Popular Post Jim Posted May 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2022 Sod what division we’re in because you can only effect the level that you are at in any given season. 53 points at home, at HOME where we’ve been notoriously sh!t for years. Scoring goals for fun and our current manager gets criticism week in, week out at a level that none of our recent managers have had. And whatever happens over the next week or two this will probably continue unfortunately? 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly rate him and are therefore confident he’ll still be here this time next year. In contrast, I’ll be surprised if he makes it to Xmas - regardless of whether we go up or not.

He’s got a fantastic squad and he contributed heavily to signing them. Now let’s see if he gets them promoted. Why not just get behind him instead of the constant digs. Remember he's a young manager still learning the ropes. He's going to make errors but in the grand scheme of things he's united the club and fans. That in it's self is a fantastic achievement. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets us up this year, he’s achieved the minimum acceptable result. Im like a stuck record but in my opinion this is easily the best squad in the division.

SwellOwl Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 A great return. It’s been a rocky ride away, but at home, Hillsborough is now a fortress. Well done Moore! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s not really evidence that can be given, it’s a football opinion. I think other teams with far inferior players have often looked far better organised than us. The Wigan manager came in and put that squad together with a few weeks notice. The MK manager has got a squad that was in relegation trouble last year to third. Alex Neil soon got the very leaky Sunderland defence sorted. My opinion of Wednesday is that we have the best players covering up the cracks. Away from home we still look shaky at the back, I find some of his selections and substitutions baffling - it’s just an opinion mate. I loved Megson, rated him highly, half the fan base seem to think he was rubbish. That’s football, opinions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a football opinion and I’m entitled to it. The main problem with football these days is expectation. You're saying that going into this season promotion was the MINIMUM expected result? In a team of free transfers and loan signings, an injury curse and a covid outbreak. A team that was used to losing, was awful at home, had just lost its promising youngsters from the previous season. When fans were openly calling for protests and the chairman to go. You think promotion was a minimum? Moore has done a simply magnificent job this season despite a huge set of obstacles, one of which is fans' expectations Edited May 1, 2022 by Sultan_Pepper 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, how many Championship clubs get relegated to League One and get back up at the first attempt? Over the last decade say, what % of those 30 relegated clubs manage it? My guess, based on absolutely nothing but instinct, is <20%. Maybe around 10%. Happy to be proven wrong. If I'm even in the right ballpark in the above... how chuffing entitled and arrogant are you are that promotion after a relegation is the minimum requirement?? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had massive injuries in defence and at times have played without a recognised centre half. The second half of the season we have been fantastic and Moore deserves all the credit for this. Not the constant nitpicking from certain fans who are desperate for him to fail, just so they can say I told you so. Sunderland have finished below us. Wigan and MK were established league 1 sides who added players to existing squads. Not having to build a complete new team. What did Megson ever achieve at Hillsborough as a manager.
