I was hoping for a good 4-0 win to help our appalling goal difference. I
would have taken a draw or even a home defeat if the comments from those at
the game were saying we played some great stuff
and nobody could quite believe how we didn't score or win - that would bode
well for the future. Early reports suggest though we beat the bottom club
with a hoof and hope based game. This must give rise to an even greater
salute and acknowledgement to those faithful who attend to watch such
depressing rubbish week in week out. And to think our reward for beating
Birmingham is the prospect of a home mauling by Spurs (a la Chelsea) - will
it be a full house again based on the "You never know" principle? Perhaps
not, based on the "Oh yes you do" theory.
A manager can shape how a team plays - does Warnock ask his defenders to
whack it up there in the hope that our strikers will make something of it.
He could forbid this tactic but obviously doesn't.
Perhaps though he does and his posse of poor players have neither the brain,
skill or presence of mind to to do anything else. Does he bollock them
afterwards for this play before doing his post match interview when he makes
a generic comment about it being a great game and anyone can beat anyone in
this league twaddle with his rye smile. I'd like him so say something
controversial for once and try and show passion rather than just a comment
you'd expect from a neutral fan who had nothing better to do on the day.
Looks like Warnock is not going to make his record breaking promotion this
season at least. Will our new owners give him more time I wonder? Based on
the muppets he's brought in so far (apart from Diouf and Kenny for example)
I fear (hope) not. He would defend this saying Bates held the money back and
that's all he could get at he time with the funds. Who knows the truth? For
me, we've been stuck nowhere for too long and our current league position is
very flattering with the inevitable, and meaningless, Spurs home defeat
just round the corner.
I wonder if the squad is out of the bath after today's victory or are they
still all sitting there (water now tepid) contemplating in silence how
rubbish you have to be to beat the bottom club by a margin of 1 goal?
