Is it just a product of the overly cynical society we find ourselves in or is their some truth to it?
I tend to think the "due a loss" is a rubbish theory that has no grounding in reality made by fans that ultimately don't trust their teams ability to succeed (I'll admit to using this kind of talk before though). In other words it's this tendency to think you don't deserve to have the good without "some" bad, which is also reflected in some people's betting logic rather than a form guide.
But surely the point is to win every game isn't it? And why wouldn't you aim to give your team the best possible position you could to ultimately win it?
I would rather see my team play consistent efficient team football during the season (10 wins in a row) - and have the confidence in them because of that - than hope for some miraculous run or "hit form at the right time". Not to say that a team can't get on a run and make a GF like Parra in 09, but surely that's the exception to the rule?
The "peaking too early" I can agree with, but only when it's either....
A) A physical one in which players have been going too hard too early in the season. This is pretty unlikely considering the training regimes they have to cater for this problem.
or
B) Teams figuring out your style of play and there's no room or experience for ad-lib footy if needed.
Thoughts?
