On the beach or sussed out?

Leicester won the league in their second season.
What's your point?

Just that, if we miss out on top 10 and Europe, it's not the end of the world and consolidating ourselves as a PL club may be a slow and steady process across a few seasons, in the same way as Brighton, also Bournemouth and Brentford. That said, you do get the examples of Leicester and Forest, who made much faster progress

Re the wider point we managed to beat Newcastle with a load of injuries recently and Spurs couldnt lay a glove on us.

The team are safe now and have over achieved and our gaffer likes to use a small group of players so there will be some fatigue,plus a world cup is on the horizon.

We didn't lose with 10 so very unlikely with 11.

He'd gone back to our better set up to, defensive cover in midfield and with Le Fee central rather than being sacrificed.

They are less motivated. Motivation comes from the manager. Why this happens we dont know. As I said the season under regis is in thirds. Great, decent, relegation form. So far he gets the latter as last third. If that happens start or middle he will be replaced. Its no big deal he had been perfect for where we were and wanted to be. He has achieved mission. Can he take us to top 8 scoring so few goals, not unless he changes style which doesn't seem to be his way. However I dont know how more levels he has to be unlocked. This is new to him too.
 
Wolves have beaten Liverpool and Aston Villa at home, also they got a draw against Arsenal, all better teams than us. As bad as Wolves are, they are still a threat. I thought a draw with having ten men was a good result. We probably would have won this with a full team.

Seen after, and edited a tad. The original post "if we had 11 I dont think we'd have lost today" implied a loss marra but no harm done Thunders lad.

I have no doubts we'd have won.
 
Against Wolves, great point with only 10 men.

Generally, yup I think we’ve been sussed. Form league isn’t great over the last few months. Cant see another win this season either.
 
I don’t think we were sussed at all yesterday. We had to play with 10 men after 25 minutes in a game we were winning with ease. If Ballard had stayed on the pitch yesterday I genuinely believe we would have won by 2 or 3 goals. Any game in the premier league away from home with 10 men and you get a point is a positive. Even then we could have won it. I do think the World Cup is a distraction for players as well who maybe don’t have it al, to play for, but that argument isn’t valid really as most teams will have player going there in the summer too.
 
Something is missing with the squad we’ve lost the fight and the passion from what I can see we need to upgrade in the summer but overall a fantastic season !!!
 
I can’t see how anyone can see a point is a good result, they’re absolutely gash. They’ve just been pumped 4-0 off West Ham, 3-0 off Leeds, even spurs beat them 1-0 and they’re a fuckin shambles. Their crowd actively hate them; they were there for the taking. All our fight & desire has went for some reason, it could be end of season burnout.

I can see why someone would reach that conclusion mows lad,I didnt take offence at the original reply or yours.On reflection I should have said "If we had 11 we would have won today".

My thoughts behind the OP was the sending off prevented what I thought was a likely win and despite the end result being a draw (and not win or defeat) we should take the positives.
