Season of failure?

[brakespear]

Seeing as Bloom said he expected Top 6 then anything less is a failure

For Tony, but not for me, anything from 12th up was my expectations.

Not that easily pleased as I hate losing...Even drawing at home I consider a massive disappointment.

But in the context of the season I think (currently) getting to 7th in the table has been pretty good. As for the away games being "dire" I find that strange as we have only lost 6 all season with only 2 clubs losing less...Those 2 have just been promoted. Also, the Leicester game was one of the finest performances of the last few years...People mention Leicester's "promotion hang-over" but it would not have mattered as they could have put out a fully-fit first team and we still would have blown then away, we were that good.

Albion & England forever.

I said London clubs away. for example Charlton Boxing day and despite winning 1.0 Millwall away absolutely DIRE.
The three London draws away looked good at the time but not now.

So 2 games then. On the whole our away results have been pretty good, the stats back that one up. I will always take at least a draw away from home so all points gained are a positive.

I think failure for a few reasons......

being in a play-off position and failing to capitalise
losing winnable games at home
pedestrian, uninteresting football, lacking meaningful entertainment value
failing to sign players who would make a difference, instead settling for second best (Obika, Rodriguez......)

I've not enjoyed the style of football at all and feel we've gone backwards.
