Think we've upgraded substantially in several positions too tbh

Plus squad depth is much improved , we are much more a coherent unit

Squad depth difference is huge.

Today we were bringing on Simms, Allen and Dasilva.

Last year it was Maguire, Howley and Walker etc.

Funny what a contract requirement can do.

Could well be, could also argue that he is fulfilling the promise shown. Either way he is an asset, I'd be sad to see him go (which he probably will).

Said a lot of very silly things about this team at the start of the season which obviously looks very stupid now. I know I have a bit of a rep on here for being very negative and I know I can get very caught up in the heat of the moment when things aren’t going well, but my 2024 SBT New Year’s resolution is to be more positive so please hold me to that.

Fair play to Evo, Fernando and the others who saw the potential in this team early doors, you lads had a blinder. This is a squad that is going places and will only get better. Premier League here we come.

Was going to post something similar. I never bought in to the ludicrous negativity on here from people who really can't judge players or see the big picture, and I bloody love this team.

I'd go even further now and say that I bloody love this team* more than any we've had outside the top flight.

Also clear that then players have bought into the culture with the fans and there's a real togetherness again .. Milan is great genuinely what a player , up against a real talent today and did well

I said at the start of the season we'd be nowhere near the relegation zone and have maintained we will just miss out on the playoffs but I'm starting to think I have been pessimistic!

Torp would have been impressed. Hope he now realizes what levels he needs to reach, does so quickly and integrates into the fold. COH agreeing terms will also be a massive shot in the arm.

I completely agree we’ve upgraded in lots of positions both in what you’d call starters and depth. We’re certainly better at RB and CB in terms of Kitching who is pure class. I think you have to aggregate “attack” and I’d say Sakamoto, Wright and Simms equal Gyokeres and Hamer. But then you have good depth through Collins, Lati and Dasilva. Then there is Torp.

I think we also have to factor in the quality in this division is so much higher this season IMO , some serious money thrown about and some serious players and teams in the league .

Leeds , saints and Leicester better than the 3 that went up , and the 3 that came up from league 1 , well 1 of them is really good ..

Teams like Hull, West brom, boro and City and Sunderland all strong

Teams like Norwich and Watford with obvious quality .

5 points better off after 27 games ..

We're one stupid free-kick vs Swansea away from 6 wins in a row in all comps. Played Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Leicester in that.

To be fair , some of the games earlier in the season where we just couldn't score , we could just as easily be sat above west brom right now

I think what happened needed to happen for Robins to fall on this far superior formation. We threw away some horrendous points but its all good.

Leicester first game and West Brom at home come to mind immediately.

Rotherham was a shit show aswell that we should have won - 9 dropped points right there

As a draw always feels like a defeat to me, I’m enjoying the current form.

Depends how it comes. A point is a point but if we're behind and draw it feels like a win, if we're ahead and draw it feels like a loss, but I'd always rather score first. If we'd come out 1-1 today I think it would've still been positive round here now.

Since that game at PNE:
P12 W7 D4 L1, Scored 22 Conceded 8

As Brent would say, if we're heading in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.

I’ve watched Cov for over 60 years and this squad has the potential of being the best and that’s counting 34 years in the top division, it isn’t the best team…..yet but as a squad we have 18 players a lot inter-interchangeable and the team is just as strong.
And it will improve.
We will improve too, money to spend plus four loan spots.
The potential is tremendous.

And don’t forget Swansea still wrankles me now, and didn’t Rotherham equalise with more or less the last kick, that’s ten points.

If only we didn’t concede against Swansea we’d be sitting a lot more comfortably in 5th running away from the rest

I think even if we miss out on the play-offs this year, if we carry on like this I’d still see it as a season of progression, personally.
