Genuine question, what do we say if we finish 12th this season for example? I think we are a long way off being a playoff side and can see the grind of december and January causing us to drop out of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, our current team is worse than our team of two years ago IMO. But we could still finish higher because the quality of the division this year is much worse. There's also a lot of luck in it because Johnson doesn't seem to know what he's doing from one game to the next. We don't play like we've progressed. 4 minutes ago, RedDave said: Some people enjoy being negative Hard not to when the football is shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard not to when the football is shit I presume you weren’t there on Saturday then, or for Huddersfield? Tbh I’d be happy with shit football and being 4th in the league, I’d hate to know how awful you must have felt when we were in the bottom four in league one just over 5 years ago...

I didn't say anything about a brilliant start to the season two years ago. I said we were a better team, and I stand by that regardless of league position.

So your thread with a picture of the table from around this time 2 years ago under a title ‘the progress we have made in the last two years’ has nothing to do with the start to the season we had 2 years ago? Right... And our side 2 years back is by no means better than the one we have today, minus Bobby Reid there’s not a single player I’d have over who we’ve got now (when everyone is fit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't start the thread or post that. Think you have me mixed up with someone else. It's not about individuals, it's about how we play as a team, philosophy, tactics etc. But I would have Smith, Bryan, Flint, and probably one or two others too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Bryan over Dasilva, haha And Flint over Kalas/Williams, give me a break... And our tactics that got us to that position totally tired the team out and we struggled post Christmas to stay in the top half, so no I wouldn’t take the gung ho tactics of then now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said we were a better team, and I stand by that regardless of league position. We’ve got a better keeper, better central defenders, full backs on a par at worst when fit, a much better central midfield, better wide options (Eliasson is clearly much better than he was two years ago, for example). Up front we are weaker but hardly a result of lack of effort from the club. This is a much stronger team than two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongagain Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Of course there is some progression but it’s the dips in performance that are so worrying, we are where we are at the moment due to the way the championship is. We follow up 2 really good performances with the dross we saw tonight, we set up badly from the start, thats not down to anything other than the leadership! Massengo should have been rested, Palmer is not and never will be the answer! There is an element of luck in our position which is due in part to other factors rather than how good we as a team are, which is not helped by the management- I don’t know what the problem is but the last 10 minutes tonight showed there is something very wrong with our team setup 80 minutes totally outplayed and 10 minutes at the end looking like world beaters!

We had Brownhill two years ago, and I would argue that Smith is better than Nagy and Massengo. Based on what i saw today anyway. Also, our centre backs aren't that exceptional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
