People talking about 7th place finishes already are setting unrealistic expectations. I know a few of fat man’s disciples are doing it so they can say the manager failed when he doesn’t achieve this.

But the sound minded ones need to remember that:
1) we haven’t finished 7th since 2017
2) we haven’t finished top half since 2019
3) we survived relegation by the skin of our teeth last season after one of our worst ever seasons with the club being in complete turmoil.

This season is all about laying the foundations.
Of course we should be aiming to finish as high as possible, but we need to remain realistic.

@BluePaul86 another paranoid/obsessed with the FSW.

The crack the kids are smoking nowadays must be strong stuff !!

Chris does noble work in continuing to call out the snakes who are after Super Frank and praying for a slip up weekly so they can come on here and rub in everyone’s faces how right they were to back the last manager all along. They’ve spent the summer trying to heap unfair expectations on our current manager and peddling the lazy kopite social media “16th to 16th” line. They need to be exterminated for the good of the forum and football club.

I didn’t even mention him. I mentioned his weird hangers on setting the new manager up for a fail you illiterate bellend.

Who's setting who up to fail ? You do realise the owners dont judge the managers performance based on what a few fans think on the internet dont you ?

You're paranoid if you believe that.
 
Frank has shown more humility and more modern day management credentials than RB ever did and that should be the end of the mentions of their names together.

Frank is doing a good job and things are looking up but we need to maintain and build from here and Franks winning mentality hopefully will mean he doesn’t get complacent about that

While you’re absolutely right, I’m pleased that level of unrealistic expectation has reared its head - because it means we’re doing better than we might have feared.

I’d be very happy with 10th this season, especially given the clear and obvious improvement in our play. It’s a long journey back, and although indications are we’re on track, we need to temper expectations as you say.

We definitely seem to be moving in the right direction mate. I know it’s only a small sample size, but there hasn’t been a game yet this season that we haven’t been within a shout of winning. I believe we’d already have another win or 2 if we’d have had a striker in for the first handful of games too.

But I also don’t think we’re incapable of going on a losing run at some point too. But when it happens, people need to remember what we’ve just came through.

Absolutely spot on.

Again, I didn’t mention the owner either. You’re strangely trying to put words in my mouth you little creep.

Any need for the aggressive tone of your posts ? You dont see me stooping down to your childish level.

You posted Benitez's "fanboys" are setting Lampard up to fail by giving unreasonable expectations.

Therefore you did mention Benitez without explicitly saying his name and by stating he's set up to fail kinda implies his jobs on the line with the board/owner otherwise you believe his job security is based on what a few fans think on the internet which is even more paranoid !

You called me paranoid for some weird reason; so yeah, I do feel I need to be equally as aggressive if that’s ok?

I didn’t mention you, or quote any of your posts, or even mention the previous manager or his horrendous time here, but here you are.

I didn’t say about anyone getting sacked I said so the ones talking about finishing 7th can say lampard has failed when he doesn’t achieve it. I’m pretty sure the owner doesn’t read this or give a toss what we think.
