Anyone else noticed?
We have the joint best defensive record in the Prem (with Man City). Only ten goals conceded so far.
Our defensive record is better than Man U and Chelsea and twice as good as Spurs.
Tone must be creaming himself.

We are Top 6 without the ball and Bottom 3 with it.

I'd gladly sacrifice a couple of clean sheets for some more goals.

Problem is our offensive record is one of the worst in Europe ;D

2nd worst goals for record, equal to QPR, so it's a good job

Might have something to do with never committing players forward (except for set pieces)

Might have something to do with never committing players forward (except for set pieces) Just making the exact same point on another thread. Having identified a need to score more goals its absolutely baffling to see our striker with even less support than he had before it was accepted our goal scoring record needed to improve. Perhaps our players were crowding him. |

Can we look forward to another season where we are the lowest scoring club in England? Oh goody.

LOOK STUPID NOW DONT YOU CLEVER DICK! It was sarcasm you clown. You stated that having the best defence is because of binary football and yet Man City had the best defence last season whilst scoring loads. |

So the manager and his coaching pygmies can organise a flat back 8. Well done.
Problem is he hasn't a clue at the other end of the pitch despite spending 10's of millions of pounds. Going forward we are a disorganised shambles.

It's a fine line. Look at teams like man united and Chelsea. I wouldn't have their defences given me. They have to score at least two a week to win a game, quite often three.
We don't look like conceding so in most games just have to put one of the chances away to win it. I bet united and Chelsea fans are just as fed up of having to keep letting goals in to get them going.
I certainly wouldn't want us to be as wide open as them two are at the back. Everytime a team attacks us we think they're going to score. I remember that with boskamp.
We just need to put one or two of the chances away and things will turn the corner. Like WBA, who have two shots on goal and win. Spend the rest of the game camped in their own half and scrape through. It's how it goes some seasons. Ask Newcastle from last season having west broms good form and luck and now getting booed.
