Thought it would be good to have a thread to keep track of this, but also if one of you EGGHEADS could please explain to a THICKET like me what needs to happen from this point on to mean that finishing 8th might actually = BHA visiting the likes of Paphos, Celje and Bialystok.
Many thankings...
I don't think we can assume a win against Wolves.
Won their last 4 in a row.
I find it hard to answer without knowing when Veltman is back, how much we can use March, can we use Van Hecke and Dunk for the rest of the games, etc etc. We are capable of being a very good or very poor side...
Trump is SUCH a pathetic coward isn't he?
The way he always always always shifts blame "I didn't know anything about it." "I didn't start it." "Nothing to do with me."
The exact opposite of leadership.
I think this is it.
People are comparing us to Fulham and Bournemouth above (understandably), but many of us (understandably again) like to think our league rivals should be the likes of Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle.
MAGAs KNOW they don't trust "the other side" (ie the libs, everyone else in the world, people who can tie their shoelaces etc) and that is the most clever, effective thing DJT has done.
Get them to a point of "ah well, they're all as bad as each other, at least our guy is funny/fun" or some...
This is the nub for me. We've been here for nearly 10 years now. It's literally the same shit every single time, the same meaningless waffle - it is SO f***ing excruciatingly DULL.
When you're fighting for your lives in a relegation battle, I think you put up with a bit of this if you're pragmatic and wise. No one gives a shit about how you train if you're the best player on the pitch when matchday comes.
I suspect RVN felt his authority challenged early on, and -...
Yep. This is the frustration - it was the same under Potter. No acknowledgement and adjustment based on the opposition side.
We are MUCH better than them, and they are expecting to get given a pasting. Get the game done in the first half.
This isn't really a moan, as I'm also aware we...
Some of the old letters pages are quite incredible. Really not much of a vetting process it seems.
Half of the letters from people in the early 90s were opposition fans basically saying how much of a dangerously dilapidated shithole the Goldstone was, ha.
My brother would potentially be interested if you had any that were mid 80s and beyond into 90s?
Guessing not from your thread title, but this goes for anyone else looking to get rid of programmes from around 86-94.
Agreed - the decision to bench Facu appears very much to be a non-footballing decision. There were noises at the time of a bust up between FB and RVN in the dressing room, wasn't there?
Looks like him trying to impose his authority early on, potentially at the cost of the side having a chance...
He was literally their best player (according to Leicester fans and the evidence of our eyes) when RVN came in. He was getting them points with his performances.
He pretty much instantly took a dislike to him for one reason or another and took him out of the team. This coincided pretty neatly...
We aren't bad at home generally overall, but we DO seem to have a specific weird issue with shit teams who come to the Amex on very, very low confidence.
I would bet our record against bottom 6 sides is at least slightly worse than the average for a side in our league position, over the last...
