Performance

Forgot to mention, a good side is the one that know how to win games by turning things when they are not playing well.

We did ride our luck no doubt about it and it was not for the first time or second time this season. Some posters do over rate the team like they did the players we signed last season. It was a good result but let's face it we could have lost this one as we could have last week.

The team has flashes of brilliance but still not fully clicking ( I hope). I said the next 4 matches could define our team and what Harry will need to do in the January transfer window.

We are clearly so over-rated. Its not like we are top of the league with the best defensive record in the league, the third top scorer in the league and having only lost two matches this season...

Exactly. And for every game we could have lost there's usually another that we should have won, but for dodgy decisions, their goalie playing a blinder, etc.. That's football. I've lost count of the number of games that Man U. should have lost but didn't and they've won titles on the back of them.

Think you are talking up the opposition tbh. They are pretty well in free-fall and let in five the other day and had very little confidence plus lots of players out. take ince out of their side and they are poor. as richard said i find us very unconvincing - you can count on one hand the number of good performances this season. I also think we have been very, very lucky this season on a number of occasions. I fully accept there is a team in there trying to get out, but I will be interested to see how we look against Leicester and in particular against Derby who look like the in-form side and don't think will be as profligate as some teams we have stolen points from this season. Who knows, maybe that second half performance will suddenly give us the confidence to get out of our shell.

I thought we beat DERBY recently !

Talking about Leicester I think it will be at least easier for us to score goals than the previous games at Loftus Road simply because Leicester will be looking to win as well which will open up the game unlike previous games where most opponents sat back looking for 0-0.

Leicester have the dubious pleasure of playing Man City on Tuesday.

Lets hope their defence get the run around and suffer the severest dent in confidence prior to Saturday.

Not only did we beat Derby, we totally outplayed them. Oh and we battled the conditions on Saturday, rode our luck a bit in the first half and then totally dominated the second half and won 2 nil against a team in the top six - irrespective of their current run of form.
Derby won 2 nil at "Charltonnil" - and having spoken to a lot of people who were at that game, Derby had two chances and scored two goals, were outplayed by the home team who were just totally toothless in front of goal. Derby generally described as being somewhere between poor and average.
But people want to see how we perform against them or are expressing concern at their ability whilst suggesting that we aint all that?
Two teams that won two nil away, one against a top 6 team, the other against 4th bottom; one top and the other on a decent run; both rode their luck, oh and I'm told the weather in South East London was not too bad on Saturday whereas we are still drying out and replacing our toupees after a trip to the seaside.
