I agree up to a point (or in this case no points, as it turned out). We defended well, as usual, and looked as though we had earned a draw. Awesome performances from Phillips and Goode. But if you show zero attacking intent you are always one mistake/bit of bad luck from coming away with nothing. In this case a needlessly-conceded corner, pinball in the penalty area and a horrible scrambled winner. It was the kind of stunt we might have pulled off ourselves last season.
Doubtless Chuds will find a stat or two to 'prove' how well Revs is doing. But since he was adamant we had nothing to fear from a very tough run in of away games against teams in the promotion hunt we've managed one point from five matches at Birmingham, Stockport, Reading, Wycombe and Orient. Last year we finished with 71 points. On current form we are on track for 58 this time around.
I am convinced we have a significantly stronger squad than last season and I would be perfectly happy if we can keep almost all of them, assuming Simpson and Pressley don't return. But the approach has to change and if this manager can't do that he has to go before all the fans do. This forum has always been a decent barometer of feelings amongst the diehards. Look how few people have bothered to post in the wake of derby match.
I have no particular wish to see Evans return, but you have to admit that last season was SO much more fun than this one.
