I want us to stick with Pressley as we need stability and he showed in the first half of the season that he has it in him to motivate and it can take a couple of seasons to get things right. But is it me after reading his "unbelievable" comment that it comes over a bit embarrassing and a bit over the top ?

Is it just me who doesn't agree with this? Now I think Pressley's done a good job without much backing but I think regardless of the ten point deduction we should still be in a better position and not in a relegation battle. Or am I overestimating how good our squad is?
"Unbelievable, Jeff"!!! You've got to LOL everytime Chris Kamara screams those words on Soccer Saturday!!!
We were pretty heavily being tipped to go down with the deduction. Add in the bizarre rotation of players we've had and it's a fair achievement.
1/2 to go down at the start of the season. If you think though, since the end of Jan we've won what, 4 matches? And we'd still be 9th without the points deduction, just shows how strong we were the first 5 months of the season, and how catastrophically garbage we've been since that Crawley 2-0 to 2-2 in 1 min match.
True, but treating it the same way you would as winning the league to me seems excessive. Staying in League 1 should not be cause for celebration, in my book.
I'd be surprised if he's really doing any of that to be honest. It's fair to say he's defied the odds which I think is where unbelievable comes in, rather than any real enthusiastic exclamation.
We've tailed off dramatically, but with the revolving door of players and all the horrible sideshow distractions it's not too surprising.
I think he acknowledges it somewhat at the end of the article with "I know everyone got excited when we had that terrific period but I said from the start if we survive it would take a lot to beat that" as if he knew that the form would tail off. He's prepared for the worst, he's found his rightful home!

(Tin hat on) - No they were not - the owners moved them for their own reasons :facepalm:

If we could have kept Clarke and our pre xmas form we would be promoted.
I can see what he's getting at and why he's saying it. Basically we had a good patch which caused people to think we were only going to go up the table. The fact that he's managed to deal with the loss of players especially Leon Clarke and transfer embargoes speaks volumes about how much he's had to overcome and what he's achieved. I hope he's given a long run to get us back to where we belong.
