Ok, I’ll bite. But only once and because it needs saying. I think we’ve slightly underachieved but I’m not entitled by any stretch. Just rate the players and believe we had a squad good enough for top 6.
With WBA winning, I'm not upset that we lost to Plymouth - last year we spent ten days around a Turkish swimming pool with an extended family from Plymouth, they were all Argyll fans and went to all home and most of their away games, the seasons mileages that they clocked up was incredible. They deserved it today, they didn't let us play, both their wingers and full-backs never gave Carvalho & Philogene a sniff, their captain, Edwards, was Ashbeesque and best player on the pitch. Roll on next season - we have a lot to look forward to.
No I was just winding up Downer Dave. I think Rosenior will have to hit the ground running otherwise he'll be Roseoutier.
That's not just goal scoring we also have a leaky defence- it's going to be a major job hitting the ground running losing some / all of our loan players and selling on the players who have a high value - as long as Acun is still up for it then we have got to be one of the favourites for top six - I like Rosie as manager, think he's 100% for City, just needs to get the ream playing quicker out from the back
You could also say we need to find a coach as good and or experienced as theirs ( just to play devil's advocate )..... We had a squad good enough for the top 6 this season we just ( as a whole team/club ) didn't get the most out the squad and hit our full potential. It's 100% an improvement from last season so on that front well done to all, but that doesn't mean it isn't a huge missed opportunity and I very much doubt LR or any of the players are looking at it any different and say oh well we improved on last season. Big summer needed from the club top to bottom, first 10 games after the window closes will be key for LR, buts he's earned the chance imo
Resenior needs to go before we waste another season most of our wins in the first half of the season was from liam delap single handedly carrying the team anyways acun also mentioned that they bought every single first option player the coach has asked for during the january window sack him!!!!!!
The goal we conceded today was a shocker; the defender stood off and give the Plymouth player all the space and time to pick his cross out, no-one went with the runner giving a static Jacob no chance of outjumping the scorer - we don't need to be clever to defend against that, it's just belt and braces stuff.
No team play most of our goals are from the personal talent of delap, carvalho, tufan and sometimes philogene
He did, but like Philogene’s goals and assists, if they aren’t playing well, we’re not just below standard, we absolutely honk. We’ve relied on a few flair players to carry us this season. The whole spine of the team and squad in general needs to be more solid and consistent.
We did sign Giles (got promoted and was unreal at this level) Fabio (unreal at this level got a move to liverpool) and Zaroury (key figure of the title winners last season) so this is sorta of true but also kind of not all at the same time.
