AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I think a lot of people underestimated this league, mainly because they'd never watched it. Opposite if anything, surely? We kept hearing how "tough a league" this is. We're shit, and still 85% sure of promotion. Yes, my brain has stopped working for some reason. That's what I meant to post!

QBG Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I know I am. Childhood hero, and even though we went down it was great having him back in the dugout. Travesty that he didn't get the job all in all. Think he'd probably be more agressive away from home as well. Anyone else? The dugout comment was from a sentimental standpoint. Just don't even bother mate. 2sheds won't credit Shearer with a single thing, you might as well give up now. Duly noted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 No. His analysis of our season after the Boro game was one of the most flawed pieces of pundity i've ever heard, not sure i'd trust him to do a good job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Said the big difference between us and the other clubs in the divison was that they had nobody to take their chances and we on the other had a lot of players capable of scoring goals. Load of bollocks that i might, might have expected from Dion Dublin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Before you say it I know our strikers are gash. The point is that up until relatively recently players like Kevin Nolan were scoring instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load of bollocks that i might, might have expected from Dion Dublin. Say what? How is it "the most flawed pieces of punditry you ever heard in your life"? We're top of the league, and we've managed that by winning the most games. To do that we need to score more than the opposition more often than not. He didnt mean we're prolific, what he meant was that when it mattered, and we needed to win, we did! Also, keep in mind that comment came before our recnt dip in form.

We do allow a few chance, but we also do a lot of good defending where inferior players might have been skinned. Probably a mixture of the two, obviously, but I've been impressed by our defence.

Yeah I think they've done pretty well too. I just think that if that's what Shearer said then I agree with him. We have been able to finish even when playing like shite, the opposition have not.

Ronaldo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Nolan was the only player with any significant goal tally at that point, just seemed like he didn't recognize at all the defence was the strongest part of our team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 We've scored the same amount of goals as 7th place. To give the strikers and Nolan the credit is pretty ridiculous. Then again, we heard Coloccini and Enrique get slagged off by Lawrenson and Dixon while Shearer said nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 At the start of the season, I would have very much liked Shearer- But now I've had time to think about it, I don't think he's the man for the job. Meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
