Are we just protecting our unbeaten run?

[W6hoops]

No, we`re going all out to try and win games. with 15 mins left, Forest were happy to just dawdle to take a throw in, Even thier own fans started booing them.

We play most of our games with only one up front and three marauding midfielders. We might actually score and win more games with a more traditional 4-4-2 formation from the start? Just a suggestion.

It seems we are putting too much into preserving our unbeaten run, which is having an effect on our attack, we need to concentrate on winning, imo it will change if we get beaten at some point and won't be a bad thing.

Anyone who is competitive wants to win. If I suspected seriously that my team was not trying to win every game I would support another team.

If you have any doubts about the integrity of the team you should address your concerns to the FA.

Ffs don't be so serious, my post was meant to geta reaction, that's how message boards work, or maybe you should take that to the authorities too.

Yes, I think we are protecting our unbeaten run, I believe it is much better to lose games so that we do not worry about protecting our unbeaten run, in fact, I think trying to remain unbeaten is anti-thetical to what we are trying to accomplish, ergo, we should lose as often as we can whenever we step on to the pitch, this will give hope to other teams so they do not get depressed and start committing suicide via hanging or any other ways and means. My idea of a sporting team is one that sets out to lose as often as possible, playing to remain unbeaten is just not on, it's not cricket, is it?

Sarcy sepo, there's protecting our run (making sure we don't lose, even if it means drawing a lot) and just remaining unbeaten due to us being a winning (and drawing) side, I just feel the 'protecting' is getting into their heads a little and is becoming more important. I'm not saying I want us to lose but maybe if we did lose one then they can get on with our real objective for this season, which is promotion not just being unbeaten.

[waterbuffalo]

and I think promotion is exactly on Warnock's mind, automatic promotion, and I think that goes for all the players and staff.

going thru the whole season unbeaten and not being auto promoted would be the most unenviable situation ever, now that's what you would call a record

If we drew the lot it wouldn't be enough and the only record we would have is the most draws in a season (but who knows maybe we are going for that).

The last bit's a joke by the way, I hope so anyway.

In my opinion what this team is missing is a striker that is just hungry to score goals. The amount of balls that go past the six yard box without anyone going in is criminal.

Now if we had a John Spencer or Andy Thomson again well happy days!!!!!! those guys knew where the goal was when the ball was in the box.

[W6hoops]

We are only in 2nd gear. We`ll either capitulate (which i don`t think) or Kick on and get automatic promotion.!

Think playing mackie at RB took something away from our game, we didnt seem to have a get out ball ,think he would have put their defence under alot pressure with his running & strenght, at certain times Adel had the ball looking for a get out he had no one to give the ball to and elected to shoot from silly distances. also 2 or 3 times we put crosses into the box with out anyone being there which i think mackie would have been
