Even ignoring 2008, we also finished 10th the year after, and 15th the year after that. In 15/16 we were 18th, in 16/17 we were 17th, and in 17/18 we were 11th - so all lower than 09/10, and two lower than 10/11. To say he has "constantly" done it is a bit of an exaggeration don't you think? He's finished higher than our SECOND best finish last time... once. By two places. We are currently sitting 10th - the same as the 09/10 season. Don’t overlook 90/91, just 2 points outside the playoffs. A forgotten period, but city should have achieved more. I always think that early 90s period sums us up in that the second division is our top flight and we’re too scared to ever push for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrizzleRed Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 17 minutes ago, Matty_Taylor_is_god said: We were 10th when he left I believe? .... dropping like a stone, being dragged down by a combination of the useless dross he’d signed and the growing dressing room unrest. Don’t get me wrong, I loved his cheeky chappy personality and he had a great connection with the fans. GJ did a really great job for us and I absolutely loved that Play-off season, but it was so clear the wheels were totally coming off at the point when he left. GJ could also get far more out of his players than his son can manage, which is why it looks like SL will be throwing good money after bad, if he keeps LJ on any longer. Hoping he’ll come good isn’t enough, he needs to show he’s got it in him and he certainly isn’t giving any indication that he has, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 1 hour ago, hodge said: Webster wasn't an initial starter for Brighton, took several games to displace Duffy and thats a £20m signing Joined Burnley in summer 2018 IIRC...all clubs and managers have bad signings or those who don't work out of course. According to Wiki 1 PL appearence, 2 FA Cup and 2 League Cup last season, 1 this- on a 4 year deal, club record fee! Peacock-Farrell- joined summer 2020, zero appearances to date. Only £2.5m of course so that's pretty modest. In fairness, in summer 2018 he'd have padded the squad out a bit for Europe...but they went out in 2nd qualifying round! A certain Wells he signed for £5m, appearances 9 and that's it. According to WhoScored, all sub apps- in total about half a game- great investment! His overall hit rate is probably not bad but there are some he signs who he wastes cash on or doesn't utilise in a way that gets the best out of them. Brownhill too of course- has only played once, but still early days there of course. Think he will prove to be a success in due course. Vydra, one who has been underused or misused- might have done better at PL level in a more footballing side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he’s past his best, but his “past his best” is still probably better than LJ. It would probably be a drab style of play with him in charge but I could live with that as we’d win more matches. Its not about a level such as 'past his best' I think the game of football itself is/has evolved beyond his brand of management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
