We have yes. Though anyone would have their work cut out being honest.

You all said this at the start of the season. You were wrong

Not looking good though is it Pete. No doubt we will sell 1 of the big 3 this summer, have to replace them on the cheap and probably be in a worse position.

The first dozen games has kept us out of a relegation dogfight

We'd be 11 points clear of relegation if we took out the first dozen games and started from there .. so no ..we wouldn't

I think changing the manager is the only thing you can do with a lack of investment to try and fluke a promotion

The club is still showing upward trend under the current manager .. there is no change needed

Think that will change next year

To be fair , most fans said we'd do well to stay up this year.

I’m talking about that PPG over a whole season. Wouldn’t be comfortable that’s for sure especially without points deductions

Youre moving the goalposts .. the fact is you are wrong mate .. I took the 12 games out , we are 11 clear

No I think you misunderstood my point.
Evo1883

No I understood it entirely , the last 25 matches we are 11 clear of relegation .. several teams worse than us .. there is not a single metric 5 games 10 games 15 games that shows us in relegation form ..
Therfore we would survive

Over a £1m more paid on wages last year.

So about half the annual interest charged

Well it’s not happening in a month of Sundays anyway.
The interest we are being charged is 7.5%

Not sure about that, he was calling for him to be sacked last season.

I get it that we all feel a bit down after last night’s debacle.
Last 3 games;
Luton - Desperately unlucky.
Sheff Utd - world beaters
Hull - Poor, deflated, but - one freak goal against, at least one certain pen denied, a goal that could so easily have been given - fine margins. Another night it’s 2-1.
I enjoy getting childish emojis and comments and I’m sure I’ll get some now, nonetheless;
We have some talented players.
We have some players, who, for whatever reasons, haven’t performed to expectations.
We have some players who, with hindsight and wisdom should not have been signed.
I’m concerned about the recruitment strategy. For every Hamer there have been 4 DaCostas, Kastaneers, Hilssners, Jobellos. Were these players scouted with anything more than YouTube?
Signing over 30’s on good contracts needs to stop.
We need to pad out our u23s with young players that can step up. Defensively yesterday is a prime example. Sheaf isn’t a central defender who should have been matched against a big physical striker.
Some of our mid-age players seem to have developed well. Sheaf has better ball retention. Allen puts himself about a bit more.
Where we do need to develop is self belief.
Too often we play too many extra passes around the box where a good old fashioned smack is a better option.
Luton had a hit and hope against us. It went in.
Last night was one hit and hope and one smack from the edge of the box that did for us.
Had any of those scenarios landed to say, Jamie Allen then I believe the ball would have gone sideways.
Get a Ted Lasso sign up over the door of the dressing room on matchdays.
“Believe”.

Is that the same Godden who has a scoring rate second only to Mitrovic

If he’s genuinely that good there’s no way we’ll keep hold of him this summer. Let’s hope a bidding war happens so we can avoid selling anyone else.
I think you are assuming we are talking about him being sacked. I think it might be his decision. He has probably achieved what is possible to achieve here

There’s a very good chance we’ll regress for the first time under him next season. If again there’s a lack of investment the following summer, he may decide to go.
I’d be off this summer if I was him. A cup final win, 2 promotions and mid table championship yet still not the backing to push for top 6 in a freak of a season sod them

I did. At one point we won't progress in league position... and it won't be the manager's fault.
Anyway, reasons to be cheerful - Howley, Bapaga, Eccles, Tavares all a year older and a year wiser. Depth can come from within the squad too.

He’s done an admirable job in the circumstances but not sure where he’ll be moving to? Premier League clubs won’t consider him, I thought Sheffield United may come in for him but they’re doing well now.
