Next season

Mixers seem to be looking at the chump through rose tinted spectacles. As I have said ad nauseam I spent all of my 20’s in this awful division (1989-2003) - it’s easy to get stuck in it - look at wba, stoke and Leicester plus I don’t think RE is the man to get us out of it.

You did well to be in your 20s for 14 years. My wife has a similar affliction with sums…

I don’t WANT to ‘be on TV very often’. I want to go to fames, enjoy the excitement, the experience, the atmosphere even at age 75 … and the 4 hour return drive. Give me that on a Saturday afternoon in the cold & rain, not a cup of cocoa in front of of my TV in the living room… (or id that ‘dying room’?). I want to LIVE!

Enjoy Thursday nights and Sunday lunchtime games in the Chump... It's no better for TV screwing the fixture list.

I watched a championship game, Blackburn v I can't remember maybe Bristol City. I was shocked how bad the referee was. Total neutral, he booked a player for high boot when the defender had ducked to head the ball. I hate var to, but we have to remember those bad decisions will now stand l am thinking Baathsending off as one

Would rather moan about the ref than about VAR any day of the week. Ball goes in the net, celebrate, no worry at the back of your mind that some git in Stockley Park will poke his nose in. Bring it on.

I wonder who will be the first to say if there was VAR that wouldnt have been a goal when we concede :)

Yes - of course there are some, but just check the fixture lists for the next few weeks and compare how many are 3:00 (or even 12:30 - not too bad) on Saturday; no comparison!

Nearly all games will be broadcast on SKY next season as the 3PM blackout may be lifted.
 
The championship is purgatory, always finishing just outside the playoffs is awful but i think we will slide down that league too. Its going to be dreadful and a real come down

In the championship we will be seen as a scalp to knock over next season

So , early prep good pre season and a fast start please . None of this window dithering . Identify who is wanted and get them early and give them pre season to bed in keeping 20m in reserve for last minute tweaks
The best chance to come back is the first season especially if we keep some or all of the better players .

Coventry had a fast start. Their fans are now in squeaky bum time.

Yeah……”dying room”……good analogy.

‘If you don’t move you rust’ is my motto.
 
There are two big positives I can think of, though both have caveats.

No VAR, of course. Though there's moves to get in into the Championship.

The main one, again with a huge caveat, though, is actually winning football matches. There was a report "The Hardest Done By" report assessing all English league clubs over the past 5 seasons. We were one of the worst. In total wins over 5 years, something like only 10 clubs had won fewer games - and this was before this season, so we are probably the worst by now. A club can't keep that going for year after year without descending into misery. I seriously think this has got to the players who have been here through that. The likes of Joao and Hwang who have been in a relegation battle for nearly all of their time here.

Imagine the morale boost that winning more than 2 or 3 home games a year will bring! I'm older and wiser enough now to know that how we win doesn't matter. Pretty football is for the entitled few and short term nonsense that always fails in the long run, like Bielsa's Leeds. Just winning more than we lose..the thought of it. That's what we've missed and it's what we need.

We need to get the momentum of the club going upwards and that means actually winning matches, not just talking up the club and waffling on about how well players have trained and so on. I don't think we have any hope this season (I doubt we will win more than 2 more games), but in the Championship, hopefully we won't struggle so much at the lower level. Oh, the caveat is that we may just continue in free fall. I don't think it likely, though it is a real possibility.
 
Hopefully these player sales will help to minimise any price rises

Portsmouth, Milwall and Hull on a cold, wet Tuesday night should be loads of fun.

I live in the East Riding and everyone around here thinks they'll get promotion. It will be hard for me being a lonely Wolves fan living here watching Hull in the Prem. Not sure how I feel about Wrexham, should they get up, being in a higher division than us?

He’s right to put IF in capitals. It’s a very big IF under Fosun too. Not sure exactly how weak the championship will be come Aug, but there really is no excuse for us to not be challenging strongly for top two. It’s far from certain though with these owners I’d say. Serious work to do

Yeah you’re right

But I would always rather have points on the board than play catch up . Our starts in recent memory, are abysmal and that has to change
 
There really is no excuse next season. The Championship - quality wise - is the absolute pits by comparison to the PL.

Look at the state of that Wrexham squad. How is that anywhere near the play offs?!

Hull…

I watched Hull 4-0 down against Boro after about half an hour - might have been a one off…

****ing Millwall with players like Joe Bryan, LUKE CUNDLE and Jake Cooper - dear me.

It’s an awful league. Awful standard. If we aren’t in the top 2 by the end of it then we need to ask serious questions.
