Not another Parky thread, more about the quality [lack of] of this League.
How many times would you have come away thinking; 'We actually played really well today'
Going through the games i would put this list forward:
Leyton Orient (A) 1-2 (2nd half performance)
Hartlepool (A) 0-2 (team full of confidence)
Tranmere (A) 0-4 (like watching Brazil)
Leeds (A) 0-0 (superb defensive display in a 180 mph winds)
MK dons (H) 5-1 (putting the Cup defeats behind us)
Swindon (H) 2-2 (9 men heroic display)
Yeovil (A) 1-1 (10 men for 60 mins in dreadful conditions)
Maybe a couple of others/couple less depending on opinions, but i shouldn't think much more. Been a few games where we've done 'ok' but not particuarly dominated.
So 7 times out of 37 games we've actually played 'well' yet still sit 3 points off an automatic place. Amazes me, but at the same time shows this League for what it's for. Norwich seemed to be the only side who actually look like they shouldn't be in this League & if we do somehow go up, we won't be able to get away with so many average performances against sides that will punish us. Would we actually stay up if we got promoted?

Brentford (H)
Norwich (A) - certainly did in the first half. We sat back second half but still did well I thought.
We wouldn't stay up with this team, but we wouldn't be in this position without improving the squad in the summer/during the season like we did. Ambrose, Zheng etc were always going and we already have their replacements, it was regulars like Hudson and gaps in the team that needed replacing with new signings. We still have gaps and weaknesses in the squad and we'd have to sort those out to stay up if we get promoted.
Best game I've been to this season.
Huddersfield (H) - The best we've played all season
Orient (A)
Yeovil (Home and Away)
Wycombe (Home and Away)
Brentford (H)
MK Dons (H)
Swindon (H)
Millwall (H) - Our attacking play
Leeds (A)
Tranmere (A)
Hartlepool (A)
Southampton (H)
Bristol Rovers (H)
why not just go the whole hog and list every home win and away win or draw
MK Dons, Bristol Rovers, Brentford, Yeovil, Huddersfield at home.
Also thought we played well at Brighton, a good solid away win and could have had more than 2. Also Orient, Tranmere, Hartlepool away
Walsall away we dominated for long periods but had no cutting edge
Barnet in JP was good aswell
