Top Robin Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 As many of you know, I have felt miserable all season. Cov and Luton making the play off final just just reinforces how poor we have been this season - we weren't even close to them. 1 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Tbh is it that they are more overachieving outliers. They have overtaken many clubs but in different ways 2017-18, 2018-19 and even 2019-20 we could have maybe done better. We missed out on top 6 for various reasons especially in the case of the first two. We are now on an upward curve and the financial problems have bottomed out. In theory we can now push forward. Then again I saw potential for us to be a bit of a Brentford Plus in the making so what do I know!

Markthehorn Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 TBF Luton probably would have been a solid League One/Championship but they got deducted -30 points twice which meant relegation. No ideal why it took them so long to get out of non-league though - think they lost to York x2 and AFC Wimbledon in the play-off finals. Not sure how long Coventry actually spent in the lower leagues but still an impressive achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aipearcey Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) I’ve always said teams always end up where they’ve previously been. I found a news paper under some floor boards at work and was surprised how similar the league tables back in the 60s were to nowadays. That’s why I’m my opinion teams like Sheffield Wednesdays, Ipswich, Portsmouth will return to the premier league before we do. It’s not in our DNA and why it will take a miracle for it to happen.

Popular Post Wanderingred Posted May 17, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 People need to get over it. Rather than be frustrated that “the likes of” Coventry and Luton are in a playoff final, use it to motivate us. It can be done without parachute payments, and there’s no reason why we can’t be in the same position 12 months later. By the way, for every team that’s overtaken us in the last few years, there are an equal number of teams that have plummeted past us in the opposite direction. 18 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this posting and well what can I say, I think we both have an optimistic view that never seems to come true, as Judy once sang somewhere over the rainbow hopefully Robins, not Blue Birds fly.

Pezo Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 We do now have to accept that either Luton or Kasey Palmer will be playing in the prem before us. A bit of a stick to beat the club with because we say we can't compete due to parachute payments but with both cov and Luton in playoff final and teams like forest, Brentford, leeds, Sheffield United, Wolves, Brighton all getting promoted without parachute payments I don't see why we can't compete. Heck ever Barnsley have been in the playoffs recently! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley didn't spend massively (from memory) and built a reasonable team over 2 years for a longer stay, Fulham have gone for it but still have the fallback ob the better players that came in and the PP to carry on building. No certain formula, but getting there at least give you the means to make a better first of it the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 And where were Burton, Derby, Sheff Wed, Bolton, and Barnsley in 2018? In our division. Stars rise and stars fall. Don't be jealous and envious of Coventry and Luton. Don't let bitterness dominate. Be inspired and encouraged that yes, if they can do it, then so can we. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
