Pretty much safe with 5 games left doesn’t feel very tooth-shinny to me. To do so in a season of transition of playing style, with a new manager, and several youngsters being integrated is damn good progress IMO.
100%
I wouldn’t be surprised if that was TB’s plan 2-3 years back
Stage 1 - who can keep us up in the championship after the Sami debacle (get Hughton)
Stage 2 - who can get us promoted ? (Hughton has a great track record, I’ll keep him but know his limitations if he gets us up)
Stage 3 -...
**** the stats, I’m actually ENJOYING watching us this season.
Potter has had 20 games (30 hours of match time) to completely change the way we play. To do that, and STILL have a similar points total to the same stage last season (which included several points we barely deserved) is bloody...
It's getting tiresome......think we all need to move on (seems like it's mostly non-fans winding everyone up anyway). I'm not in the Hughton evil camp anyway......he'll always be a legend for what he did...........but suggesting he gave 'young' Solly March a 'chance' as a comparison with...
March played about half of the 13/14 season so has 5 years of Championship or higher football and is 24 (25 now ?) so he was hardly a kid being chucked into things - Alzate is 21 and Connolly 19
Bissouma was played so much in part due to injuries - Gross missed a load of games last season, Kayal...
It was the OTT and outrageous fist-pumping and aggressive touchline behaviour that led to his sacking, we all know that. Several months of piss-poor results and performances were simply an excuse.
Think we'll have had more 'big team' away games in the first half this season though ? I'm more interested in an end of season comparison. Still 100% convinced we'll get many more points in the second half this season than we did last season (and even if we don't, it'll be more fun watching us try)
It was.......but why so obtuse (or fear of a few keyboard warriors) ?
Barber backed up virtually everything that has been reiterated on here in terms of the club needing a different manager to go in it’s intended direction. I thought the most interesting bit of the discussion was about getting...
Bit rich you asking why it’s bothering someone else when you seem to spend half your free time boring everyone rigid with your constant defending of CH.
Look, the vast majority of us absolutely think he was fantastic for us........but about the same amount, crucially including our chairman and...
Indeed. Could have added utter capitulation away at a shitehouse Fulham, chucking away a 2 goal lead at West Ham, embarrassing performance of 11-men-behind-the-ball hoofball away at Spurs..........etc
