Draws don't help much in the Championship

    Agree that 3 points are better than 2 but also the argument was weakened by the two 5 nil losses etc (-10 in goal difference is like losing a point). But I also think after a run of draws it's the next result that's important. If you're down the bottom like us, the longer you go without a win, the more pressure builds.

    From a selfish point of view, I wouldn't have been happy having a day off work and going up to Leeds and watch us lose 5-0, where as I had a great day out watching us draw and very nearly beating a team that most of us thought we had no chance against.

    After one 5 nil loss players get dropped, everyone gets a kick up the backside by the manager etc. After two 5 nil losses you would start to feel like the wheels are coming off and the managers days are numbered.

    As much as Leeds and Wolves away are good points, the thing is, it would be better to have beaten Barnsley 1-0 and lose 5-0 at Leeds and 5-0 at Wolves. It#s wins that really count. Hopefully we'll build on the draws and get a couple of wins from the next few games. Of the 6 games in November, considering 4 are at home and the away games are winnable ones, we should be aiming for 3 victories at least.

    It's such an unforgiving league and with everyone beating each other, we have to keep our wins tally as high as possible.

    I thought we were good in the seocnd half at Wolves. If Hulse was the player he was a few years ago we'd have won. Of the 4 decent chances he had in the 2nd half, I wouldn't mind betting that Fuller, in the same positions, would have scored 3 of them, Yann 2 and BWP 1.

    We seem to play better without Green and Stephens

    Might have to get use to it as bigger clubs will come in for them next season . Be careful what you wish for.

    If Portsmouth had drawn 45 and won 1 last season, they would still be in this division.

    Conceding 8 goals and winning one game might be more points, but how would that have affected the players' confidence for future games?

    This thread is wrong. Mathematically, theoretically, logically, just wrong.
