2 world wars, 1 world cup
Sorry to pick on three of your posts in a row, Snowball, but it's fast coming clear to me (and remember I think you're a top bloke), that almost everything you write is quite questionable and contradicts a previous post of yours somehow! I may be wrong but was it not you who not long ago discounted Brian's first few games as irrelevant because it was his time to bed in? And now all of sudden you're going back on that argument and using them because it helps make a different point?????
I do agree Liverpool was a big plus though.

I suggest you learn how to count, with all due respect.
Hunt, Church... who is our third?????

Snowball 2WW
Our last six games, against TOP opposition have yielded 9 points, that's 1.5 points per game (a 69-point season)
Our first 12 games yielded 16 points = 1.33 ppg game (a 61-point season)
That is, while you complain, we are doing better!!
And that is against
QPR, Cardiff, Doncaster, Norwich, Burnley, Watford, TOP, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 10th
our HARDEST RUN OF MATCHES TO DATE, and we are getting 1.5 points per game, top scorers in the CCC
it is not a contradiction in terms to say that previously I was arguing Goal Difference. I STILL AM!!
Our GD has improved by +3 in the last 6 games. We managed +3 in the previous 12
You can creep ahead by going 1-0, 0-0, 1-1, 1-1, 1-0, 0-0 1-0 = +3
or you can do it by winning games 4-3, 4-0 and drawing the others, even losing one...

2 world wars, 1 world cupRoyalBlueSnowball There's a player did quite well in Scotland as a winger and striker.
He then played at the top end of the championship in a side that
came fourth and made the play-offs. Quality finisher.
He scored 13 goals despite only playing 29 Starts, each just 60-65 minutes
and is as brave as they come.
He had major surgery last year and has come back carefully,
and is now fully fit, and scoring goals for fun, 3 in his last 3 games.
I have it on good authority he will play for RFC without any fee involved
and any increase in our wage bill. Nice bloke too. And Irish.
And if he gets injured?
Sheer Madejski cost cutting lunacy expecting a team to mount a sensible campaign with just three 'senior' strikers on its books.
I suggest you learn how to count, with all due respect.

I do agree Liverpool was a big plus though.
But I said IN that post that I think Mac is great. ALL I am saying (and I believe this) is that if we had lost 1-0 at home to Liverpool we would have probably been relegated.
We probably only needed a couple of more defeats for the confidence to disappear forever.
That doesn't mean that McDermot would then have been a poor manager. It just means that
sometimes a club gets on a terrible run, tries too hard and can't change the way the luck goes etc.
As for me changing my tune, again I am NOT. I have said "It's reasonable to discount Mac's first X games because it takes time for new manager to change things and turn confidence around. That is nothing to do with the historical facts WIN-LOSE-DRAW but WHEN IT IS FAIR TO BLAME THE OUTGOING MANAGER OR THE NEW ONE.
Somewhere around six games is probably the mark.
But saying I believe we might well have gone down had we lost to Liverpool, is not a criticism of McDermot. I would have blamed RODGERS for messing the club around and killing the confidence that the players might otherwise have had.

Isaac Huntroyalp-we Not saying he's parky quality
Do you mean Parky quality as in 'likes a tackle' or Parky quality as a footballer?
I always thought he looked a decent player when he's played against us over the years. Ought to bring a bit of physical presence to our midfield.
