Wullie Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 A point's a f***ing s*** result against this lot tbh. No its not, i wouldn't complain about an away point. It could possibly be a disappointing result but if a draw is a fucking shit result what will a defeat be? A worse one? How is a point an acceptable result against the team with the worst home record in the division? I hate this cliche that an away point is always a decent result. If you're hoping to stay up by the skin of your teeth, maybe it is. If you're wanting anything at all more than that, you need to be beating shit like Wigan. We currently average less than a point a game away from home ergo a draw would represent above average, see your point though but as a midtable team it's misguided IMO. It's not misguided to expect to win more than one away game in a season, even as a "midtable" team. Fucking Wigan themselves have won 4, and they're almost cut adrift at the bottom.

Sifu Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm bringing lots of plum brandy on Crumpy's bus. God help us all. Where are yous drinking once you arrive in Wigan? last time I went (06/07) there was only some crappy sports bar and a Harvester-style pub. Ketsbaia and I will be there. I think you'll recognise him. If so, come over and I will break my duck of letting people off the forum know who I am! Aye, I've met Ketsbaia (and have him on Facebook) so will come and say hello (provided that I can find you!)

Wullie Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I beg to differ given their awful home record (i.e. we're not going to have a better chance to double our away wins tally) but fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 If you can't hope and expect to win this one, which away game can you FFS? Again true, but given our predicament a draw is hardly a shit result. Even moreso given that we had a tough game on Thurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 In isolation, I think calling a point at Wigan a fucking shit result is a bit harsh. They can play on their day. They seem to have more of those days at the business end of the season too. The only away games which I'd describe like that if we didn't win this season are: Villa, Reading, QPR, West Ham and Norwich. Sunderland would have made that list if it wasn't their cup final. There are of course others where we could reasonably be expected to win with the resources at our disposal, but they'd fall in the category of disappointing/annoying.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I remember them scoring 2 against the run of play, us being not particularly good but still creating the chances to win about 4 matches, we had a few saved on the line, Martins missed a few sitters and Viduka was deadly.

Wallace Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Wasn't it a very late equaliser from us in that Derby game which is why we feel we got away with it? I can't remember anything of the game itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
