What trophy do you expect us to be winning? The league cup? This has been a frustrating season but we aren’t in a bad place and have had a pretty good ten years. I wonder how Everton fans feel? They seem to have been in the same places for about twenty years, not a couple.
*Board descends into scuffles*
Agree completely, while not over the moon to coin a phrase we are roughly where belong at this moment in time . That may change with bigger investment and a new Stadium and/or a winning formula but looking at the top three this Season Hull, Sunderland and Peterborough and they are all spending massively more than us and have a better set up.Although ours isn't the worst I've seen.
Can I have some of that stuff you are on , happy pills I'd imagine2 wins off the play offs.................... still there to be had.
Unless of course you are a quitter like most of the fanbase.
Winners never quit, quitters never win.
.But the pendulum is moving at its quickest at the lowest point of the swing, and slows down as it approaches the highest points. Therefore most of the time the pendulum will be closer to the extremes!
We're a funny lot, especially when we lose, but but at least we aren't from Swindon!
Yes I’m generally optimistic but this part of the season is all about the teams in form, and we really aren’t. I think someone here produced stats about teams who lost in the playoffs often doing less well the following season, and we seem to have been a bit hungover for most of it. Got to say, today feels like the biggest failure of all, after playing well at Sunderland. I’d managed to rationalise Northampton as an aberration ...Can I have some of that stuff you are on , happy pills I'd imagine
Yes still possible but a hell of a lot of teams would need to capitulate and we seem to be more likely than any of them!
Something I posted on another thread regarding this season’s league results if you split them into thirds:
The form of Doncaster, Lincoln and in periods some of the others near the top were also really poor. I don't think anyone saw us as a dead cert, but looking at the games we had left to play compared to others I think we were at one point. Northampton and today proved that in reality we had a really good run that we didn't have the squad to keep up for the season. If anyone thinks we are realistic playoff candidates now even I'd have to say they're barmy!
I agree with your sentiment, but come on, you have to admit, apart from a nine game run mid season, we've been crap all season, and are so inconsistent, and although mathematically, we could still make the playoffs, all the other teams above us, are not only head and shoulders better than us, and at least 6 points ahead of us already, but they've all also got at least one game in hand on us as well.2 wins off the play offs.................... still there to be had.

Winners never quit, quitters never win.
I'd take Mide back and wouldn't complain but I think we can do better. Barker should be available again so we have to hope we can get him back with Cooper as back up, and then bring in a pacy specialist RW. If we get Mide on top of that great, instead of that and we have a problem.
Agree Shodipo has a better all round game than Barker, he'll do his bit at the back something we lack from most of our offensive players.
