alanharper Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Top of the league, with an "easier" fixture list to come, 5 points ahead of third placed Ipswich, with a couple of games in hand. What a difference a year makes, we both went up in the end despite us relying on a play-off miracle, but now we're 43 points behind them and 62 GD worse off. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) It’s unbelievable we both came up together. They are so far ahead of us. Sell up and get out Chansiri. On another note it’s shocking we messed up automatic last season being in that position isn’t it. Again that was down to chansiri not backing the manager in January.

Athelwulf Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Ipswich played a style last season suited to the Championship, we didn't Ipswich have had continuity, and have added quality. We've had two managers since then, have not been backed, and have a squad unsuited to the current managers tactics. Ipswich have had seamless progression, we're all over the place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 They invested smart, stuck with the same manager and kicked on. We lost our manager, appointed a total dud and had a poor transfer window. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Looking at the current league 1 table, even at this stage 96 points guarantees you automatic promotion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Just now, debram said: Well who knows but I don't think he was the man to take us forward. Maybe not. I reckon he was the man to take us into this season, at least. The feelgood factor, momentum and belief he'd built was something we needed to harness as we transitioned back into the Championship. Binning all that to gamble on Muñoz has potentially relegated us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with that, guess we would have been 5 or six points better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyQuinnsQuiff Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Darren got us back into the Championship at his second attempt. He left. He had a poor return at Udders and now he’s walking the tight rope at Port Vale. I have nothing but admiration for him as a manager trying his best. I was hoping that he’d have been given a chance to at least give it a go this season, but it was not to be. Let’s just leave the guy in peace. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeyswfc Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Utter shambles we didn’t win the league. At least we still went up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore gives his post-match thoughts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hk3s9b Who'd have thought on that sunny Wembley day that both he and we would all be in this poo? Unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Ha! I'm not wasting my time listening to the Port Vale manager's post match interview! He's made some odd career choices since leaving here, but it doesn't alter the very good job he did for our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we should know. We've been snorkelling in it long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been snorkelling in it long enough. Yeah, it's a crazy game at times. Last season's promotion is very bittersweet for me, given the absolute horror show which followed. I've not looked back at the 'Record Breakers' book I pre-ordered, as it all feels so hollow and I just keep reflecting on how all that optimism and hope was squandered by our chairman. Perhaps if Röhl can pull off the great escape and keep us in the division we worked so hard to get into in the first place, I might feel different.
