Meh Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Look don’t like facts get in the way. According to the rose tinted brigade it has been a great season. And don’t forget we had a cup run where we beat prem teams and gave the best team in the country a decent run for their money so even though nobody but city fans will even remember that in 3 months time it has been a great season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please show me the posts claiming that the United win alone means the season was successful. Hint: “No one will be able to take away that win” or posts along those lines does not imply the season was successful. Simply that it was a very high point. Over to you.

Doesnt mean you have to accept inadequacies which we have all, if you open your eyes, both during the transfer window and after, seen during the months since. Yesterday we played some fantastic football. Brilliant infact and there is credit for that ( although its been way too long since weve played that way ), Yet we sit here having scored 5 goals since god knows when in the championship, having not managed to see a game out due to LJ’s shocking tactics again. He doesnt learn. last summer they said theyd sat down and looked at what needed to be learnt from. Well lets hope he learns how to see a game out because i cant see how he knows how to!

Certainly if we keep most of our key players this summer- and that's a big if- then we have a solid Championship squad IMO. Working on the premise that we keep Flint, Bryan, Pack and Reid though.

Just my own personal opinion on success, what constitutes success and if you class anything like whats going on as success then it will basically never arrive as this is not success. Its a little bit like ‘its the taking part that counts’. Absolutely not. Its about winning. Even more so at a professional level. Ive always really disliked people who like to ‘take part’. If you have any personal or in this case, professional pride, you will want to win and be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who accept whats going on as success will never know what success will be. Low standards! Ah I see now you’re talking about the “cup run etc” rather than just the win against United. That’s a different statement. I don’t see anyone claiming the season is a success because of one win against United. However, the run the semi finals of the league cup - beating four PL along the way - was certainly a decent achievement. If some are saying that overall the season can be considered broadly successful because of an excellent cup run and a top 10 finish, then I think that’s a reasonable claim. That’s not to say the post-Christmas decline hasn’t been anything other than a great disappointment. It has, and it shouldn’t have happened. But don’t go accusing people of low standards just because they are able to take a broader view on our progress that now extends to four consecutive seasons of league position improvement. Not many clubs can make that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
