Poor September, mustn't be followed by a poor October 09:15 - Oct 1 with 4463 views | BushRanger82 | One win in six games, a draw at home to Burton, just about salvaging a point against Millwall, and losing at home to Fulham, the winless streak on the road continuing unabated, September proved to be disappointing. Yet, we're on the right road, so I'm told. I've yet to be convinced of that. Has to be improvement in results this month for any claims of improvement on last season's performances to start even holding a thimble full of water. | ![](/images/avatars/22666.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Poor September, mustn't be followed by a poor October on 09:54 - Oct 1 with 4413 views | Hooped_Pullie | We have four games in October : two away first against big-name strugglers who can hardly buy a win between them (Sunderland & Bolton) followed by two home games against teams who, this season at least, are proving to be way ahead of us (Wolves & Sheffield Utd). If that doesn't make for a season-defining month, I don't know what does. Too early to panic, of course, but nonetheless the next four weeks will go a long way towards telling us where we'll be come May next year. I'm in the camp that says back the manager, however I do muse about how many changes at the top we'll have before we find our own Dyche or Howe. For now though, let's back Holloway, not least because we need a bit of stability right now...and hope for a few more points by the time November's chill rolls around. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

We look to be on course for 16th/ 17th place I thought that we would be in come May. A Austin/ Remy/ Cissé quality striker would cause me to revise that to a top half finish as I am fairly satisfied with the efforts of the squad so far this season, as frustrating as it can be at times. | ![](/images/avatars/9990.gif) |

might've been lucky with that goa, but hardly lucky overall. We murdered them. Could have been 5. Half of me thinks someone is going to get a gubbing soon if we keep having 25 shots, because one day a load will go in. Part of me thinks we might lose confidence and sink badly.

Yeah but we are talking about the rest of the season, another 30 games. How we have been playing is a better predictor of how we are likely to do in the future than the actual results. We would all rather have a 1-0 win where we play badly. But in our last three games if we had won them all 1-0 with an own goal in each and the oppo had battered us and hit the crossbar 18 times, we would rightly be concerned about how likely we would be to win the next game | ![](/images/avatars/1392.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

If you score first against Burton then you tend to win against them as they have to come out and play so gaps open up, thats whats happened in last two games. We started slowly against them and the longer you go without scoring against them the harder it gets Overall though 11 games in we've played 8 teams we faced last season and are a point up on what we did last season so small improvement in terms of results but imo we are miles better in terms of performance. Still a lot to do but I don't think it's been a poor month, the Ipswich, Millwall and Fulham games were all far more entertaining and exciting than we've seen for a long time. | ![](/images/avatars/1922.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think you have to take LBlocks comments in the context of his historical posts. As he says, he tends to be a bit pessimistic and I think he is merely pointing out we could have had quite a few more points. For me we are competing in every game. The only way we will go down is if we bring it on ourselves, including sacking IH. | ![](/images/avatars/7509.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Matt Smith plus three others I'd say? It's kind of accepted we were in for Bogle but Cardiff played a better tune, so we wanted at least one more Ollie is handcuffed by Bungles previous kid on sugar approach plus I reckon if we'd offloaded Caulker we'd 100% have two more players in than we currently have. Ollie clearly doesn't rate Cilla and I reckon his public backing of Washington was a confidence ploy and it's not really worked. Having said that. I think Ollie is STILL the man to get the best out of what we've got and I'd trust him to bring "the right sort" [(c) CandleFace] to the club. | ![](/images/avatars/4057.gif) |

Yep. Ive been saying it for the last two seasons, we need a decent striker. We've never replaced Austin. Dont come cheap though do they...? If only Washington could find a bit of form at this level.. | ![](/images/avatars/11748.gif) |

If only we played to our strikers strengths then maybe they would score. How on earth did Washington score so many goals for Peterborough and now scores freely for Northern Ireland yet can’t get a goal for us? Because we have him trying to pluck out balls from the sky whilst he has his back to goal, the man wants it on the deck, on the shoulder of the defender, I feel sorry for him sometimes, it’s like pulling the wings from a bee and still expecting it to make the sweet stuff. Sylla wants crosses in behind but don’t worry about that. He’s useless. Can’t score, need to sign another striker. need to get a player on loan, need this, need that. [Post edited 1 Oct 2017 23:17]

Washington has had loads of opportunities to stick it in the net .Yes maybe we're not playing to his strengths but he has to make it count when the opportunity arises. Thats what makes a good goal scorer isnt it? He got the goal friday tbf and hopefully he'll build some confidence and form from that. | ![](/images/avatars/11748.gif) |

This is about right. I am not in it for the results at the moment while we're building and doing things correctly. My weekend is a lot worse when we lose but I spent years hating the way we were going about things and hoping we would return to this kind of team and these kind of performances, so I won't complain too much. That being said I hope we do get some people back from injury and start picking up points soon to maintain the positive atmosphere we've seen so far. As above I think at some point all of these crosses and shots are going to go in and we'll start getting more of what we deserve. Very big back to back away games coming up. | ![](/images/avatars/1322.gif) |
