I don't think not being bothered about finishing second means aiming for it
I don't think not being bothered about finishing second means aiming for itMaybe for you. I’ve seen us in the PL, I haven’t celebrated a title win. Aim for second and you might end up third. It’s a stupid take IMO.
That terrible away form has turned a romp to promotion into a scrap. With that added context, the emotion if we get over the line will be enormous regardless of how it's achieved.I mean... I'd like to win the league too but the celebrations for getting promoted will be pretty much the same regardless of position. I think i'd cry, 1st, 2nd, play off winners, whatever.

Nailed on West Brom win then.Just had a look at their league games so far this year. Played 8, won absolutely zero, drawn 3 lost 5 and scored a massive 4 goals. Their last 2 games have been 0-0
Yet every time someone says they want to win the league you cunts all pop out the woodwork to bang on about it. I didn’t even say in that post I did, just that if we wanted to we should be beating teams Boro did. But oh no got to virtue signal about how you’d take second and you don’t care about winning the league. Fuck off the lot of you. Probably banged on about how you were happy our goal against Man Utd was ruled out cos we’d have lost to Man City anyway. Winning things is good actually.
I want us to win the league. I want us to have that trophy. That in the bag alone is a fantastic achievement for us this century. Creeping up to the Prem 2nd or 3rd wouldn’t be a disaster either but then I have mixed feelings about that ball bag of a division. Everything swayed to the top 6 super clubs, ticket prices prohibitive to many, ground full of wankers just attracted by the big clubs coming to town. Probably getting spanked most weeks like cannon fodder to the super rich….just not convinced it would be that much fun if you only go to watch Cov City like me 🩵
Yes the majority of STs would be renewals but can you imagine the corporate side and the people trying to get match day ticketsWould think the vast majority of home fans would be season ticket renewals.
No point worrying just yet.
Let's go for it, although I have fallen into the any promotion will do, but I do feel when you start lowering your sights you never know the outcome.I want us to win the league.

Has anyone ever said that finishing 2nd is creeping up to the Premier though?I want us to win the league. I want us to have that trophy.

Before we played Middlesbrough they had won their last 6 games including against the Blunts. We're so lucky to have a player like Onyeka who showed how good he is in the Prem until Brentford replaced him with big money signings.Before they played Boro last week, they were top of/the best side in the league over the last 15 games.
Who is aiming for 2nd? We're aiming to win as many games as we can and that's all we can do. Middlesbrough won 6 on the bounce and could go on a run like that again. Thinking anything differently is being too confident. But saying you'd be happy with 2nd isn't giving up on 1st. Giving up on 1st would have been giving up on beating Middlesbrough last game.Maybe for you. I’ve seen us in the PL, I haven’t celebrated a title win. Aim for second and you might end up third. It’s a stupid take IMO.

It's a funny old game.Has anyone ever said that finishing 2nd is creeping up to the Premier though?
I have never heard that. Finishing 6th and through the playoffs, yeah, but not for finishing second and runners up.
Second is guaranteed promotion and that's good enough for me .
Don't think anyone is saying let's not try and finish top. We should, of course. But 2nd would still be amazing and a fantastic achievement.
Wouldn't see it as falling short on any level.
Top 2 and I will be dancing geriatrically dancing round the front room.
It's what they have done the last 2 games with 0-0 each time. This year so far 8 games 5 defeats 3 draws. Scored 4 goals. Would love to see them attack us as we would take them to the cleaners, but the teams near the bottom are as hard to beat as those near the top of the table. You only have to look back as far as Oxford as an example.West Brom are getting to the stage where a point isn't enough for them at home. They can't just park the bus and hope for a nil nil.
Us saying 2nd is acceptable isn't our players accepting 2nd. Of course they want to go up as champions of the Championship. Our last game against Middlesbrough showed how much it means to them.Let's go for it, although I have fallen into the any promotion will do, but I do feel when you start lowering your sights you never know the outcome.
That's the point many seem to be missing. The aim this season was to get Promotion although most couldn't see it happening. But because we totally exceed their expectations in the 1st half of the season anything but 1st is now seen as a disaster.Has anyone ever said that finishing 2nd is creeping up to the Premier though?

But would you take second?Yet every time someone says they want to win the league you cunts all pop out the woodwork to bang on about it.

Maybe, but another draw wouldn't be bad at all for them in realityWest Brom are getting to the stage where a point isn't enough for them at home. They can't just park the bus and hope for a nil nil.
I’ve also seen us in the Premier league.Maybe for you. I’ve seen us in the PL, I haven’t celebrated a title win. Aim for second and you might end up third. It’s a stupid take IMO.
Exactly.I’ve also seen us in the Premier league.
At no point am I suggesting aim for second, I’m simply saying finishing in the top 2 is the ultimate goal, the title would be a bonus.
It is different. They have so many times been a better side when we have played them and we have been the underdogs.The seasons of going to the hawthorns & usually coming away with nothing, is changing.
They are flirting with relegation & like when we were suffering relegation & league 1 & 2 seasons ago, let’s pile the pressure on them for a change .
Let’s have a party when we beat them & show our renewed class .

He went off injured against Derby the other weekI looked on their website - no mention in their prospective teams of Grant who normally scores against us ?

Calling people cunts and telling everyone to fuck off, that is perhaps an overreaction to people saying they would be happy to finish 2nd and get promoted. Why does it matter what other people want?Yet every time someone says they want to win the league you cunts all pop out the woodwork to bang on about it.

We have had a major wobble in our performances and results and I think most people are realistic that winning the league will be difficult. I don't care that much how we go up, although would prefer to avoid playoffs.
