Quote from: Chris Black come back on January 07, 2020, 07:13:22 pmNot done them much good mind. They have never done more than a single season in the Championship and aside from when Ferguson got us relegated to League Two, they have barely ever been in a higher league than us in recent memory. They might have made money but they are cack.This is a good point. For all their business model is being talked up and their great signings vaunted a lot, they have finished outside the Play Offs in League One five years in a row. We beat them to it last year having signed only a couple of free transfers and two teenage loanees before the season started.

You do realise he’s got them promoted twice before out of this league ♂️

Barry Fry does the recruiting at posh, doesn’t he.

And yes he took us out of this league as well as roversdude said. Let’s see where his Posh team end up this season. More chance of another P45 for DF than promotion imo. Just really pleased we have a proper manager now & not that incompetent, tactically inept, self centred one we did have.Just my opinion OK.
Our form is the complete opposite, good against the top sides and struggled against the bottom sides

Or, at least, it's a bit more complicated than that.Our form against sides from 13th and lower is:P9 W3 D5 L1 Pts 14 PPG 1.56So in fact our form against the bottom half sides is marginally better than it is against top half sides. Of course, for most teams, by definition, you expect to pick up significantly more points against bottom half than top half sides, so in that sense, you're right that we have done RELATIVELY not so well against bottom half sides. That actually augurs very well for us if we do make the play-offs. We'll have made the play-offs by being strong against good sides. Unlike Peterborough for example, who are the very dictionary definition of flat track bullies.PPG against top half sides: 0.67PPG against bottom half sides: 2.33
Are we judging performances against higher and lower teams based on where they are in the table now, or at the time when the match was played.?Take Portsmouth for example, when we played them at home they were well below us but now they are not.. Does that mean we lost that match to a higher or lower team.?I’m firmly in the camp which has the next game always as the most important and potentially the hardest, regardless of the opposition..
Quote from: redarmy82 on January 07, 2020, 10:34:03 amJust splashed out 500k on a midfielder.Smaller gates than us, wonder why we can't follow suit? Not a negative post. Just a reasonable question on an open forum. Not everything is negative just because someone doesn't like it.Another negative opening post. No surprise.
