pl00peh91 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Most pundits had us down as relegation candidates at the start of the season, really good season with some amazing memories especially if you go to away games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedred31 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Agree with the OP. My view of LJ has improved steadily. He’s lost his best striker 3 close seasons in a row. Last Summer 11 players moved on, including the 3 best and 3 others that were decent ish. While it’s natural to want to go up, 18 wins out of 44 is not a springboard for a happy Premier league experience. Amidst all the ups and downs, however, is the stark fact that we still haven’t equalled last seasons points total. With a chairman demanding improvement, these last two (very loseable ) away games are very important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are actually a very good team, we need to shake this underdog mentality we are better than this. We have punched above our weight. We sold three of our most experienced players, including one of the loudest voices in the dressing room and our best goalscorer, and replaced two of them with a Cheltenham Town striker, and someone who's never played above League 1 before. We've had our best midfielder missing for most of the season. Financially we are a bottom-half club, I think being so streaky makes us think we can be as good as those ridiculous winning runs all the time, but in reality there are bigger and better teams in the Championship than us and a top-eight finish is pretty good.

Chappers Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Think we have done really well after losing 3 key players. Didn’t help having 10 games in 5 weeks at the end of the season, mostly with an inexperienced keeper. Onwards and whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SedRA Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I think we will keep hold of our best players and splash out on a bit of quality in the summer and be a proper force next season. Which has been my expectation for most of the season, you could always see we’re not quite there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got loads of money for those three players. We didn't reinvest enough. I wish we'd stop using this small club mentality as an excuse, we accept mediocrity to easily in my opinion.

We had to balance the books this season to keep in line with FFP, the losses we've been making are unsustainable. Unless you'd rather we pushed for it and didn't worry about any points deduction, which is currently working very well for "big" team Birmingham.

Kingswoodactor Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Very good season and progress off and on the pitch. Let's go all out to finish on 72 points, which would be a very good final points total regardless of play offs or no play offs. I'll be at Millwall Tuesday to roar the boys on to 3 points I hope!

Lrrr Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 We've turned ourselves into a top 10 team, now is then time to invest in a higher standard of player to prevent a slide backwards, I'm confident the current set up have what it takes to make it happen.

Nothing was thrown away today. As you said....we couldn't have done much more. Today they were brilliant When I say we threw away a fantastic opportunity....I simply meant this season . January transfer window....shambles again Ironically the 2 we were 'allegedly' in for....both notched today Lansdown tried to do it on the cheap again, and once again we come up short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
