Davefevs Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 I’m disappointed they seem to be trying to pass it too much. Compromised what they are good at. Had 2 set pieces that they haven’t managed to get into the danger area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get fed up of the same teams staying in the division with no ambition just purely to make up the numbers. I think you're absolutely right though about Wycombe though.

Gazred Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 They looked well short of the standard for this level. Lots of effort and scrapping but that wont be enough. Long season ahead for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 He openly admitted in an interview before season started they weren’t gonna spend money etc and it would be used to invest in training ground amongst other things said last years players would get the chance this year, admirable but they will be down that’s for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Gareth Ainsworth said pre match that he wants to asses the areas of the squad he needs to strengthen before the window closes. He’s very aware of the gulf in quality between L1 and the Championship. He came over as an astute guy, very realistic about where they are in comparison to the rest of the Championship.

Probably hadn't expected promotion, no fans in the stadium giving them grief, increased television revenue and if that then allows them to come up, get relegated but have a greatly improved infrastructure the timing couldn't be better.

No easy games (at this l - e - v - yaaaawwn - e - l ), although Wycombe appear to be as close as it gets to one (at this, er, "level"). Most Championship sides found Rotherham in 2016/17 relatively "easy," and that was at this "level," too. I'd pay to see Wycombe 2020 v Rotherham 16/17. Just to see who is/was worst.

Bar BS3 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Fair play to them for getting here. I don't think they, or anyone else would expect them to compete too fiercely. Arguably the smallest club (along with Yeovil & Burton) to compete at this level in modern times. They will be realistic about surviving and should just enjoy and learn from the experience. They will win a few games, but highly unlikely they'll ever pick up enough for safety at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew me Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Don't write off anyone after three games They won't be shipping boys all season. They'll find their feet and pick up a few points. They may go down, but it won't be as bad as it is now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 The smaller clubs and those more likely to struggle would really benefit from a crowd- reckon could be a tougher away game with that in situ, but as it is they look liable to struggle quite big.

Closest I`ve seen to him meeting his match was in a Sky game where he was playing v Colchester who had George Elokobi playing CB for them. Big Bayo really met his match that night! It was hilarious seeing them go toe to toe - at one point Bayo climbed on George`s shoulders to win a header and he just shrugged him off like an annoying fly. The great thing was that they were both loving it and spent the whole game grinning at one another and helping each other up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Usually I love an under dog story but they shouldn’t even be in the league. fair play to them for taking their opportunity mind as it wasn’t their fault but I won’t be sorry to see them go back to where they belong.

Plus their style of football is utter dogshit, kick it long, foul, time waste, just pub football. When the likes of Burton or Yeovil played Championship football at least they attempted to pass the ball on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the likes of Burton or Yeovil played Championship football at least they attempted to pass the ball on the floor. There's not a right way or wrong was to play football though. Yes it's not as great to watch but they have absolutely made the most of the limited resources they have and should be applauded for doing so well. Unfortunately for them a mixture of a few things such as a lack of pre-season to prepare for a brand new league and playing at home in front of a crowd etc means I think they could be on for one of the lowest points totals ever in the Championship. Ainsworth has done an absolute fantastic job there though and I cannot believe he hasn't been given a chance at a bigger club yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
