ITV cameras just panned to the empty seats again. Disgraceful for an FA Cup Semi

W19 D9 L17 is infinitely better than W17 D13 L15 The only thing that matters is the amount of points

What do you call 19 wins?

Everyone else was poor then though. The standard of 80s football was really low, so we were lucky it seems

The team of 87 that won the FA cup wasn’t very good then

Statistically it’s the best second division in the world. When you say we’re poor, who/what are you comparing us to? Because you seem to agree that there aren’t currently 6 teams better than us. So I’m confused as to what you’re using as a benchmark

Perhaps the other teams are actually quite good and so countered our performances?

So that’s another poor team in the playoffs. Presumably you also think Sunderland are poor/lucky with the run they’ve been on? Sheff Utd must be as well after throwing away autos?

Your idea of a league table in a “good league” seems to be one where the top teams win every game and so there would be a massive points difference between 8th & 9th

I mean it’s true if you ignore all the stats showing it as the best second tier in the world

Should Bristol City have it sewn up by now?

But that’s the whole point of a league. It doesn’t matter how bad we are so long as we’re better than 18 other teams. I could claim Leeds are shite, and are only there because everyone else is worse

The point I’m making is for every lucky win, there is an unlucky defeat, and that balances out over a season. We deserve to be in the playoffs after 45 games because we are in the playoffs after 45 games. You say we don’t look like a top 6 team, which 6 teams do you think are better than us?

I don’t think people realise how easily we could’ve fallen apart this season.

We have been very unlucky this season Luton last minute goal conceded Sheff w at home last minute goal conceded Norwich away 2 last minute goals conceded See how it works?

Rudoni won’t be go be going anywhere, he’s only been here a year. The rest are fairly easily replaceable if we get a good enough fee

That’s how a league table works. You just have to be better than your opponents. Also, rather insulting that you claim our position is down to luck. A league position after 45 games is nothing to do with luck. The table doesn’t lie

Regardless of what happens next week, we’ve finished the season as serious play off contenders. For 8 of the last 10 seasons now we’ve finished in the top half of whatever division we’ve been in. Considering the utter misery that used to surround us, we’ve done well

I never said everything that Robins signed in 2023 was shite.
