therapeutics in stoneham lane - excellent

being biggest and best side in the division and expecting to win every game

I have offered my thoughts as why he is talking about us, sure it will help them understand

always pleased to be a realistic fan.

and tomorrow for "small news update yesterday"?

just looking at the start of this old one, two posts which think some it up - both from Alps. three key positives for Nigel 1) Motivation / confidence - interview the other day from Rickie - he said players were convinced by manager that they were going up, kept squad happy etc 2) probably best in game manager since Hoddle 3) good relationship with Cortese vital

Another poll?

haven't added names as big as those at the top of the wish list on this forum! not convinced they were better than us either.

few of those hardly played a part in their season, and some others not the experiences / big names that are often quoted as being needed to take the step up

did they change their squad that much? Didn't realise.

Norwich have just been promoted into the premiership with the momentum gained from an amazing 2nd half season in league 1. That 2nd half season gained them 50 points. If we win our last game we will have 52 points from the 2nd half season. We have, I think, fairly comparable set-ups, fan base and managers. We may have more money??

already best from well before then imho

I wonder how he will be remembered? Best manager since...?

some more than others! truly hope you enjoy it - and get rid of the ridiculous unneccessary negativity for next season - it has been shown to be an unrealistic view!

go own, be more realistic next season mate

glad we stuck with Connolly / Lambert / Forte rather than silly money for 27 league 1 forward in CMs!

don't worry there were a lot more recent ones doubting! Not long ago a poster was saying achieving 2nd was insurmountable! Happy days and no need for anyone to feel bad!

no thanks, think we may have a much better one.

excellent 2 years from our chairman. We moan about board getting publicity but I hope Cortese enjoys some of the limelight over next week

the test was the last few weeks - not next season. The way he has dealt with the pressure and expectation in the last few weeks is admirable. It has shown through the players. He was confident enough to use different tactics. He knew this squad was good enough and didn't follow the fantasy football tactics advocated but some on here in January. Top performance and wish people had been as confident as him and not given up on 2nd etc

We were 8 points behind them when Adkins made that statement. We are now only 5 despite their good run. They couldn't keep up with us this season. If Adkins had preseason, or even was here from the start of the season it is pretty obvious we would have easily beaten them.

Since We played them at home and comment. Yes

No **** wit that's right

if they keep up with us!!! someone edit please!
