It's not the fairy-tale it's made out to be, but it's still an achievement. You've got to win the games.

However you dress it up, three back-to-back promotions is noteworthy. But our rise from the basement to the top end of the Championship with what we had to contend with is significantly more impressive from a footballing point of view.

The main thing that bothers me about it is that it's portrayed as some sort of fairy-tale. The reality of course is that they're just another bank-rolled club able to outspend their opponents. Nothing fairy-tale about that. Their fans are going to be insufferable, because that's what fans are...

So we're bang average away from home. That's kind of the point, isn't it? 'Poor' is a relative term, and it's not unreasonable to argue that a team with serious top 6 aspirations needs significantly better away form. If we do miss out, it will be because of the away form over the season as a...

Dovin getting injured is one of the factors. Poor goalkeeping has only been a contributing factor to a very mediocre away record, though, and that's ultimately what's held us back. On the whole, I do not think we have been good enough overall this season. You can't lay it all at Brad Collins'...

Same. I also recall his Norwich sides getting relegated without a fight.

That kick off! 🤣🤣🤣

Acknowledging you're a bell-end isn't the same as caring that you're a bell-end.

Add the words 'needlessly snarky', to the above and that's your entire posting history neatly summed up.

The Walsh save was absolutely top drawer.

Is the reason you act the way you do because nobody has ever said, 'yeah, ok then, could be fun', when you've said that to them? Because let's be honest, you do come across very much like someone who's never seen another human being naked.

There's always two or three teams who run away with it (usually the parachute teams), but normally there are also a handful of other teams that are above the rest. This season from that latter group there's only been Sunderland (and even they've crashed of late), with there not being much...

That was a very fair point about wanting to install his tactics, and may go some to explain his perceived rigidity.

Doesn't he always come against Luton? Sure the league game when he first came was that 1-1 when Godden scored for us. Then the play-off final (which was also a draw, though the ultimate outcome was a loss). You'd think he'd want to see us play someone else. A penchant for watching us struggle...

I've always seen that as a continental trait. Dovin's incredibly young for a keeper, and has come from a much less demanding league. I'd expect this kind of thing to improve with him relatively quickly. A good keeper knows when to punch and when to catch.
