Iroala has done a fantastic job after the initial struggle to get his ideas and style across. Has adapted with what he has and you can only imagine them getting stronger with it now. If they finish above Wolves (which I now expect) its going to undo a lot of the press and media's "unfair to sack O'Neil." Pieces and segments from early on.

Moved goalposts I get but finishing outside the top half is going to be a disappointment after where we were prior to the injuries and self inflicted depleted choices, so next two are huge for us in that regard.

Well no it shouldn't be, obviously it's looking almost impossible now, but until its mathematical, keep it going imo.
Otherwise may as well shut the forum down till August.

Fairly concerned about Bournemouth & Fulham both finishing above us rather than anything else at this point. Given every penny counts, our aim as an absolute minimum should be to stay above those two. Anything else will be a bonus (literally).

It won't make a jot of difference to what we spend. It didn't in January when we'd budgeted for 17th and it was clear we were going to finish 15th worse case

We'll be lucky to break 50 points I suspect with our remaining fixtures. Three winnable home games but with the players missing can't see us winning all of them.

I think we can finish above Brighton. Only won 3 league games in 2024, De Zerbi perhaps having his head turned, badly faltering now and have Man City, Chelsea, Villa, Newcastle and Man Utd left to play.

De Zerbi perhaps having his head turned,

Or he isn't as good as the hype?

 

[big mean bunny]

Missing striker options like ourself though and yet still doing fairly well. Personally I am incredibly impressed with him, very well drilled but just missing that little bit of attacking quality occasionally.

 

[Tony Towner]

Given their injuries and Europe they've done alright, not underperformed imo given the context

 

[Alan]

Brighton have done well this season as we have. They’re no more blunders away from it all going up in smoke than we are. That’s life at this level until you’re qualifying for Europe year-on-year, IMV.

Exactly the same as GoN.

Made a calendar note to abuse the AI version of Jeff in 2042 when this doesn't happen

 

[Lupo]

More shocking than us winning it in 2042 is United winning in 2025!

Or Spurs in 2034

Could happen, Harry Kane as manager!

If we’ve got 1 FA cup in us before I die I’d be ecstatic, CL winners might also mean we’ve won a PL somewhere.
