Cup upset. It happens. Get over it? Surely you would be happy with us overachieving and gaining promotion? You didn’t expect that and an FA Trophy win did you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows if Wild hadn, t been so stubborn in his team selection & refusing to change things. We may even be top... Honest question. Did you think that after the farce that was pre season (games being called off, manager walking, not enough players, new manager coming in late) that we would currently be 3rd!?

Grayski 358 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) These things happen in football we were S*it on the day and Halesowen capitalised on this, fair play to them would much rather we lost this, and beat Sutton next Saturday league is the focus this season Edited February 9, 2020 by Grayski Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We still sit 3rd in the league! I would say we underachieved Oct/Nov/Dec. Due to poor tactics. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And please adopt some realism in your response Last season and preseason we were 3 quality players short of a good team I stated it then and said after season tickets announce we had to be successful this season and make every game count to the last kick to make the offer viable. JF going was a good thing albeit if he had opened his eyes he should have changed tactics with him being a MF player in his time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And please adopt some realism in your response Yes, correct.... We are over achieving in terms of where we thought we would be pre-season, but we are two thirds of the way through now, so we can't keep harping back to pre season. We are where we are on merit despite having a stupid blip before Christmas. Yesterday was certainly 'under achieving' in my opinion. The team were hoping for a win, but not prepared to fully commit in order prioritise on the league. Wild is the best manager we had in a long time but I would just like him to tell it like it is. The paying fan has every right to be disappointed. Edited February 9, 2020 by shaymen_x Can't spell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know it was said in jest Remarks re suicide or mental health issues are no joking matter and even said " in jest" is offensive to people who have been affected by it as some of us on here sadly were last year. 15 hours ago, Flea said: So, who was the fan/s that shouted abuse at Josh Staunton at full time? Josh quite a bit pissed/upset at being called a C*nt for losing a game of football. Fan??? Not a fan and one of our better performers recently and a genuine nice guy was clearly upset by the comment. Hope the guy in question has the courage of his convictions to offer an apology to Josh but I won't hold my breath. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And please adopt some realism in your response Don't think anyone would have envisioned us sitting 3rd at this moment I agree. Yet we are there on merit, Wild, s recruitment has been fairly good. So why can, t we push on & cement a play off place at least? This is our best chance we have had to get out of this league. Bosomworth has to support Wild now to get us over the line..

Stasi Pants 1,104 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Shades of us winning 2-0 at Droylsden in the FA Cup. Doesn’t matter what league you’re in, if your playing well and only lost 2 all season, you’re gonna give someone a game, and they certainly did that. Good luck to them, they’ll remember that day out for ages won’t they? That’s what it’s all about. Wembley’s so 4 years ago anyway. I would say with regards to the “disrespectful” fixtures poster, if you knew our club you’d know it was incompetence and not a deliberate act of arrogance!
