the lucks run out.

I think you’ll find pretty much all football managers are in fact on borrowed time, Crosby is no different in that respect so you’re just stating the obvious.  Neil Harris sacked after a couple of bad results having guided his team to second place will attest to that.

You're a litte "Ray" of sunshine aren't you.

Bump.

I'm a believer in you make your own luck. 

If you don't shoot or gamble you won't get lucky. If you're timid and passive you'll get no luck .

It's toothless and boring.

About 2 of which were any use. Plant and Ojo.

2 of the saves from ojo were Hollywood saves for the camera. We try to walk the ball in the net with tippy tappy football.

Irrelevant, you said that if you don't shoot or gamble you won't get lucky, Objectively, we shot, and therefore gambled, more than they did.

Are you saying that Ojo shouldn't have shot from outside of the box? Or are you saying he should do it more?

I'm saying that the stat of 16 shots is tripe . I'd love to know what constitutes a shot these days. Never In a million years have we had 16 shots. 

[Wrex]

Is it just my imagination or have we been quite a streaky team for some years now? 

The luck definitely ran out since the first international break. Under Darrell he seemed to just start winning games from nowhere. Hopefully Crosby has that knack as well

No you didn't say that, you said that the shots we had weren't any good, but to be good they had to happen in the first place.

Now you are saying that we didn't actually have 16 shots.

Jesus Christ man your arguments are all over the place

'Toothless and boring' can be cured. Play Uche and Josh but for God's sake get the ball to them quicker. That doesn't mean Pope ball. Play it from the back if that's our way but the centre of the midfield MUST switch defence into attack quicker by playing the ball in behind and give Thomas the opportunity to get beyond their back line.

We play far too many safe balls when it's incisive passes that are needed to switch defence into attack.

It has a very “Bruno” feel to the season so far. We had an excellent start to the season under him and it drastically died a death just before the clocks went back.

Think a major mistake for me is not replacing Wozzer with a decent winger . Never liked wing backs , they never seem to know when to stick or twist . Needs a fresh approach for me , as the system we are playing is simply not working .

We could sure do with an Alex Jones right about now

We also had a  J.Thomas in the squad and a similarly wacky home shirt.
