That ten game run was great fun, but come on are you saying we looked great? I think we’ll have a fun season and might make play offs. But I’m not seeing a team about to do a Sunderland without some serious surgery (like more than Doug would spend), or a step change in our tactics and set up.

Well see. Jury is out for me. We seem to be up for some big games but out thought and out fought in others. I’m willing to believe this deck is mentally weak and overall has quite a low ceiling. I’m just not seeing much from Lampard that he’s capable of a push for 4th over a season. I think...

Im not! Im using the two thirds of his games outside his purple patch. I don’t see a team about to storm the league. Maybe im wrong.

It’s more 1.5 than 2 or 1. We’re an upper midtable side. I don’t expect us to go further without an improvement in either squad quality or managerial nous.

Im using your numbers! 🤣 People have in fact been calling last season a poor season. But we’ve hit about 1.5ppg the last four years (including this season). Maybe that’s just our level?

The season isn’t a failure. We’re a 5-10th level team and like all the others (Boro, WBA, Norwich, Millwall) will finish around there give or take the odd result.

Do a Sunderland and be crap for the second half instead? I don’t think we’ve got the funds to build a squad that can go all year tbh.

And I’m confident we wouldn’t have collapsed without the VAR decision last season but we did and that’s football. Ultimately where you end up is all that matters.

58-69 points is pretty much 5-10th. It’s roughly where we’ve been since our first season up.

Hmmm. Puts it down partly to a bigger gulf between promoted teams and the rest and then just goes “must be better cos coaching and strikers lol” rather than actually answering the question of what the difference between shots taken is across the different leagues. Shame because it was going well...

If we finish sixth I think we get done at Sheff Utd in the semis. Save us Preston you’re our only hope.

Yeah but iFollow didn’t exist so I didn’t give a fuck.

I’ve just got a feeling if we sneak fifth we win the POs. 🤫 tho

If you think we’ll hit that form twice a season I guess. It triggers a few in here but it’s a fact that he’s had ten games pretty poor ten games unbelievable then back to pretty poor for ten games. At the moment the ten game purple patch looks more the exception than the rule. I think we’ll be...

It’s the fucking pass pass pass with zero movement or intention. Most teams can’t do it and end up like us just farting about by the halfway line all game.

Fewer. It all depends on where you see the level of the squad I guess. I said at the time if King is right that Robins should go then the squads natural level is about where we are. I was called a crazed Lampard hater for it and told we could only expect bottom half because the players we’d...

World class literally just means one of the best in the world. Two people isn’t a class you can’t have just Ronaldo and Messi. This is like “club legend” people get weirdly defensive about it. If you’re playing top level football consistently you’re world class.

And I thought that was dull too. Fine if you like it I just find modern football a bit boring mostly.

I think Pep definitely brought in a more stale way of playing. TBH watching us tap it around the box in a U is painful.

Mbappe comes off as mostly PR. Individual talent has been eradicated from the game. Look what happened to Grealish. How often we shoot from distance or take a man on. Ballon d’Or will probably be for pass completion in ten years.
