Could you do the same for when we started winning (Late January) as I actually think it’d be even more impressive once you took those early games turning the oil tanker away from the rocks results out of the equation. I was chatting to a mate who's a Leeds fan after they'd secured promotion and he reminded me of chats we were having in the January of that year where we still weren’t winning, but thankfully hadn’t been cut adrift. I was still shitting myself that we were going down that year, as whilst performances had dramatically improved. The results hadn’t yet and things were looking dicey. But once we got the reinforcements that window, we genuinely haven’t looked back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 He's genuinely an elite level manager. We've still got a couple years of rebuilding to do squad wise and that's minus the elite infrastructure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once we got the reinforcements that window, we genuinely haven’t looked back. From just before the Leeds win. Tbh we've been so consistent overall since then that it more or less negates that initial bedding in period that Howe had.

Lotus Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Looking at that table it seems the big thing between the top 3 and the chasing pack is away wins. Away draws are similar with those above us. Home form is similar. But the away wins and losses are off. Our goal difference is way head of the chasing pack but some way behind the top 3. If was can start changing some of those away losses even into draws we’ll start opening the gap to the pack. I think catching the top is some way off but if we can firmly establish ourselves as better than Villa, Chelsea, maybe Spurs if they get a better coach then we’re in CL wonderland and the real building can begin.

This is where I am. There's been a top 3 for a few seasons now and there's a block of clubs behind that. We are in that block. I think we are a good summer window away from separating ourselves from that block and getting much closer to the top 3. 71 points 60 points Hopefully 68-71 points this season With a great transfer window and a bit of luck, we can probably land in the 72-84 bracket next season. Probably not enough to win a league title, but maybe good enough for a bit of a challenge and to make CL qualification default. I feel like we need a season like that pretty soon or our best players should want to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hovagod Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just now, Elliottman said: In what way? What about? Nothing major. Just when asked about Isak and transfers. It was more the manner he was answering the questions- a bit sharper and clipped. I don't know. Perhaps he is still feeling a bit under the weather. Nothing to worry about, mind, possibly just in my imagination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
