Yes, there's no such thing as luck, the same mistakes keep getting repeated. He hasn't spent £40m to be picking up a point a game and be below Burton Albion who have probably spent about 40p. They're not doing their jobs to a sufficiently high standard and need to pull their fingers out of their arses and stop making excuses and start getting wins. It's not unlucky when you miss sitters and hit the post.

Hitting the post is kind of unlucky....

It's not, it's an inaccurate shot.

Looks like RDM doesn't have long judging by his latest tweet......

Unlucky could be excuse once , not be twice,third times... I would never forgive myself when I make the same mistake twitter.com/longbridgelion…



No it dosen't at all. What brought you to that conclusion?

I can't see how you could read that he's anything but very unhappy.  I posed the question in the match thread as to whether Dr Tony is a patient man or not.  I think he'll be towards the impatient end of the scale, personally.  I hope we start to get it right before we find out.

That's the only way I see it, too.

I hope he isn't gearing up to do something stupid, I really do.

The manager being under pressure at this point would be the stuff of that Leeds United mentalist.

Indeed.

RDM is the right man for the job IMO however Dr Tony may well be reminding him that he needs to prove he is the right man week in week out.

Good. I'm still very skeptical of RDM. I approved of his appointment, but he has shown me nothing. Maybe Tony's tweet is in regards to playing Gardner.  ::)

Seriously though.. get that kid off.

So if someone hits the post, and the ball ends up in the net - is it still an inaccurate shot? Or just a lucky shot?

And if it hits the post and then bounces off the back of the keeper and goes in?

If that is what he's doing it's idiotic. Week in, week out doesn't really matter. It's where we are come the end of the season that matters. RDM needs some time and space, as I feel we're moving in the right direction.

So Ayew's shot against the bar was inaccurate and thus poor

Whereas when bacuna miskicked the ball into his own face and in against west brom that was good because it was on target?

One shot led to one point, one face hit to 3.

Our greatest ever goal was shinned in. Results count, nothing else does.

We have been terribly unlucky so far.  Sorry but we have. With a small amount of luck going our way we would be 4 points at least better off.
