out injured

we need to improve simple as that, I'm not sure why we go so sloppy and shit when we score first.

post from another thread I made, at least we agree on something xoxoxo, I mean we didn't score first this time but obviously was going to struggle after palace goal.
