Dick_Turpin Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Just now, Bluesteel said: I think people did expect us to be up there after relegation to div one. When we signed two strikers who had 40odd goals between them the previous season there was talk of the playoffs. Generally speaking with the exception of CCs second season, our best seasons have come when there’s not been any real expectation at the outset. Our best seasons were when we got promoted. Under Jack, Wilkinson, Atkinson and Megson/Jones we expected to have good seasons. They weren’t out of the blue unexpected promotions. And you clearly expected better than me re Owusu and Premier League return. It never occurred to me we would get promoted in those seasons. But each to their own. Don’t pull is all into your misunderstandings about our prospects! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too right M'Lud, whatever happened to the old backs to the wall and defend this land to the last man. Oh, forgot about Fox and Palmer- we're doomed. Only kidding, we're going up, this is our year.

Don’t pull is all into your misunderstandings about our prospects! Only one of those seasons was since the millennium which is what I’m referring to. There’s no misunderstanding or making up that we have done better with less expectation but as you say each to their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Forgive me, but is it mid March 19, and are we struggling to get out of the bottom 3 places? I was of the impression that we had moved on some of the high-paid underachievers, kept our stars and most of our up-coming talent, have a Head Coach who believes in fitness, and it was the start of a new season.

Ironman Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 If we can pick up a some decent points from the early games start then who knows what might happen. No one expected Cardiff to be up there with their squad but now look at them. If we can get this smaller squad of players fit and really playing well in Jos's style we're capable of being in the mix. The championships a funny league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT is getting so boring as every thread is doom and gloom because we lost to Mansfield in a friendly. The thing is you start to believe it is all disaster too after a while. It's only half time but I've just seen us hold our own against one of The better teams in Europe. Why are you all suicidal.
