THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

We’re still a work in progress outfit, MW has done really well with a squad he inherited, he’s starting to add his type of players to play his system.

We’ve not hit the heights yet, but we are getting results with the odd loss here and there, it will come together at some point, but losing at Barrow in my eyes is no big deal, we were in the game up to the final whistle against a team with a very good home record.

As others have said we were in a perilous position when MW took charge, looking anything but a play off team, yet look where we are now

I think we are getting close to being a decent side. Im not sure quite what it is missing at the moment, whether its just time, or a player, a performance or even a line up thing but we are not a good side at the moment, on the flip side I feel we are not far away from that changing if MW can just find the missing bit of magic.

I was making a point that it’s not getting ideas above our stations. There’s nothing wrong with wanting us to do well and win big games, I don’t expect it but it’s not like they are 20 points above us. Barrow have also been in fairly poor form. So I don’t see how that makes me seem 12. Makes it seem like you don’t know how to contextualise a very valid point.

Contextualise a valid point? what on earth are you talking about? The very nature of how close we are in the table demonstrates the context of the match and as such how close we could have been expected the result to have been. At best, at very best it was a 50/50 match as our own form hasnt been great.

I remain quite positive. We bounce back well from defeats under this manager. We also win a lot of games and rarely draw games we dominate which is a good sign and has meant we have piled on the points since the manager took over.

I guess at the heart of us all there is just a niggling concern, a small voice whispering doubt. We have a really good manager but my doubt is - is he just the wrong side of being stubbornly ideological ? The keeper is the best example, but when he talks about us being more patient, Payne and others needing to stand still more. That little voice of doubt pops up again. Is he trying to be a bit too clever with all of this and will it cost us? I know it’s a mile better than the wretched Graham Alexander , and I am 95 percent sold on MW: I am just not 100 percent there yet.

Dearie me there's some negative vibes on here ce soir. But that remark did put me in mind of that bit in The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy....

Ford jumps in to finish Arthur’s statement that Prostetnic’s verse has “interesting rhythmic devices” that “counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor.” When Ford can’t think up what this underlying metaphor actually is, Arthur posits that the metaphor is one about the “humanity”—or “Vogonity”—of “the poet’s compassionate soul.” Having established this, Arthur forges on to say that this “compassion” “contrives through the medium of the verse structure to sublimate this, transcend that, and come to terms with the fundamental dichotomies of the other and one is left with a profound and vivid insight into…into…er…” At this point, Ford swoops in, declaring, “Into whatever it was the poem was about!”

I don't think we need to know of your 'adventures' in Netherfield on a Saturday night.
