Draws

[Bruce Wayne]

We score a whole lot of goals late on in games. Kinda suggests pushing for results isn't our problem.

 

[Socrates]

10 wins 8 draws 2 losses we are on = 38pts
12 wins 6 draws 4 losses = 42pts

That's a trick!

First one is 20 games.

2nd one is 22 games.

Hahaha, well spotted.

I agree that stupid avoidable draws will cost us again this season.

We should have at least six more points right now, and that's a low estimate.

...don't forget that we are still in a period of transition and are not the finished article.

This FFS

Considering a lot of fans thought we would struggle to get mid-table, the fact we had people in the media who say we can get top 4, even some think we can win the league is just amazing.

The boy Roberto has changed our footballing style, attitude and vision in half a season. He has taken players he knew nothing about, and who played a very different style and changed it into a group of players who are enjoying it, and given freedom to express themselves which has resulted in not only getting us some big results but making football fans from other clubs sitting up and taken notice.

Draws? Yes we will get them, there are only 3 outcomes from a game of football, but as long as we show up and show progression then im happy enough, and so should all of us.

10+8+2=20 games
12+6+4=22 games

lol that was just my mistake.
A lot of people chat rubbish on here mate, people say we will get 4th

First 3 games I don't count as we were still getting used to this new way of playing and we hadn't brought in Lukaku, a McCarthy or Barry

Draw against Stoke was alright in the context of the game, as was Arsenal away.

Draw in the derby was a fair result.

Palace away is one I'd give you, ditto Spurs at home.

I have to keep reminding myself this tbf. When we are the finished article then i fear for most of the teams in the League tbh. TON TON TON!

Can see what the lad means, 3 draws is only 3 points, might as well win 1 and lose twice.

Draws are generally better than a loss, last season we played for draws at times, this season we don't and the draws have been ok results for us in most games.

Hard when teams park the bus against us sometimes.

Only halfway through the season so theres just as much time left for the whole campaign to turn to ****e. Shouldnt be hailing RM as the messiah till he has shown that he can provide a sustainable degree of success. Like I would never get excited about a striker scoring 20 in a season until theyve done it 2 or 3 seasons in a row. RM for me hasnt delivered a thing yet. The good season so far has attracted attention for the likes of Lukaka who isnt our player, Deulofeu who isnt ours, Barry who isnt ours and Barkley who is a newcomer and not guaranteed to be quality. I would say only Coleman is the true bright spot so far as he has shown continued improvement something he would have done anyway IMO. I said when Martinez signed that we will play a style that sees a lot of draws and havent been proved wrong.

Happy New Year, mate.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

We had the most draws last season and I believe we have the most this season. I think it will come to haunt us in May. Anyone else think we should just push for the win? Seeing 8 draws already is worrying.

teams around us have drew 2,3 and 4 games.

you could say, instead of getting beaten at least we got a point.

It's also better for momentum and self-belief not to lose.
