That's how it works? There are, right now, 17 teams who are sat below us because regardless of our philosophy or capabilities, they just don't have as many points on the board. Of course the quality in the rest of the division matters. The way you're putting it makes it sound like we'd finish midtable even if we were in League One, League Two, National League etc. There has to be teams who you think are better than we are if you're convinced we can't even come close to competing with them. You think we'll finish in midtable but can't even name one side who you think are better than us let alone 6, 7 or 8? I haven't seen one side Yet in this division that's Beasted us and I don't expect to either Link to post Share on other sites

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Warnock has said Brentford were too strong in midfield to risk overcommitting by bringing Roberts on. Which suggests he sees him as a bit of a luxury player and won't be starting many games while he's here. Link to post Share on other sites

The club is cutting the cloth to fit the town. The second in this hard unpredictable time it’s hard for any investor to plough money into a unpredictable businesses as football because the odds of actually getting a return on investment is extremely slim. We have all seen throwing money in hope of promotion is futile even in favourable times. The third, footballers and agents have milked the system for far to long, they are fragile, over paid demanding divas with little or no moral. I say use the system to bring the next generation of footballers through the club and not just educating them about the game but values and managing life in general. it’s of no surprise athletes from deprived areas have hunger and appetite to succeed. We have a relatively young squad averaging, I think 25 years old and if it was just a bit bigger and with a decent forward and wing man I would be content. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Well Warnock always said he wanted 4 strikers. Link to post Share on other sites

All down to Warnock and his coaching staff. Yes it's not pretty but it's bloody effective. It does sound better then saying we have won 4 games from 11.. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 @sanddancer were you not one of the posters who in pre season was convinced we were in for another season of struggle and yet now are not overly happy with fact we are currently challenging play offs?

I always wanted a Mercedes but the VW does a decent job.. I understand why he would and let’s be honest and frank, should he have got his wish and given our transformation I reckon we could have seen a points tally matching our promotion from second to first devision. Oh my I remember it so well, happy days. Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 381 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 According to Flashscore we had 55 dangerous attacks and Brentford only 33 Not sure how they count though. But it doesent paint the picture we play Pulis ball anyway..... Link to post Share on other sites

He said a few weeks ago that we could finish in the top 10 if we signed a few players. Well we didn't sign any players so I'm guessing he expects a bottom half finish.

Why are you asking me the question surly you must have researched my posts. Not sure what you are quoting me on but at the time of writing it would be a fair assumption of where we were and my thoughts at that time. Why do you assume I’m not content with our current position and what is the meaning of overly happy? I guess saying challenging a play off after 11 games in and 4 wins under our belt could be viewed as exciting don’t you think.. Link to post Share on other sites
