Agreed ..... I don't think any of us expect too much from the team but we seem to be in the same position this time last year ..... so in a sense, we've achieved squat in 12 months. To me, that is not acceptable.
Depends how far you go back Stroller, we have had some excellent managers in my time supporting the hoops. Alec Stock, Gordon Jago, Dave Sexton and Terry Venables to name but a few, but in recent years they've been a bit thin on the ground I will accept.
What a quandary. Nobody wants inconsistency - but it seems the only consistent thing about this team right now is losing points and games. Playing players out of position seems madness. I'd rather play a mediocre player in position, and keep a good player in his best position than what seems to be happening right now. Forwards need chances, then we can criticise them if they don't score. Lots of midfielders, but we have a complete lack of creativity. A defensive back four that certainly has become inconsistent, and now seems all at sea and adrift of confidence. First time I've looked at the fixtures and thought... where do we get our next win? I can't see it. Wish I had an answer... I'll just have to make do with hope for now.
Don't use Americanisms then. I think Strolls was making a different kind of point mate. Something to do with retrospective infallibility. We have plenty of Popes on here.
Whe are not ready prem yet & think it would be a disaster if we went up, quite happy in championship for another season or two untill we are ready & wether it is with jimmy or someone else who knows.
That sort of lack of ambition will see us relegated if followed by the Club. At the same time income will decrease and the better players get sold. A continuing downward spiral.
Wednesday night is a match that JFH has to be really careful of Although really it doesn't matter if we progress in the cup....BUT if Sunderland record their first win of the season against us (especially if they play their reserves) and/or if they smash us (JFH has already says he is resting players in the Huddersfield post match report) his position is then on a knife edge, regardless of any "saving players for the league talk". He must be praying that our youngsters win on Wednesday
