Ha, did we? Fair enough, I've completely forgotten that.We got into the play-offs or just outside them after winning 1-0 away at Peterborough during Coleman’s 3rd season- obviously we didn’t win again for the rest of it.
Ironically, the exactly type/positions we need right now.Snap your hand off for Dann, Fox and Gunnarsson right now.
I think it was probably around March time and CC was sacked a couple of months later. We were hardly convincing to be fair.Ha, did we? Fair enough, I've completely forgotten that.
Ps. Thanks a lot Robbings.This season is going to be a non-event, we’ll pick the odd win up here and there and for me plod around anywhere between 13th and 18th - We were hoodwinked into thinking this was a side ready to challenge in the summer, for whatever reason it hasn’t materialised
Just looking forward to it being over tbh, as long as we don’t end up getting sucked into a relegation battle I’m happy to let Lampard plod along to the summer, work out who he wants to keep and experiment and let him put his own stamp on the club
Damp squib of a season and tbf with the rollercoaster of the last few years we were probably due one
Everything coming out of Stoke City sounds positive at the moment with this new appointment.Just watched the Mark Robins Stoke City press conference.
Fucking gutted, he should be still at our club. Couldn't give a fuck about how we start, Robins new the club. The fans, the city and was the backbone of our club.
There feels like a hole in the club is still there. There's no connection with the iPad tracksuits and let's be honest there hasn't been any improvement.
Are you backing Plymouth for promotion then?Didn't forest get promoted after being bottom at christmas or something?
The transfer window has been open for less than 3 days - give them a chance! Stoke are hardly a bastion of stability; his comments about the owners were just meaningless soundbites.Everything coming out of Stoke City sounds positive at the moment with this new appointment.
That's quite a massive difference to what it sounds like on here, we've got a new manager that no one really wanted or needed, there's been very little by way of a new manager "bounce" and now we are being told not to expect much in the way of incomings this January.
It sounds like Doug has scrapped plan A and replaced it with a less experienced plan A.
What the fuck was the point if we don't change the failing "Deck" we need to bring in 2 or 3 quality additions (loans will do) ASAP.
Missing the point. Can't say the season is definitely over.Are you backing Plymouth for promotion then?
TBF to Coleman etc every era has the odd high spot. I seem to recall a couple of decent fa cup games (Blackburn Rovers?), clinging on for a point against wolves with a westwood penalty save... battling for a point against Preston... err... I'm struggling - it was a long time ago.I think it was probably around March time and CC was sacked a couple of months later. We were hardly convincing to be fair.
Christ - season over?? We’ve been in L2, not played in the city. Had points deductions. Not paid a transfer fee in years. Not sold anyone for more than tuppence. Enjoy where we are, it’s night and day to the recent past.
3 points in this one.clinging on for a point against wolves with a westwood penalty save
3 points was it? My memory isn't what it was. Remember it was a great moment though.3 points in this one.
For me, it's the slowness of our play and the preponderance of sideways and backwards passing that's left me feeling deflated. It's kind of ruined the pre-match excitement for me. I expected more freshness and new leaf type excitement with a new manager. Boxing Day showed how it could be different though, plus EMC's good form under Lampard.
You’re right let’s all sing a song from a Hollywood musicalNot all Wembley and singing Enemy shite you know
I think it's more there were genuine expectations this year.I think some of the newer (for want of a better word) fans have been a bit spoilt, so now they're crying a little.
They got Robins sacked which is one thing. They’re busy trying it with his replacement too.King, Robins, pundits, bookies all had high hopes for this season, and were all quite vocal about it in the summer. And too many individuals have let the whole thing down.
Not sure many fans were sucked in and consumed by all the talk per se, but with all the noise we felt we could at least believe in a successful season. No wonder we feel let down. Fuck knows when my next away day will be because at the moment I’m not up to putting any more miles or money into it, certainly with how fuming I was leaving Portsmouth the other week. A team has to earn the level of support that this fanbase is capable of, imo they don’t deserve it right now.
At least in the past we knew to expect garbage and we got on with it, mostly there was never any genuine belief that we were going to positively achieve then, in the SISU days.
Regression was never gonna feel good after 8 good years.
Same problems are there on the pitch that were before Robins was sacked - the worrying thing is now they look significantly weaker. I won’t be judging Lampard until he’s had the summer at least.
I was there when it was shit and I never want to return to those days
But it doesn’t take away from how dull this season has been, like a flat pint of Carling
Oh for heaven's sake, we're meant to be supporters; the clue is in the name. If a friend of yours was going through a difficult time would you decide not to go and see him so often? If you're a glory hunter then you've picked the wrong prey. Get supporting!

Nearly, then got 6 loans in I think. Pretty sure that is going to happen.Didn't forest get promoted after being bottom at christmas or something?
Trouble with Mifsud he went right every single time and got found out. Maybe a better coach could have sorted that.Mifsud and Best was it? They were both streaky but I'd take both of those in the current squad too tbf.
If Mifsud was managed better he'd have been class.
Edit: not sure why Clints post is also quoted.
How lucky were we that season. At Stoke, Painter I think missed a pen then we bought him. Everton (already Champions) were so far on the beach when we played them, they might as well have been wearing sunglasses. They played as if they were.I remember, fondly as it happens, at the end of the 84/85 season when we had to win our last three games, the final match against the Champions, to ensure our survival. We did it and it was bloody great!
As you said we've had some shocking times recently. What's happening now is nothing compared to your examples in our recent history.

It's a rollercoaster ride folks, so strap in!
Who the fuck drinks Carling these days???I was there when it was shit and I never want to return to those days

Pearce scored our pen & Stoke missed theirs .Luton game Killer scored late on and Everton were already on the " beach " when we played them.How lucky were we that season.
