A sense of perspective

I'm really pissed off with the criticism the team are getting for yesterday. It was our fourth away league game of the season, and apart from one very good shot at the start and yet another piece of ludicrous refereeing we never really looked like losing.

And the sense of perspective? Last year's fourth away game was at Wolves - where we should have lost by eight, had two sent off, and where our only shot arrived in the 89th minute and went for a throw-in. Those of us who actually rely on the evidence of our own eyes rather than the witterings of Adams know that whilst we still have a journey ahead of us, we've already come a bloody long way.

- Perspective means little if you cherry pick any game in the last 12 mths to fit your view (NCFC) - The Judge, Sep 28, 12:04:06
  - I suppose I can add a few. It took more than last season for us to accept Roeder (NCFC) - pants, Sep 28, 12:11:48
    - I think you'll find that not many of us are disputing these facts (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Sep 28, 12:19:02

        Fozzy into the new andy Hughes, i was thinking the exact same thing yesterday... (NCFC) - wgf500, Sep 28, 12:32:03
        
        We can all see he's got some skill and control which Hughes never had though. (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Sep 28, 12:34:44

        Clingan (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Sep 28, 13:08:16
        
        So while Clingan was doing that what was Fozzy doing? (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Sep 28, 13:11:28
        
        I have to ask the same question (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Sep 28, 13:17:15
        
        Thing is, Makele broke up play and passed the ball on. (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Sep 28, 12:54:27
        
        eg Holt (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Sep 28, 12:43:02
        
        haha, I walked into that. Holt didn't do anything (NCFC) - pants, Sep 28, 12:52:19
        
        Yeah, but Championship Holt was awesome and did that role perfectly. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Sep 28, 12:55:17
        
        That's because CMs are supposed to be really involved in the game!!! (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Sep 28, 12:41:02
        
        Fozzy has been great for us, but not this season, he looks like he needs a rest. (n/m) (NCFC) - wgf500, Sep 28, 12:36:19
        
        In his first season he was talked about like he is this (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Sep 28, 12:54:47
        
        Is Clingan training again? (NCFC) - pants, Sep 28, 12:27:19
      - I could kind of see it coming (NCFC) - pants, Sep 28, 12:21:28

      - ... (NCFC) - Reg Presley, Sep 28, 14:33:35
      - agree. and as for hoolahan (NCFC) - elk, Sep 28, 12:25:37

    - Someones mentioned floppy haired players (NCFC) - pants, Sep 28, 12:18:37
      - Yeah that was me. Leon was brilliant, seemed to come from very deep and to roam. (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Sep 28, 12:22:36
      - I thought he was pretty impressive. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Sep 28, 12:20:45
  - Er, agree with your first lot but no Hoolahan is not the new JJ. (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Sep 28, 11:58:10
