I completely agree. 33 years I have supported the club and this has definitely been the most gut wrenching time I can remember. Watching us play this season up until the end of November was an absolute joy, unrivaled by anything since 1998 imo. You started to sense the buzz on matchday that...
We have only had ONE top TEN finish in the last 26 (probably 27 in a couple of months). That for me is a worse statistic than no top 6 finish in 47.
Throw in 2 relegations, being forced to play in fucking Northampton, and renting the stadium that was built for us from a London rugby club.
And...
Why would our recent form now be relevant in our first play-off game should we get there? Surely the form we show from here to the end of the season to get into the play-offs (should we do it) would be more relevant?
For the hell of it, the best side out of that lot;
Murphy
Christie, Turner, Pennington, Stokes
Baker, Fleck, Vincelot, Moussa
Wilson, Armstrong
Subs
O'Brien
Murphy
Maddison
Clarke
Martin
Reda
RCC
We'd have won the league already with that lot.
Thought we were comfortably the betters side against Burton until Phillips confirmed my suspicion that he should be nowhere near our 1st team. Or 2nd for that matter.
Has anybody else noticed the similarities between this season and 83/84? Our high point arrived on 10/Dec 83 we battered Liverpool at HR to sit 4th in the league. After that we barely won a game and stayed up on the last game of the season;
Upto and including the Liverpool game P17, W9, D4...
I am hoping the new shirt is lighter than it looks in the picture. I guess the white trim looks a bit wider on the actual shirt as well. The badge looks slightly bigger on the new one, maybe.
Never saw the original in action as before my lifetime.
