Bristol Oil Services Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Bigger budget teams do not have it all their own way, not over 90 minutes. It is not a "given." Brighton beat Man Utd. Bournemouth beat West Ham. Millwall beat Derby. Preston draw with Stoke. Ipswich draw with Villa. Wigan draw with Forest. The tortoise beats the hare. Always worth keeping in mind, football is constantly throwing up examples of smaller budget teams finding a way to compete with bigger budget ones, over 90 minutes. If we failed to do so yesterday, perhaps we were going about it the wrong way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet that come the end of the season Man U will finish above Brighton West Ham will finish above Bournemouth Derby will finish Above Milwall Stoke will finish above Preston Villa will finish above Ipswich Forest will finish above Wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coach Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 It's not just about "smaller budget teams". It's also about clubs that are ran well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally it works out to be the bigger budget teams who come out on top.. We beat Man United last year, going by your theory, we should be top 4 Orem team yes?

If that were always the case, then Preston, Millwall, Brentford, Sheffield Utd, ourselves and Ipswich would not have finished above Leeds, Norwich, Sheffield Weds, Hull and Sunderland last season. You wouldn't have bet on that a year ago. We lost yesterday, first and foremost, in my opinion, because of our deficiencies and errors, and quite possibly, our frame of mind. And our missing players. There are many things we can do much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many things we can do much better. We lost yesterday i.m.o because we weren't good enough to make them break sweat and... we haven't got adequate back up in defence and in attack for Fam who apparently is going to save our season when he returns (just after which we will cash in on him) The things we can do much better? that will be buying better players and employing a better manager. The above will cost quite a few million....oh for a rich owner ....oh wait a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
