cardiffowl06 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Yet again another manager rates us. And judging by fans comments http://www.oneboro.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=6476&page=34 yet again other fans are rating our chances. Full credit to Stuart Gray.

Taximark Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 'I hate playing Sheff Wed, i always feel like we should beat them comfortably and very rarely do, the 3-1 game in front of 28k seems like a one-off.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 'Sheff Wed have had a strong start to the season but IMO they are a poor team and will finish near the bottom of the table.I think this will be a ruthless performance from us today and we will win with ease.Boro 4-0 Sheff Wed'**** x2, Nsue, Tomlin.

sheffsteel Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Burnley were in the group of pre season relegation candidates last season so why not Wednesday this season. There's no pressure and I'm sure like with Burnley, many fans will be saying Wednesdays good form it won't last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evaD Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 "This was a side who beat Brighton on the same day they got Stevie May an unknown quantity in this division... we were turned over by them I trust that Karanka can see the obvious weakness in our squad and can still do something about it. Personally I think Shef Wed could surprise a few this season based on today and their last few" "Whilst I agree we weren't at our best today lets give Sheffield Wednesday some credit... they pressed us very well and gave us little time on the ball... they also kept possession extremely well... a very professional team performance and everything we weren't... thought Stevie May was brilliant for them too... unbeaten in all competitions so far and wouldn't be surprised to see them challenge this season... credit to their fans too who were almost as loud as the travelling Boro army" "I completely agree. They knew what we were all about from the word go and played a very well fought disciplined game. Credit to them for a great performance. They used their height and strength well and reduced us to a terrible long ball game. They look like a good side and their fans made a fab atmosphere."

I've said this before but I'd sooner us stay down, and challenge consistently for promotion while building a team capable of staying up in the Premier League. No point going up just to come straight back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JonTheOwl66 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Parachute payments arguably would be the only thing for me. I don't want us to just go up and get trounced then finish bottom. Sooner see us competitive, even if it takes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooner see us competitive, even if it takes longer. It would be painful but so long as we didn't blow the mega money on offer then we could use the parachute money to strengthen rather than just plug the cash hemorrhaging like many clubs do.

No point going up just to come straight back down. I would have agreed with that a few years ago but parachute payments are so great nowadays it means if money is used wisely it should mean you are at significant advantage over other teams. Those teams who have come down this year have poor/unproven chairman/managers at his level. If we retained our structure you would think well placed to bounce back if relegated. Personally think we would attract good quality investor if promoted and avoid relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see so many examples of clubs just being permanently damaged after being relegated from the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I would sooner us just keep under the radar. Let us plod along quietly, picking up results and lets see what happens. Saying that tho it would be nice if teams started to worry bout us for once, in the past we have always worried about how teams will play and how to stop them etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Manboob Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 If we retained our structure you would think well placed to bounce back if relegated. This is what west brom did so successfully. Happy to yo yo if it helps us build longer term for staying up. Personally i think our squad is too thin to keep this up, but its nice to be in position for this to start to be a reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but that's football's version of Everest 'Summit fever' where common sense and experience is discarded in the lust for the holy grail. It needn't nay shouldn't happen. The premiership money is a game changer that shouldn't be spurned nor wasted. Edited August 23, 2014 by Dagmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 You see so many examples of clubs just being permanently damaged after being relegated from the Premier League.if you go up like say burnley have and dont spend bugger all like burnley have then when you come back down with 60 million in the bank and that puts you in a pretty good position to build from there .....
