Gamble92 Posted 29 August 2023 Share Posted 29 August 2023 21 hours ago, Steve Earle said: We are in the Championship after the most avoidable relegation I’ve ever seen - and it was my ninth. I’ve just watched Burnley v Aston Villa on MOTD2 and each time I watch Villa it hurts. Ifs, buts & maybes but if we’d sacked Rogers when we should’ve, there must’ve been a fair-to-middling chance we could have recruited Unai Emery? I’m delighted with Maresca in the here and now, but if we’d got Emery last autumn I’ve no doubt at all (a) that we’d have avoided relegation and (b) we’d be odds on for a top seven finish this season. What a shitshow we saw, from top to bottom, last season. Bastards the lot of them! The main comparison to Villa would be our team when we finished 5th and won the FA Cup. Not saying they will do that but it put us ahead of the likes of Villa for players. Everything we have done since has been about trying to cut corners and just about get by because no way that team could go down. The anyone calling it out was basically told to know their place and appreciate what we had achieved. I don't think we were a more appealing than Villa start of last season. Their trajectory is clearly going up, with a big amount to spend. We were seemingly fine just hanging on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a defeat v Coventry City will probably spell trouble for Val. Or if they say we haven’t got enough players in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've actually played not too badly but cannot score for toffee since that first game. So probably be 1-0 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sly Posted 29 August 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted 29 August 2023 @Phube Saw your comment in the match tread about what is the best we’ve done at the start of a season.

All wins. This is our best ever start to a season. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore_94 Posted 30 August 2023 Share Posted 30 August 2023 Will be interesting to see how Spence gets on under Farke So far he has only done well under Cooper at Forest and struggled under others Warnock suggested he has a bit of an attitude problem as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you'd think clean slate under Ange might have worked for him but he clearly wants nothing to do with him either. Not worried at all by Leeds, their defence is still a mess, they'll be a laugh to watch but they're going to draw/lose a lot more than us Edited 30 August 2023 by AjcW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very good players they have. Interested how they cope and how they do. Will definitely be a good challenge for our squad. In general intrigued how we'll do against teams of a higher calibre.

BenTayfour Posted 30 August 2023 Share Posted 30 August 2023 Can you rank Championship clubs in terms of Squad Depth as I'm not really familiar with the championship, I think we are first, South second, then leeds/Norwich other than that I've no clear idea who comes after...

Ric Flair Posted 30 August 2023 Share Posted 30 August 2023 Leeds could be very good going forward. They'll be a test of our extremely slow and ponderous defence but if we can prove as a unit that defensively we're quite solid then we ought to go on to get a top 2 finish IMO.

Guest Kopfkino Posted 31 August 2023 Share Posted 31 August 2023 Sounds like Big Nige is getting the hump with Bristol City & not being given any of the Scott money to spend when he’s got a small squad that’s relying on the academy as it is. And a lesson to a certain midget about how to do it in a less dickheady way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
