Been watching and reading this thread for months (and commented a few times) but I’d be very curious as to why if you go up you think you’ll make a better go of it than us?
We went up with one of the best season tallies in recent memory, bought some proper quality in the likes of Delap for sample who will be an england player in future seasons and we’re still very likely to go back down.
There was no guarantee that a) you’d be promoted and b) you’d make a better go of it than us anyway. I can see why he signed even asides for the money.
As it goes, he just lacks the physicality for the league. He’s showing no strength whatsoever and being brushed off the ball every time he does anything. He shows glimpses and then gets shoved off the ball by a big defender and then hides away for the next 10 minutes. Szmodics has earned the place over him quite frankly.
As for some other stuff in this thread, there is literally zero chance of McKenna being sacked. And to suggest he’s been ‘found out’ is also ridiculous. We had 6 starters last week who played for us against Exeter on the last day of our League 1 season. To even have us competing (1 win off the dotted line at halfway is competing) is a testament to how good a manager he is. Back to back promotions in the parachute payment era where the quality and gulf between the championship and premier league is enormous is a superb job. Even if we go back down as plenty of our fanbase expect we might, McKenna would be taking up a job at the likes of Spurs. He was already approached for the Chelsea job remember and offered the Brighton and Crystal Palace jobs previously. Nothing that has happened this season detracts from that.
Good luck with the rest of the season. Still hope yous go up despite reading stuff like ‘Pisswich Town’ in this thread which is nothing short of embarrassing in all honesty.
