We are and our starting 11 is up there with the best-unfortunately the drop off when one of our big hitters gets injured is the issue.Where I would be absolutely gutted if we didn’t make a sustained and serious assault on the autos… this league on what we have seen so far is there for the taking, some underperforming big sides and some absolute dross
Genuinely believe on our day we are the best team in the division
You could say that about any side in world football when they have injuries to key playersWe are and our starting 11 is up there with the best-unfortunately the drop off when one of our big hitters gets injured is the issue.
Play-Offs should be the minimum expectation with what we have at our disposal in all honesty and I’d go as far as saying if we fell short of the Top 6 it would be a huge failure to be honestDon’t think we’ll have any problems amassing home points. Away I’d like us to take a higher % of our chances. We’ll definitely be there or thereabouts re the play offs.
Yea, if we lose Rudoni and EMC we'd be in big trouble ........ oh hang on ....We are and our starting 11 is up there with the best-unfortunately the drop off when one of our big hitters gets injured is the issue.
We've got a team we should believe in, but you've only got to look at the Millwall thread to see how many fuckin wets would settle for a point before a balls even been kicked.Play-Offs should be the minimum expectation with what we have at our disposal in all honesty and I’d go as far as saying if we fell short of the Top 6 it would be a huge failure to be honest
This is not the old Coventry City - We are not the plucky little underdog we were a couple of seasons ago, we have laid out a lot of money over the last few seasons, knocked back approaches for some of our top talent who are being coached by a top manager and backroom staff
I can’t explain it but something feels different about this season and I just think we have a major opportunity this season to do something special
Its not just been 7 games though has it, its been 10 months since Lampard took over.I know you mean well, but this is the kind of thread we would mock fans of other clubs for starting after seven games.
We might well lose tomorrow, it’s a tough game and of course over the course of the season we are going to lose matchesWe've got a team we should believe in, but you've only got to look at the Millwall thread to see how many fuckin wets would settle for a point before a balls even been kicked.
Bunch of pussies all of them.
And if your auntie had bollocks she'd be on top of your uncleIt is also how I feel but then you look at the table and realise that if Millwall in 11th beat us tomorrow they go above us straight to 3rd. It’s still so early!
I don’t ’expect’ anything - But we cannot keep living off the fact that we have come from the doldrums, that was an old-CCFC under an old regime still scarred from years of turmoilIt should be a dream
It shouldn't be an expectation
It's not dwelling, not my part anywayI don’t ’expect’ anything - But we cannot keep living off the fact that we have come from the doldrums, that was an old-CCFC under an old regime still scarred from years of turmoil
The 2023 side was in all honesty, a side of limited players who were performing admirably above their ceiling that had two tremendous footballers at this level to supplement them - Led by a manager who had no real experience of anything above the mid-to-lower table of the Championship who had built the club from scratch from the bottom
This side has had a lot of money spent on it, has been crafted by the owner, head coach and recruitment department to take us to the Premier League and is being lead by one of the biggest names in the sport who has been exposed to elite level football as a player and coach
The League 1/2 days are and will always be a part of our history but we can’t keep dwelling on them, it’s the past - The ambition around the club has changed and I will say this, I reckon there would be a lot of fans of other clubs in this division who would view our season as a bit of a failure if we were not bang in the mix this season
I just sense a bloody good opportunity!It's not dwelling, not my part anyway
It just shouldn't be an expectation. Maybe for parachute clubs but not us. Winning a league or finishing runners up isn't easy and it shouldn't be expected
But hope or even quiet confidence it might happen it is fine
I don't disagree that it's a bloody good opportunity!I just sense a bloody good opportunity!
Two sides hit 100 points last season
Leicester/Ipswich/Leeds/Shampton were by far and away head and shoulders above anyone the season before that
2022/23 granted could have been different had it not been for our disrupted start to the season
The year before that Fulham again were very good
3 out of the last 4 seasons the autos have been pretty ring fenced but I just don’t see that as the case this season and really hope we can grasp the opportunity
My bedroom activity succinctly described in two sentencesProblem with this thinking is that when we lose a couple games, which we inevitably will, it open up for massive overreactions about how bad we are.
We’ve had a good start, let’s just see how long we can maintain that for.
