Probably the best team in this league

[Hornblower]

I've been to nearly all of the home games and I've watched all of the televised championship games and I have not yet seen a side that I honestly think are better that the Albion. I've seen sides that have individual players that have really shone and I've seen sides that are not as good as us play a game that either turns us over or nicks something. But I have not, so far, seen a side that I would swap for our squad with all our faults, warts, Barnes and all.

Someone is going to get an absolute hiding from us soon... please Lord let it be next Saturday!

If only we could the ball in the f***ing net, we would be 6 points clear at the top. As had been said plenty of times, at this level you've got to take your chances!

Can I turn this into an anti Barnes thread?

Right now Cardiff have a better team. But I share your opinion. The other teams have ageing players that will not be good enough for the Premier (even with four new players).

The problem is unless we get promoted we will be unable to keep our best players.

We are the Arsenal of the championship

Agree, as much as it was devastating to draw the game, we were magnificent to watch. What a buy Orlandi is turning out to be.

We need to splash out for a quality striker in January and we'll finish in the top 6 no doubt.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Lots of opposing managers say it. Good opening post. We are a decent striker away from being title material.

 

[mikes smalls]

I agree, for me we are a 'Ricky Lambert type' away from winning this league.

I generally agree, I think we are possibly the best team but we do need a top striker to complete us. Put Ricky Lambert in our side and we would destroy most teams.

The only other team I have seen this season who impressed me were Blackpool who battered us in fairness.

Away from home, Blackpool were far better than us, and should have won. I didn't see us against Leicester.
At home, I think Cardiff were slightly better on the day, but apart from that we've been the better team in every home game.

And so is Gus. If only he knew what the experts on here know, then he'd get a job in football.

I didn't see Blackpool away but I was at the Cardiff game and I thought we totally bossed the second half.

This is said every week. Still waiting...

 

[jimhigham]

OK. I've calmed down after the disappointment of another lead squandered at the death. Time to think those positive thoughts. Sooner or later this patchy form must turn and those missed chances will start turning into goals. Keeping absolutely everything crossed that this happens next Saturday and we give those Croydon types a footballing master class.

I don't remember the game in detail now, but I remember thinking they edged it. Whereas a few months earlier, I thought we were easily the better side, and it was just that dick whittingham that got them a point.
