The End of the Beginning and the Beginning of the end
GrahamC replied to Silvio Dante's topic in Football Chat
I don’t think we should underestimate what getting 12 more points from here would actually mean. 59 points is exactly the number we managed last season, I mean they couldn’t possibly be that small minded, could they? As has already been said, it just seems like muddled thinking. What if we won 3 drew 2 & lost 3, but the defeats were all performances like the loss at Southampton? What if the 3 wins were all like Swansea? I was actually far more encouraged by the Ipswich loss than I was by the Swansea win. Either they think he’s the bloke to take us forward or not, obviously if we lost the lot (we won’t) that is different, but this alleged ultimatum strikes me as the antithesis of leadership. -
Agree, 2 excellent pundits. Far higher calibre of conversation, shame the presenter was so so, felt Owers & Piercy sort of ignored him at times & had their own (excellent) chat. Love Owers, he’s basically an adopted Bristolian.

This. Plus their owner being a massive crook, who has to be about as “fit & proper” a person to own an English club as Roman Abramovich was.

Plymouth & Sunderland are both in abysmal form, a team doing well they would relish these fixtures..
-
Come back on here when he does & discuss if you’re so confident, mate. As likely as us being relegated.

Just a few observations; Firstly fair play @headhunter for your commitment to this podcast even on your birthday weekend. Secondly did Ian seriously say about Mebude that he was someone we could bring in “on a free”? Westerlo paid a million for him, they might have realised their error already but no way are they suddenly giving him away. Also he was disingenuous on the injury issue, the Cardiff game aside it was significantly better over time during Pearson’s spell, especially once you exclude the 2 players understandably missing through ACL injuries. He was spot on re Naismith though. There are a significant number of squad players with very decent availability records, our greater problem here is running 2 senior players light.

Also, the counter factual is to release ST promotional material without the current head coach featuring, no club does that.

Did an amazing job at Aberdeen.. Would be futile to bring in a 75 year old who buggers off every few months.

Reckon Plymouth is the more likely barometer. Most expect Leicester to beat us, the way we set up we look to stay in games rather than win them, so a 2-0 defeat say, is nothing. Argyle haven’t won at home since January & have failed to score in their last 4 home games, a defeat there will have far greater impact.

That’s Randy Crawford (what a voice), I think we’re getting our Randys mixed up, which is definitely a Carry On sketch..
-
Or 2014/15..
-
Reckon he gets the next two, whether we like that or not. However to quote Randy Newman “I’ve been wrong before”..
-
Peak Fans Forum activity to rush to tell the club that you’ve renewed. Like they really care, apart from having your money.

Bottom 3 in 2024 table - Tinnion defend this (sackable)

Fair play to him for stepping up & making a side that made the playoffs two years running then finish 7th, eh? Real progress. Ward, GJ & Cotterill all got us automatically promoted in their first full season.
