Tiresias Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 At the time I thought they'd done what fulham had done a few seasons earlier and there was no way changing so many players would result in a cohesive team that would stay up even if the talent was there. They did struggle but cooper got them over the line. I thought way to stay up was keep core of team that got promoted and try and bring in a quality spine to the team. However considering how well it has gone for forest, and how all the teams coming up have kept their squads together and really struggled i am questioning my own reasoning on this, maybe complete overhaul is the way.

We'd just been hammered by Brentford, while Spurs were battering City and you'd just appointed Amorim. It seemed canny unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs had just drawn at home to Wolves and lost to Liverpool and Forest before you played them with Ange already under serious pressure. Dressing it up as miraculous is weird tbh.

I totally understand why you'd be filled with apprehension given the previous record, but we've always been much better than you. That's not the case anymore, so I'm not sure why people think history would repeat itself. Teams are constantly coming to Old Trafford these days and breaking 30-40 year winless records.

Tbf if yous had started Mainoo yous probably would have been good Feels a bit like Howe playing Clarke early on and his red card against Norwich being the catalyst which transformed us. When I saw that midfield I put £20 on Newcastle -3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I for one would like to revel in our glory. If we beat Bromley then it's our best winning run in 33 years despite having played Arsenal, Villa, Man United, Spurs as part of that run. Slice it any way you like, in our history it's miraculous and we're going to enjoy it on that basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've beaten us under Howe when we've gone into it the better team, so whether it's that we hadn’t won there in 3 years or 12 years the point still stands. Records weigh heavier on clubs than people appreciate imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying a member of the big 7 beating other members of the big 7 isn't surprising. I think a few of you are just struggling with the transition of becoming a good team.

This is still the honeymoon period for me, a lot of the people who expect these wins seem like they experience very little joy in their lives as football fans to me. It's either rage or neutral.
