prowl Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 All we need to do is make sure we are better than every other team and we will stroll it. I know that is obvious but I just feel with Bruce in charge we can do something special. If we can get over the P & S problem and spend a relatively small amount on the right players we should fear no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they’ll challenge top half but will be no easy games think it will be alot tougher than this season imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People measure it on how big they think a club is as to whether the league is easy. That's still the killer for me. Hudders in the semis and Reading waiting in the final. And we still screwed it up. Still can't get over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevan Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 The important principle is that we need a squad that can perform consistently well and bring home the points when they perform well, irrespective of the opposition. This league always provides unexpected results and we need to be the team that performs week in, week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastern Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think it swings around. Next season in the Premier League will be tough. The poorest teams will be Brighton, Pigs and Norwich (assuming Villa go up). Championship wont be any tougher next season that this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. I was disappointed at the time but not gutted. However when Hudders then won the final that hurt. I couldn't help thinking that should have been us. It hurt far more than the piggies going up this year because we were never really in it this season. That year felt like it was ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't fantastic last year and no better this year. Don't think we need to improve that much to have a great chance next season. Need to keep Hector and Westwood and add some pace.

PeteG_1984 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I don’t think it’ll be tougher next season but I think the likes of Stoke and Swansea could be a lot stronger as well as who ever doesn’t go up out of Villa and West Brom. Leeds will probably get even closer next season then fall apart as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owltilidie Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 It’s difficult (and will be difficult again) because so many teams are of a similar standard. For same reason you don’t need to be world beaters to get promoted. Decent recruitment, a bit of luck and, most importantly, consistency is what we need. In short, “we’ve got a sniff” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greengrass Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I don't think it gets easier, the pressure increases, the expectation increases, and as we have seen yet again this year anyone can beat anyone. If we can have a season where injuries are at a minimum and can make the signings we want and need who knows we should be there or thereabouts.

Simon78 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 with Blunts and Rotherham going out the division that 4 games where the opposition aren't desperate to beat us because of their inferiorty complex. Would rather be playing Wigan at home instead of toytown whose season depends on their 2 games against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hopefully WBA will go up Villa will surely have to cut their cloth if they don’t make it Id fancy Bielsa to leave Leeds Derby will do a derby and finish between 6th and 9th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People measure it on how big they think a club is as to whether the league is easy. Disagree, those playoffs werent easy but they were there for the taking weren’t they, I’d say the semi we lost was against worse opposition than Brighton the season before. Huddersfield didn’t even score a goal in open play but every team went into their shell. I think it’s less about being easy but more about there being fewer teams who already take a guaranteed spot. For example if Newcastle had come down again it’s almost 1 of six spots already taken. West Brom would’ve been my pick for the top two this summer, but the likes of Swansea looked in trouble. Weve just seen United go up with sharp and Mcgoldrick bagging a shed load and we only turned up for a third of the season and nearly finished 9th. Just seems a more forgiving year this time around with perhaps a few too many teams having a few issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add into that the 3 sides that will fail in the play-offs plus a revitalised Swansea, Preston Forest who will probably spend again Boro who always do and it adds up to a very tough division yet again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justify that statement United ( taking out the rivalry ) have been one of the best sides in the division the last 2 seasons certainly imo the best managed yet you seem to be saying that the only decent side are Villa Absolute nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 The critical factor will be can we start well for a bloody change. Do that and we say the league will be easier this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
