This. I like to think that most people didn't really expect the playoffs this season, what with the injuries and stuttering preseason we had. It would be awesome, don't get me wrong but i've learned never to expect anything when following the Albion.
I agree. There's a problem inherent to playing in this division, though, that will probably only get worse.
Given that we have no parachute payments and are doing our best to comply with FFP, we shouldn't anywhere near Forest, QPR etc. at the moment. The money they're spending week on week is astronomical in comparison to us. We sold Bridders and Barnes in January and money we recouped wasn't spent - because we're 'doing the right thing'. Burnley are a (very honourable) exception, of course.
I seriously hope the teams who have kept on spending for fun get absolutely hammered by the FFP rules. I'm not holding my breath though.

Managers need time. Oscar cut a frustrated figure himself today. Needs the time to mould his own team.
Of those playing today there are a lot who will not be here come next season. With the funds would like to see who OSCAR brings in.

My frustration is nothing to do with the playoffs it's turning up every week and watching dull, negative and predictable football. Can cope with losing but at least want to see us giving it a go.
Most worrying thing for me today was I went to the game expecting nothing less that the dull display on offer

I'm not sure I agree with this. Bridcutt, IMO has made way for an absolute revelation in Rohan Ince.
Barnes was not one of our best players. I'm pretty sure nobody could invision how dire we'd be infront of goal with Barnes not in the side.

But they've spent heavily to do so, we certainly will not.
Agreed but with different manager and coach.
If it means losing every game until the end of the season for this to happen, so be it.

I'm not too fussed about missing the playoffs, these things happen. But I don't think there's much evidence to suggest that with the current setup we're likely to be better prepared next season. Do you think there's much reason to believe that the people responsible will get in better players to replace the ones that leave? I don't, personally.

I'm not one to post purely to correct someone, but come on.
Do you really believe that? We have a number of players out of contract, we are not playing well and if we are honest, based on our performances this year our position flatters us.
Of course I hope you are right.
