I remain highly dubious of Bright's ability to be sufficiently disciplined to fit into a team framework. Previously we were mid ranking L 1 and it could be indulged. Now we are scraping along at the bottom of the Championship, I'm not so sure....but I know nothing.
He will be cheap, so the risk is minimal, and the deal cannot have happened without Robins' sign off. I draw some comfort from that.
We did but we were also involved in a relegation battle - it wasn’t exactly an overly comfortable finish.scraping along at the bottom, I thought we finished 16th.

Yeah but let’s not pretend that we weren’t in the thick of it for a lot of the time. Finishing around 16th again would be an excellent achievement.Tbf it was a lot more comfortable than most on here were claiming it was going to be (sleepwalking to relegation) or that was expected of us
We were only in the relegation zone for a brief time in the whole of last season

Not even before the Rotherham game?I get that and I know I'm the forum optimist but I genuinely was not worried at any stage last season that we were going to get relagated
16th or higher for me too this season and I think we'll easily achieve it
Fair play as I'm quite the optimistic type also (when it comes to city) but I've gotta say, my sphincter was a bit squeaky during the Rotherham gameI get that and I know I'm the forum optimist but I genuinely was not worried at any stage last season that we were going to get relagated

Not even a slight twinge m8?
I can see him being involvedSo we think Bright is training with the u23's as he missed the Spain trip.
Wonder if he'll play in the u23s game at Warrington tomorrow? Would make sense to keep him on some par with the first team in terms of match minutes.
You are the most glass half empty on the site. Forget the Mediterranean caution and enjoy yourself. In the thick of it is a bit of an exaggeration. It was really our fear. We generally had a comfortable margin so long as we didn’t self destruct which is where the fear was every time we lostYeah but let’s not pretend that we weren’t in the thick of it for a lot of the time.

Yessssss this guy plays for my club!
But would you moan all season until we finish 16th? That's the question. And not just of you eitherYeah but let’s not pretend that we weren’t in the thick of it for a lot of the time. Finishing around 16th again would be an excellent achievement.
I expected us to be relegated last season, so was very happy overall. Personally I’d also be happy with 4th from bottom.But would you moan all season until we finish 16th? That's the question. And not just of you either
You can rewrite history all you want but it doesn’t change the fact that we were involved in a relegation battle for most of the season.You are the most glass half empty on the site.

Doesn't sound glass half empty then lolI expected us to be relegated last season, so was very happy overall. Personally I’d also be happy with 4th from bottom.

The amount of people who said they’d be happy with this last season almost lost the plot when we were there in reality.
We were pretty safe for almost the entirety of last season. The only exception being was the loss to Bournemouth (A) and Rotherham’s win v QPR leading up to our fixture with them.
Our home record last season was v good (relative to our position). If we can keep close to that standard and whilst slightly improving our away record this season, we won’t be any trouble whatsoever.
Don’t think we were in the relegation zone but were certainly too close for comfort but we did climb well clear in the end and I thought we improved and shown enough that with a few better players added to our squad can improve on last seasons effort 10th or above would be decent for our second season in the championshipYou can rewrite history all you want but it doesn’t change the fact that we were involved in a relegation battle for most of the season.
Ahead of the Rotherham game they were 3 points behind with 2 games in hand and in the relegation zone - hardly a ‘comfortable margin’.
That’s football for you.The amount of people who said they’d be happy with this last season almost lost the plot when we were there in reality.
I don't think that tells the whole story though. We had a bad start, partly because we played a lot of the top teams in quick succession, and partly (more importantly) we played naive football thinking we could play in the Championship like we did in League 1.You can rewrite history all you want but it doesn’t change the fact that we were involved in a relegation battle for most of the season.

Mainly because no other club at our level would look at him
Here we go

If you look at any form table from Christmas on we were mid table, and from memory I think those teams we lost heavily or convincingly to in the beginning part of the season, we did quite well against in the "deadly February" fixtures.
He was always going to target bright next
Why would I always target him next? Next to who?
From your last love affair.
