GMOwl72 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 We are a million miles away from the Prem. Don’t think we have bottomed out yet either, points deduction or no points deduction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 And yet we drew with both of them this season. We aren't miles off, the margins in this league are incredibly tight. Thing is there are about 16 teams every year who think they can go up, and are all scrapping for the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 They have top players with the right attitude and managers who play a style to get the best out of them. We had top players but with the wrong attitude and a crap manager with no style who has either alienated or got rid of them.

TaxiMark Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 1 hour ago, ChapSmurf said: I hate to say this, but I saw this next period coming back in October 2018. I actually made the prediction to the guys I go to the games with and sadly, it's come true. I quoted a few teams at the time, especially Derby, and also L**ds, and yet they have both progressed - L**ds sadly being the second ugly sister going to the ball. However, if we look at what PNE have achieved over the last few seasons, all is not lost. Far from it. Look at Millwall this season, and Blackburn too. I know this is an obvious statement, and maybe hard to achieve in one season, but with the right recruitment, with the right blend of experience, youthful energy and without a doubt, players with a footballing brain, all is not lost. Cinderella will get her chance. Cinderella is now 55 and still cant pull tho mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can of shows where we could have been had we got the correct manager who played to the teams strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlett Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 We are going NOWHERE until we have an owner who actually knows something about football. Our present incumbent is absolutely clueless about the game, or appointing the right people in the right departments. Doyen have taken us and Chansiri to the cleaners completely. The players should be the responsibility of the Manager - the Manager should be the responsibility of the Owner. We have a hopeless owner at present. Nothing will happen until he sells up to someone else who actually knows what they are doing. Be that in the next year, 5 years 10 years. With Chansiri nothing will change except a long slow decline in this club. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a major rebuild to come this summer in terms of transfers as will be the case for a fair few clubs at this level. Time will tell if we are able to improve, can't get much worse than the past 7 months though can we? Yeah,the last 5 Years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football can quickly change. i was watching an archived Sky 2015 Championship review last night, Wolves featured quite heavily having just got promoted from League 1. Not drawing comparisons. Just showing how quickly things can change in football. To be tipping us for relegation next year before we have any clue as what the team will be, just reflects the pathetic attitude of the "May as well give in now" brigade. We also saw it when people were saying DC should just keel over & accept the EFL verdict rather than challenge it. You wouldn't want to be relying on them with something more serious. Imagine them in the Falklands, we're miles from home & surrounded by Argies. "Ah sod it, we've got no chance, let have have Port Stanley". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Cardiff looked miles off us when we played them down there this last season. Another game we should have put to bed in first half. I didn't think Cardiff were very good last night either, Fulham were much better. I expect Brentford to turn other tie around which should make for a good final.

How far would you say we were away "in terms of quality, application and tactics" from the top teams in 2015 when we finished as no hopers in 15th? And yet the year after we were a gnats away from getting promotion. I love the Goldfish mentality on here, where people's memories don't extend beyond 7 seconds. The situation NOW, may not be the situation AT THE END OF NEXT SEASON. Things change rapidly. ALL THE TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
