They seemed to lose in the Play-Offs every year, they sold Dyer to us, finally got promoted that season, then finished 5th with the likes of Wright, Bramble, Venus, Holland & Stewart. Took it to the last game to finish 3rd which would have been Champions League. That team played some fantastic football during the season - fully deserving of their finish - obviously couldn’t keep it going, but take nothing away from them - fair play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Oh aye, it was a definite one-off. Marcus Stewart for example was a good second/third tier striker but was on fire that year. Bramble probably went on to have the best career out of the group which says a lot. Matty Holland seemed a dependable midfielder but nothing special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Us finishing 5th with Williamson, Santon, Raylor, Jonas, Shola, Leon Beast, Guthrie etc. Â A few quality players and a shit hot streak from Cisse got us there... and obviously a great team spirit and morale.

Superior Acuña Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Liverpool under Rafa and Chelsea under DiMateo were teams that won the CL and nowhere near the best team in Europe. The latter finished below us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 38 minutes ago, duo said: Do we lose the 5th place CL slot if they do? No - top 5 guaranteed  Man U just get an additional slot as Europa winners  Can have a max of 6 places - 7 if Villa win CL and finish outside top 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Forest the last time they finished 3rd were pap on face value and quicky found their level thereafter but were much better to watch than current Forest. Combination of promotion momentum, Collymore's brief hot-spell and Bryan Roy's one and only good season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krul Colo Cabaye Tiote Ba were excellent throughout the season. Cisse, HBA, Ameobi came up big when needed too. Jonas put in a shift.  But it wasn't a strong team and it never got close to repeating.  44 minutes ago, duo said: Do we lose the 5th place CL slot if they do? No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Our bench tonight: Olsen, Disasi, Mings, Maatsen, Garcia, Asensio, Onana, Malen, Watkins. Â I don't think we've ever had a stronger bench, and after a season of injury decimation, we've got almost everyone fit at just the right time. Â And having said that, we'll put in a shit performance against Brighton, because, well, Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
