Apart from a scrappy loss to Southampton, I've almost forgotten what it's like to lose...and we'll beat Brentford too.

You will get an unpleasant reminder during December

Yeah I’ve also decided to blank out that defeat to the worst team in the entire league 1 week ago. What a weird post.

Aren't we supposed to be being ambitious, don't see kecking yourself around tough fixtures as very ambitious.

9 points from 10 return is completely unacceptable...what happened to NSNO?

That embarassing old relic was quietly retired by Bill Kenwright and replaced by "We had good times."

Apart from a decent performance at Ipswich I’ve all most forgotten what it’s like to win

There are teams worst than us.

Are they in the Championship?

We didn’t finish mid table, it’s not my world, it’s the actual real world.

The fact is is we have a bottom 6 quality squad this season.

Remarkable how many just don't seem able to grasp this.

 

[NeilMorepies]

we don’t need funds ffs

No. We need a much higher income so we can spend.

Taps are off anyway.

No

….be genuinely interesting if the next manager suddenly starts picking the players Thelwell brought in that Dyche doesn’t select. If so, we can expect our team to include the likes of Beto, O’Brien and Chermiti as regular starters.

Probably only Young and Ndiaye guaranteed starters from the players Thelwell acquired, so there appears a disconnect.

Yep, Thelwell is buying players for the modern game, Dyche is stuck in the past.

Yesah, no doubt. But we'll also do what we usually do and get unexpected results.

that short term memory loss might explain all the flip flopping to whatever the minority opinion is each month then

I wouldn't be that dramatic. Currently on course for 30 points from 33 games so it will be more like 35-36 points like 22/23 so could be another final day heartstopper and this time that's away to Newcastle so probably not advisable.

Looks like we are on course for the stress of relegation uncertainty till last few weeks like last two seasons. Lampard came in after 20 games and on 19 pts, Dyche came in after 20 games 15 points. We need to beat Wolves and Brentford and blag a result against a top 6 team and scrape a few draws as a best case scenario in the next run of games. What is worse I think is there doesn’t seem to be as many out and out relegation candidates this year. The other kick in the bollo***s too is Liveroool got a good chance of winning the league at end of season.
