My gran always used to say that City were great to Xmas and then went down hill after, so we will see.
TBH, I never felt like we were pushing the top 6, even when we were, I wasn’t convinced, this season I’m a bit more optimistic, not because we’re top, but because we look a team. I’m still doing it 10 at a time, but the first 10, were good & the second 10 are doing well, so optimism is rising. But I’m not going to go OTT until we are finished.
I went playoffs as, even after last season's collapse, with any strengthening we did close season we should easily have been good enough for a playoff spot minimum. Who knows, but would love to see is win a league title in my lifetime.
If we can beat Sunderland and Portsmouth, having beaten Ipswich, I think we will be sound. The only team that will do us over is Hull City, we just need to keep plugging away and hope injuries don’t start biting.
Good summation, I think. There was something rotten in last season's squad, I'm guessing we'll never know what but the way they played latter end was truly shocking to watch. This season's lot are a whole different affair, they're playing for each other battling and working nonstop - it bodes well.
ST got it right, as it stands the only team that will beat Hull City is Hull City... but then they did beat us home and away last season,
It'd be nice to know the background to last season's shambles but as you say we probably never will. I did wonder if the senior players just didn't like Terry? Thought they deserved better?
Well 65 posters are completely wrong. Just 17 automatic and 30 Play offs posters left to fight it out.
I wonder how many posters checked the thread to see if you had made a prediction. I know thee DMD - even more closed than a closed book!
