Took just over a year rising from the absolute pits of league 1 to be way ahead of them already

The big clubs always rise to the top

How can they look at their team and think it's close to ours?

  • 1 Dieng
  • 3 van den Berg
  • 6 Fry
  • 26 Lenihan
  • 27 Engel
  • 7 Hackney
  • 28 O'Brien
  • 18 Silvera
  • 25 Crooks
  • 8 McGree
  • 19 Coburn
How many of them would have started for us at Blackburn? Nevermind if Ekwah, Cirkin, Alese or Rusyn were available.

Do you still believe this? 🤔

They didn’t win in 7 they’re above us, remember when everyone on here was taking the piss out of them and Carrick?

Look a bit stupid now

Yes.
People were really quick to go on about us losing half a team and replacing them with shit (trying to 'copy' Sunderland but failing badly).
Strange that one of the gripes I read on here now is about the terrible recruitment / Speakman.

Of course I had concerns about us earlier in the season (we all did I think), but never did I think Michael was a 'flash in the pan'.

We’re very close, despite that defeat a few weeks ago.

Which is quite an achievement considering we’ve just spent years in league one
 
Getting beat so he takes strikers off instead of maybe trying two together

You’re picking up results lately but how well are you actually playing? Wasn’t too impressed by yous at ours until the BS turning point of which we are all aware

Performances have massively improved. Its professional at the moment, not flash but effective. Biggest difference is at the back - we where conceding for fun in the first 7 games and we are now managing clean sheets. We are proving very clinical in attack, especially on the counter.

Carrick put too many of the new lads in and expected them to just gel, it didn't happen and we now have a mixture of the older/experienced lads and some of the better new players and they are really starting to gel.

Last night was an exciting and open game but apart from a slow start we managed the game well and overall where comfortable, Norwich where okay until the final third.

6 wins in a row in the league, 7 in call comps. Got Stoke at home, Plymouth away and Leicester away to come in the next three games. Tough games in their own right and this run will come to an end but to be where we are after the start is incredible.

Couldn't agree more mate.
Commented a few times on here, I think you have a good, young exciting side that can only improve with experience.
Yeah the odd 'blip' is bound to happen (as it does with us all).

Didn't see your.match last night, but it sounds like you really have Leicester a game , not many can say that this season.

I didn't really go 'absent' from here cos I like the forum
Understandable that folk don't post so much on another teams forum when we're getting beat though

I was still posting on here a few months back, when we were struggling without a win and plenty on here were taking the piss.

Funnily enough, it's those posters who are now absent from this thread. Strange that.
