  1. Exactly and he wasn't building for the Premiership, he was building to get us out of the league that we're in and he looks like achieving that.
  2. Villa were the only team below us in the league.
  3. He'll get money to spend but being realistic only two other clubs will be building from a base of the Championship. The others will have Premiership teams and they're likely to have more money than us to spend.
  4. Realism isn't a weakness, he came here to build something and that's what he's doing.
  5. It's less than 1/3 of a point a game, hardly massive.
  6. Anita was brilliant for our second goal, I prefer Yedlin to him but he deserves massive credit for the goal.
  7. We're likely to be at a massive financial disadvantage.
  8. I'm fairly sure that if he's still here his target will be to stay up and if we do I'll see that as success.
  9. When Rafa arrived we were 8 points ahead of Villa.
  10. Expecting anything else will be totally unreasonable as we'll be up against clubs who have had the sky money to spend while we'll have peanuts from the Championship.
  11. Are you blind? We were almost as bad as Villa were last season and we were in total turmoil until Rafa came in.
  12. If we get promoted this season the only target for next season should be to stay up. The season after is where we'll see what he's really capable of if we're playing in the Premiership.
  13. His personality reminds me a bit of Bellamy, he's always moaning at somebody. He's been one of our best players this season and he's been much better than I expected because I didn't realise how much work he gets through.
  14. Rafa has had to turn the whole club and fanbase around and he's done that seamlessly, he's been just what we needed.
  15. He's brought in some good players and he had to balance the squad with players who wouldn't be knocking his door down when they weren't getting games. Ritchie, Gayle and Clark have been a great signings, Hayden a good signing and Atsu is better that I expected. The biggest error in his transfers for me has been Sels, the others have done a job, even if they haven't all been spectacular.
  16. We don't get points for the wage bill, Rafa is doing as good a job as anybody could be doing. Wagner has had no pressure to work under until recently and they're seriously faltering now that the pressure is on. Huddersfield play the ball around well but they haven't got a plan B and are paying the price for that now.
  17. No, we were playing well at that point and we could have lost and still gone up.
  18. I haven't felt nervous at all this season, at least not after we beat Reading at home.
  19. Mick

    I can't wait for these to implode. They're down.
  20. Lascelles had a really poor game and Hanley looks like he has lead boots on and had a couple of metres on the attacker who got to the ball a couple of metres ahead of him. Watching Lascelles is like watching something off Laurel & Hardy, he's comical at times.
  21. Was that where we had loads of chances and we failed to put a tackle in?
  22. There was only going to be one winner today, we gifted them their goal and they took it well.
