Yep, what we thought pre-season is redundant. We have to look at the here and now and what we have done and how we have performed DURING the season.I'd echo this. We were league leaders for much of the first half of the season, and been in top 6 all the way, I would deem 7th a failure from that position. I don't care what we did last season, or what I would have taken before the season kicked off, you have to judge it purely on this season's merit. And it would be a failure of from this position we finished outside the top 6.
I wouldn't call for Mowbray to be sacked either, but we are allowed to scrutinise his decisions, etc.

We had a rough patch with injuries, but now pretty much look back to full strength.
We should surely now make the play-offs. Anything less is a failure.
I can see this happening with Burton too. They don't score enough goals and rely on a well-organised back line. Could they cope if they suddenly had a glut of defensive injuries like we've just come through?
Couldn't agree more with you ..... that's if I had the slightest clue what you are bleeding talking about of course!I say say this but look at the predictor league I sum crap at this sort of stuff.

Bloody ipad changes and adds so many words makes me look like I type with a stutter:facepalm:.
ExactlyI know budgets are not everything but we have a top 8 budget.
If he finished 7th I would be massively disappointed. However I would take all factors into account and see it as a step in the right direction. The bigger picture for me would be the massive improvement the smaller picture would be the massive disappointment.
There are a lot of teams vying for those 4 places a lot can happen in football.
In my opinion isolating Mowbray's performance soley on the league position. Could leave him as a victim of his own success.
It would kind of be like Leicester been annoyed if they now didn't finish in the top 2 having been there for the majority of the season.
Hmm, maybe, but Leicester are punching well, well above their weight.I know budgets are not everything but we have a top 8 budget.

The same can't be said of us. There is much more parity in League One. No-one is looking at Coventry City and saying we shouldn't be there!
If Leicester finish top 6, that is a brilliant season for them.
Bang on Otis. Leicester are a poor example.
Out of the current top 6, I would imagine only Wigan and Millwall have bigger wage bills than us.
And if we do miss out on top 6, given we have 5 loanees in the starting line up and only 2 players in contract next season, it's hard to point to progress when there will be wholesale changes again.

To be fair I think there is only one currently calling for his head.
Then there a couple who would deem 7th as failure. Not sure if they would be calling for his head if that happened though?
Wigan winning are the Walsall wheels coming off (maybe should wait to ninety mins to make that statement)
Yep you should
That's a score I like.Oldham 1 Gillingham 1
Have a game in hand on both though.Millwall move above us and Wigan in 2nd on current scores.
