Keith Curle appreciation thread

[Bosco_Jancovic]

Mr.Curle is a very good manager.  Many teams wish they had him.  We are blessed.

You all want to dominate the world every minute.

Please, England is no longer Red on the map.

I like KC and I liked the fact that he gave us an identity last season, which not always pretty on the eye, was a hard working, tough uncompromising side which created chances, scored goals and got enough wins to secure a play-off place followed by two outrageously brilliant performances to secure promotion.
This s season in a higher league full of good, big clubs with healthy budgets has seen us struggle to compete. We've shown flashes of good football but not enough sustained performances or leadership on the pitch to take games by the scruff of the neck. We have lost our identity and we have a soft touch at present which is not a KC trait. The signing of Alan Sheehan could be the catalyst that changes that. We are only 8 games in so plenty of time to turn it around, we just need to find the formula and stick to it. Don't panic.

Absolutely - need a few more like you to post sane comments if only to shut the unbalanced few up

Well Daddy Pig aka manwork "you do come out with some bollocks" right back at yer.
Stating that Wharton and Goode are playing in the championship is quite a stretch. Wharton so far has only made one 66th minute sub appearance. Goode started in his only game at Stoke and was promptly dropped and often has not been in the 18. After his single appearance at Stoke he was savaged on the Brentford forum with the general concensus that he is division 2 standard.
The prolific Oliver has scored one league goal and has also now been dropped to the bench.
Your reply to another of my posts "complete none sense". I would have thought that someone who claims to have a superior intellect should know how to spell nonsense but this is obviously something you do not possess as you would not need to litter your posts with profanities if you did.

Maybe the Brentford supporters would like their Championship standard Racic back and we will take division 2 standard Goode returning to us .
Then they might actually realise what division 2 standard is .

Well said that man. If only the likes of Shoey & co could try to abide by the old "least said, soonest mended" route in their posts.

My thoughts also Wadey. Good post Sir.

Daddy Pig, I am sure you recognise when people are talking bollocks as you have it down to a fine art.
Because Goode played 1 game (and was immediately dropped) and Wharton has made 1 sub appearance of less than 1/2 hour does not make them championship quality although they have briefly appeared in it.Given time they may be good enough.
Using your premise this makes them championship players you can therefor argue that any player who appeared for us in division 2 was good enough to play in that division. Yet plenty who did play for us you referred to as not good enough and non-league at best.

[Deepcut Cobbler]

By that premise, all of our players currently are League One standard...

Excellent post, people are going way overboard 8 games in. We all knew it was going to be difficult stepping up a league.

Translation anybody?

Are you really that thick?, what happened to your superior intellect?.

[Dan]

It is easy to say people are going over board as we have gone up a league. But they also forget that our form in 2020 as a whole has been poor and that includes league 2.....

November is huge for Curle. Few wins and things are much improved. Few early loses in the month and Kelvin has a decision to consider. Fingers crossed for the former.

[1HorshamCobbler]

Dan agree, the game on Sat and through November are winnable and we need to be s3curing points in each of these games if our aspirations to remain in this league have any chance of materialising. I hope for the best on Sat

[west stand oap]

Horsham - I think you will be disappointed as I do not see us getting 15 points from the 5 games. That would give us 22 points from 14 games so almost halfway to safety from less than a third of the 46 games. I do agree that these fixtures represent a great opportunity and we need a decent haul of points from them.

[WadeyCobbler]

A win at Wigan is exactly the sort of result we need this season to keep us above that line. That's 3 wins now all against the lower teams. Not great defensively again, but hopefully we'll gain confidence from seeing it out.
Big game on Tues night, another win needed. If we get it, the KC haters will stay quiet for a few more days.
All this re-enforces me not to panic and be too reactionary after any individual result.

I’m not Dr Doolittle FFS, try forming a sentence that makes sense, I know you get all excited when you reply to me but take a few deep breaths before replying it might get your heart rate below 200. 
Your fascination with me is not healthy but it does amuse me for a few seconds, I am even beginning to feel sorry for you.

[west stand oap]

Daddy Pig you do not fascinate me at all. Strange you could not comprehend my post to which you refer as Deepcut Cobbler clearly had no problem with it and did not require a translation. Perhaps it is DC who has the superior intellect.

Don't bring me into this, but I thought that your last suggestion is never in doubt anyway?
