Frank_Lucas Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Last season for majority of it they were in the top 2 positions an towards then end they slipped into 3rd and missed out on PREM by a few goals This season it's possible a similar occurrence happens and they miss out at this point knowing you have to settle for playoffs what does this do to confidence ? They played well all season then when it comes down to it they miss out by losing to us would you take playing them again? There is too many twists and turns still to come in this season does anyone still get a buzz just generally from a football prospective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 If we swapped managers we'd swap positions. Brighton are no better than us on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Given the choice of Brighton or Huddersfield finishing 3rd and us playing one of them I would much rather play Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Lucas Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Once your in playoffs it's a different ball game it's over 2 legs lots of things like confidence comes into play forget previous games they mean nowt IF hooper and the likes of make it back into team it could be the fresh boost we are desperate for and could aid our chances this time!

For sure, but we'd have to perform like we've only done on a handful of occasions Our performances have been consistent, consistently indifferent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'd love it if Brighton stayed down, but I wouldn't fancy playing against them in the playoffs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) If they bottle it again (I dont think they will) it'd put Houghton in a very interesting position - he's almost universally regarded as an excellent manager doing a great job, but how many times would anyone be able to hold on in a repeatedly 'close but no cigar' scenario, I wonder? Has any team ever finished just outside the automatic spots more than 2-3 times in a row? Wonder what's the record for consecutive narrow promotion misses, and how long the gaffer managed to stick around? Would be interested to know.

Almat Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hughton has been in his job 6 months longer than CC, but both have had 2 full seasons. I know which one of them I'd be happier to see in the home dug out at Hillsborough and anyone who doesn't agree is deluded. Never going to happen, of course.
