It isn't a short term game though, it is simply treated like one.

Whilst we are one of the theoretically stronger sides, we shouldn't EXPECT promotion. We've done well this season even if there is room for improvement from MR. I won't be heartbroken if we don't go up provided we see a long term improvement in the club and its trajectory.

I think the question you are asking is "is it acceptable that we're within a couple of points of the automatics, as part of the chasing pack and playing very competitively"? , then the answer is an unambiguous YES.

This.

Can't we just fast forward 3 weeks when we're still in contention, we've got through 30 pages of this thread, Grendel is bitching about Bobby Sands and the mods just close the thread?

Is it fuck make or break. If we don't go up this season we might go up next seaso. That's how the football league system works.

I do not see why not getting promoted ought to be a sackable offence. He needs a couple of years in charge, even if we stay down. As long as we're competitive this season, which we are at present, then he deserves time to work on the rebuild. Let's see where we are in Feb 2020. If we're not up...

Was told today that his widow has broken the news to their 6-year old son today. She said it was one of the hardest things she has ever done but that he took it like an angel. Good boy. You suspect he's too little to really understand the enormity of what he's being told. If it wasn't for daddy...

I like Stokes but he's injured too often. Not quite a Reda but for the money we pay him we only get a proportion of the season out of him once all his absence are taken into account. We might be better getting a player 80% as good, saving some money but expecting a full season out of that player.

Shut up. We're within a win of the automatics and for the first time in years we're coming towards the run-in with a serious chance of promotion. There's a good feeling around the club thanks to team and atmosphere created by MR. Do yourself a favour please.

Sounds like a nearly identical situation mate. Sorry to hear about it.

The irony is that for years people have said, quite rightly, that we need to turn the Ricoh into a fortress. But one area only appears 'strong' in comparison to an area of relative weakness i.e. our away form.

Aged 33 - same year group as me. Drank himself to death though being a massive pub-going pisshead. Used to think it was funny how much he could drink, lost contact with him over the years but knew him from aged 11 and we were in the same group of 5-6 lads who start hitting the pubs aged 16 for...

McNulty will probably get 20 at this rate.

Even after this apparent setback, one win may be enough, with other results, to see us back in the automatics after the next game. We will lose a few, chin up boys.

Come on lads, we must be able to nick an equaliser, they're a trumped up village team!

How did JCH do? A little while ago, someone posted a picture of the league table with the bottom third/quarter highlighted and that we'd won so few games/points against those teams. Looks like that's extended again today. So frustrating!

We ARE a Premier League team in exile!!! It's just that the exile may turn out to be permenant

I thought you can play if you're a free agent when you sign?

Not if the contracts are cancelled, they both become free agents and can be signed to play - I believe.
