This is the only major worry for our S2 neighbours. He'll probably be on a pittance compared to most Championship managers (including ours) and he will already be in the thoughts of plenty of bigger (but currently struggling) clubs. He's the reason Utd have started so well, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you like about him, Bruce is a very good manager. My tip for autos, along with Cardiff (Vincent Tan apparently back in love with the club owing to Colin's great start so will probably spend big in January).

Were Tufty here then we'd have a serious chance of top two. Totally agree. I just laugh at the people who say they are now backing our manager after Sunday without realising that sort of performance would be the norm with a better manager in charge. Bizarre...

The Coorong Owl Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Blunts, Bristol and Preston to drop out of there were 3 to drop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back on Carlos's band wagon only fell of the back of the horse once and that being the blunts. Emotions got the better of me. He's still the man for the job it's just a matter if we can get momentum earlier this year than the last couple and it's not looking likely. Besides an upheaval now in management in my eyes would be more trouble than it's worth Edited October 5, 2017 by The Coorong Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian joicey Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 IF we were to play attacking football then we'd walk it...if we revert to carlos' default setting then we'll struggle big time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides an upheaval now in management in my eyes would be more trouble than it's worth My view is he's holding us back. We all saw what the players are capable of on Sunday, the question asked of Carlos has to be why are these sort of performances so few and far between?

It's just a gut feel for me. I don't think it would matter who was managing us at this point. A series of bad luck, loss of confidence etc especially mid game changes all the good work done during the week. I just can't see changing the manager being of any use just yet. If we lose the next 3-4 we'll then that's different. Cut throat now with results seen as he's had a decent budget compared to a long list of managers before him.

Jon Newsome Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 The Pigs and Preston are most likely to drop out, Cardiff haven't got great strength in depth so depends on injuries, Wolves will be right up there and Bristol City have a good squad that underachieved last season, so wouldn't surprise me if they were in and around it at the end of the season. The pre season favourites with the bigger squads will climb up there over the winter period as injuries and suspensions kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Cardiff & Wolves will stay the distance top 6 imo. Us & Villa will be in the mix. Norwich seem to be hitting their stride & one other surprise package. Pigs will drop like a stone in months like Dec with 6 games in 28 days.

Jim Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 As good a start as they have had, I'd be amazed if United lasted the distance. I think Bristol City will drop off as they will inevitably have the massive losing streak that Lee Johnson teams go on. Preston won't last the distance either IMO. Cardiff and Wolves should. Leeds questionable? You would expect us and Fulham to push on over the next 2 or 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almat Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 9 minutes ago, A12owl said: Is it that we were so good against weeds or is it because they were so bad and allowed us to play. They got the tactics wrong like we did against the blunts. Hopefully another decent run unbeaten will get us back up the league. It's disappointing that we are playing catch up again. It could be, yes, but the fact we often struggle against poor, dogged, aggressive teams is another indication of Carlos' failings. We seem to only play well against sides that give us room, like Leeds did, whereas the real promotion candidates tend to blow the struggling sides away. Which is why they are near the bottom of the table, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage last season Norwich, Bristol City and Birmingham were all in the top 6 but didn't go the distance. At the same stage in the prior season Reading and Birmingham were also in the top 6 but didn't seal the deal. Currently we're outside of the top six (similar to the prior two seasons) but we made it through. So who out of the current top 6 (Cardiff, Wolves, Pigs, Bristol, Weeds and Preston) will fall by the wayside and make room for us and which other teams? Cardiff, the rest will be different IMO. Leeds are two years behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were Tufty here then we'd have a serious chance of top two. For the sake of those who negged or appear confused, Wilder has got a team which is second-bottom in cost to third in the table. I'd say that's exceptional, whether we like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelman Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Doesn't matter. We won't finish in the top 6. I said 8th before a ball had been kicked this season and I've seen nothing on the pitch to suggest otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
