Convict Colony

Posted this in the monkey chicken petting zoo post but more relevant here. Ah, the Championship conundrum: where our players are "too good" for the league yet not quite good enough for the Premier League. I am not even sure the squad we had last year was "too good" for the league. If we're to bounce back, we need more than just the gravitational pull of parachute payments; we need the kinetic energy of tactical innovation, something to galvanise both the team and probably more importantly the fans. We were fortunate last year in the championship that only a few of the team's high pressed enough into mistakes leading to goals, next time round everyone will be doing it next year, we need a different approach.

Already been spell checked

Hopefully they all now have personalised garmin watches that tell them all how useless and unproductive they are.

It takes some doing but this run has finally killed my optimism, we are trash.

Just a genric question as "premier league qualified" is repeated so often. What qualifies a manager to be a premier league manager ? as its phrase that is used to distain so many other managers in other leagues.

Am predicting very few shots on target if any, at least 5 self inflicted errors in our half by playing out from the back. The word brave will appear post match and our best available players will not be the starting XI.

Finally a joke about it 💪

Wait are you trying to make this thread about you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If we all said you are right and we are wrong will that make us play better football 😔

I'm am getting the feeling that people on this forum make stuff up.

Someone get up a tree and find out whats happening

Vasco Matos tactics, fairplay to Santa Clara though they are doing great this season recently just beat sporting away, 4th in league. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/head-coach-analysis/vasco-matos-santa-clara-202425-tactical-analysis-tactics "Santa Clara’s defensive compactness allowed them to barely receive any goalscoring chances against themselves."

Honestly the longer martin stays in the job the more i think about what is really the plan and what would explain SR's reluctance to sack him. As crazy as it sounds I am starting to believe that we got promoted too quickly last season for SR and us as a club. The damage was done the previous seson both with amount of money spent and managers paid off we were in all or nothing situation to stay which has hurt us massively last season and this from a PSR perspective, we spun the dice and ended up oweing the house. We get promoted last season but our PSR situation was still massively constrained and a large portion of our budget on transfers were already locked in, meaning we arent able to get the quality upgrades we needed to play our way in premier league, primarily forward line and midfield. I think SR have now factored this in, expect us to be relegated, tighten the belt a bit and go again next season (maybe with Martin) and be able to spend more if we go up and get the quality we need.

thank god, i need my weekend fix of elaborate mistakes in our own half leading to goals.

Fuck it 2-0 to us, first away win of the season

Probably the same time his paramilitary Serbian hitmen do.

I'm not even sure money grabbing agents and mercenary players are desperate enough to join this shit show.

Talking of germany Ralph has Wolfsburg purring, won last 3 games and 8th at the moment not too far behind top 4
