Have the wheels fallen off?

[Reading Pilgrim]

Is anyone else out there worried that the enforced two week break has seen us lose the great momentum that we had built up in the early stages of the season?

Admittedly, a decent point on Tuesday night, but two draws on the bounce.  Too many drawn games can hurt more than the occasional defeat.

I still have faith in the lad's, but cant help but worry.....Perhaps it comes with being a United fan all these years?!

Two good points against two improving sides!

typical this is we have a few results which might not hit everyones expectations but for me i don't see what there is to worry about

guiesley are a team we know well from last season and very tough to beat on a lovely summers afternoon let alone the rain we had to play in !

today i didn't go but they have risen up the table in recent weeks so are in good form and also have the top scorer in the league

funny i didn't hear anyone moan when we nicked a win at alfreton despite alfreton having many more chances than us

Couldnt agree more, and dont get me wrong I'd be over the moon to finish the season in the position that we are in now.  I still think that Tuesday nights result in paticular will prove to be a massive point at the end of the season.

But it would have been nice to see the great momentum that we had started the season with continue.  Having said that another clean sheet...Cant ask for more than that, especially given the fact we have goalscorers in the squad!!  Roll on Tuesday at home to Corby.

I'm not moaning, I'm asking a question.

[BUFC Loyal]

how come all of a sudden the wheels may have fallen off if you already say its 2 good points  ?

we'd have all taken this at the start of the season, theres no-reason to start questioning anything, when we're doing well you wouldn't be question when ' the wheels are going to fall off '

[woad_pilgrim]

No. That's 9 away games now and still unbeaten and only 1 defeat from 5 home games. Once we start playing home games I'm confident we'll be winning the majority and these away draws will come into there own. I'd normally expect us to be top from our results but Alfreton are having some exceptional form which is keeping us from top.

First game I have missed home or away in 2 and a half years today, but spoke to someone at the game who said it was a similar game to Tuesday in which case a point is all we deserved.

[Sussex Pilgrim]

Just a warning about this Tuesday coming, we've only conceeded two goals at home, I've only been to one match and seen both....guess what ....see you Tuesday

[fcum_91]

Sorry to interupt, but you've lost 1 league game all season and 9 clean sheets on the bounce? how have the wheels come off? 

[Lord Cutler Knobhead]

No goals conceded in what, 800+ minutes.  May the wheels come off more often. The lack of goals is a worry and we look rusty but we aren't losing despite poor form so can't moan too much.

[BUFC Loyal]

in someways we might have started too well for our own good now a few goaless draw on the bounce we have people questioning

we have options up front, semple, yates, church, sleath, pearson etc chip in the with odd goal now and then, and we're solid at the back

what is there to question ?

Have the wheels fallen off - No No and No again.

Things are still going fine, it is the 3 week period in late Jan early Feb when we play the other top 3 teams when we will really no how well things are going.

My only plea to the managers would be can we PLEASE see Miles Hunter on for a few spells of at least 20-25mins so we can all see if he can score goals.

Ill Agree. In the times i have seen miles come on you can see how his pace makes a lot of gaps in the backline by dragging players out to chase him.

Victims of our own success perhaps?

[YellowHills]

No. Next question?
