Let's be honest, though, Coventry City fans were probably saying exactly the same thing a couple of seasons ago when they were a long way adrift after a similar number of games and then ended up making the playoffs.
Not that I'm saying that will happen to us, but we're still at that stage of the season where three points shoots you halfway up the table. |

Well said, as usual, Antti. You only have to look at some of the other threads that have been started on here since Tuesday night to know that's true. |

Not me, Brian. I'm just saying its not a big surprise that certain parts of our fanbase think we should be thinking that when you get the man at the top focussing on our end of season run last season as essentially play-off form.
Clive said 13th is where we'll finish this season, and that seems to me to be what we should reasonably be expecting once we manage to work out exactly how we're trying to play. |

To be fair, Antti, Christian Nourry was making a point the other day of saying that our end of season run (can't remember over how many games he was talking about now) was top 5, so I guess its no surprise that an element of the fanbase have taken that fact and run to the other side of the world with it.
And to be fair to Nourry, he did then qualify what he said by talking about "ups and downs" after the announcement of the management team's contract extension. Unfortunately, not everyone within earshot is inclined to balance the two statements against one another objectively. |

Because certain people love to hit out at an easy target to make themselves feel better. Not really sure how it helps, but there you go.. |

Glass is half full: We've clearly got enough threat and talent in this squad for us to start putting wins together consistently and pull away from trouble, plus enough of the squad left over from last season to know what they need to do physically and mentally to make this happen.
Glass is half empty: There are enough "new boys" in the squad to make it an issue if they've all got individual issues that need addressing quickly AND need to understand how they work collectively, all whilst learning a new language and adjusting to life in a new city. Personally, I'd like to hear more about what work Kevin Betsy in particular is doing, as one would imagine he must have a pretty full in-tray at the moment. |

Well said, that man. We're light years ahead compared to where we were this time last year, even if the points tally is about the same. |

..And if we win at home to Hull on Tuesday, we're mid-table again, and all this over-reaction will seem a tad overdramatic (which, of course, it probably is...) |

To be fair, as Clive always says, how many new things can you say when there isn't really anything new to say?
I like Marti's style - he's always open, honest, gives a carefully considered "feet on the ground" appraisal of everything he's asked about and doesn't patronise us fans. I don't think anyone can ask for any more than that, really. |

I'll give you the answer to the first two:
There is no Plan B, because Plan B is to keep practicing Plan A repeatedly until we eventually get it right (and then to keep practicing it until we get it right all the time, obviously).
Chair, as revealed a few days ago, is back in full training, so could be officially back "any day now" you would imagine.
As for the other questions, I would imagine M Nourry and ready to reveal all (possibly..) |

Must be frustrating for him, as however irritating his questioning style was sometimes, he definitely gave the impression of someone who who genuinely cares about the club.
I wonder how he enjoyed being subjected to Russell Martin's "Land of a Thousand Passes"?  |

You have to think that the instruction has been coming from Marti to get it to Dembele (and/or Chair when he's back) as quickly as possible, as worst case scenario would surely be that they both get targeted in the same way that Eze and Grealish did at this level.
If nothing else, that buys you a whole clump of cheap free kicks and the chance to shuffle everyone a few yards up the pitch, instead of suffocating poor Nardi, Cook, Clark-Salter, Dunne and paal the whole time. |

..which makes you wonder how much say Walters had in the decision to get rid of Schumacher.
Surely as a recent ex-player you'd be telling the "powers at be" that they're out of their respective trees..? |

On a sort of unrelated note: Was listening to Tyler and Sints for the first half of Saturday's game. as usual on QPR+. Disconnected during half time to go and potter about in the kitchen, then when I reconnected, it was the voice of the guy who does the voiceover for the Extended Highlights video (who was boring as f*ck, kept leaving long gaps in his commentary and also kept pronouncing Paul Smyth's surname as "Smythe", which was beyond irritating..)
Did anyone get any kind of explanation as to what was going on there? |

Wow...It seems like only 5 minutes ago that 5Live were interviewing him full of praise for the job he's been doing there.
How nice does it feel to be counting us as one of the sensibly run clubs for a change? Long may it continue.. |

Barnet Odeon - a venue which I suspect our very own Mr. Whittingham is also quite familiar with.
No idea what my first film would have been, but it would have been 1971, and I distinctly remember the Wurlitzer organ being raised up from the bowels of the place during the interval, with the area's closest equivalent to Liberace giving it his utmost. |
