Couldn't manage either in our league. Good for him though, he'd probably do well in Bundesliga 2 too

He managed something like our third highest goals tally in the Championship.

68 goals last year, 61 in 12/13, a whole one extra goal in 2015/16 when we had a PL squad and scored 69 goals. 70 goals under the wild ride that was Slutsky and Adkins. What dour, boring football Rosenior played..

The re-writing of the narrative is something else.

And are you saying it's easier to score goals in the Bundesliga 2 than the Championship? Funny that.
 
I mentioned in a previous post that we're starting to see an established pattern to the games now. We've seen how we'll win and we've seen us kept at arms length by defences and punished on the break and both of those things will happen plenty more times. What I think is particularly worth remembering is that just like last season, home games are likely to be where most of the frustrating stuff happens. Teams will sit back more and that won't suit us, we might get more joy in away games where teams feel they have to come onto us more. Cardiff next weekend will now seem like a home banker to many people, but we rarely actually win those.

It’s the big test really and it’s what frustrated myself and many others last season. The team last season did not win enough of these ‘bankers’. Tim Walter has two things to achieve: this, and to maintain performances similar to that second half against Stoke. It’s a tough ask and only time will tell. Hopefully the fact that we’ve now scored a few will spur us on.

On a side note, we could do with Bedia getting off the mark too. I would imagine Burstow is feeling a little disappointed not to have got more game time so far.

So what you're saying is we scored more under Slutsky and Adkins? Two hugely successful managers for us with dreadful squads handed to them.

The narrative hasn't been re-written at all, we drew too many games under him and couldn't score enough goals due to just knocking the ball around in our own half. Anyone with eyes could see it.

It wasn’t Rosie’s football that Syd was in love with. It was how his arse looked in tight trousers.

We scored all of 2 extra goals and finished significantly worse in the table ffs. That Slutsky/Adkins squad had PL players like Hernandez banging them in, and then Wilson in January who was a find out of nowhere. Dreadful squad - McGregor, Dawson, Davies, Meyler, Hernandez, Grosicki, Bowen all running around is hardly dreadful. And it managed 2 extra goals!!

Wilson was a nobody. You’ve named 3 forwards, 1 of which was Bowen’s first senior season. Hernandez was injured all season too

Hernandez scored 8 goals in 8 starts. I've named players who scored goals for us and who were with us in the PL the previous season. 2 extra goals.
 
Our 2016 championship squad was the most underperfoming team ever
We were so stacked


Shoulda have got autos,
Ah well

What is it with our constant comparisons to past seasons

It was on a par with the Villa and Newcastle teams for sure, if not stronger. As strong as Leicester side last season?

It really was an insanely strong team to have at this level.

Yeah sorry only brought it up to make the point that this notion that we didn't score many goals is a bit daft in context.
