Sorry mate my very good friend from Sussex says it all the time, then when we screw up he's almost suicidal every time we converse over the phone. Some of my friends on the coach say the same, feeling very dejected as a consequence !

Believe me I'm hoping we can do it but my way of dealing with our constant disappointments is going with low expectations. I don't intend to let the b*gg*rs get to me again.

We do have as much chance as any of the others, Derby, Bristol and Boro are inconsistent, so too are the baggies, Villa are on fire but on the law of averages they can't keep this run going, with Grealish out they are very ordinary, we can but hope he is, doubt we'll play as bad as the last 2 games again.

Believe my friend, believe.

At least we'll be playing on big pitches & the players could be given a rest which they probably need right now

You'll be there at Wembley with the other 35.000, on cloud 9 when we beat the Baggies 3-2 in the final.
Never seen Leon so down after a football match Ges, it's not like him at all. Even when he's returned home after the disappointments at Wembley & Cardiff he wasn't miserable.
Anyway he's back to his chirpy self again now, must be my cooking :)

I have felt for you these last few days ;-)

And you're very likely correct, a way to a mans heart and all that and he's always praising your cookery skills.

I'm pretty sure Rita Ora is and has been working away in the back ground with regards to the transfer window close season. I'm they have two lists, one for Promotion and one for Championship, so depending on what happens over the next few weeks will depends on what list we will go for depending on budget.

Whatever happens over the next couple of weeks of so we will all be there next season cheering on like we where this. I'm just so glad that we are all talking about disappointment of just "so far" missing out on automatic promotion, how fat we've come, even just from last year, massive improvement. An I cant wait to see what next year now brings, whether that Premier league football or not, this club has turned a corner a huge way. Bring on the playoffs and next year. C'mon!!!!! MOT

I thought the same thing after we went up under Wilkinson. That squad was much better equipped to handle the top flight than Bremner's was. Although, after 1987, it did go bad before we got things going again. We didn't go up the next year.

But, I would see much optimism to go up next year, if we fall short this year. We probably would lose a couple of players. Pablo might be a year older. But the bulk of our squad is on the younger side. 12 months adaptation to Bielsa ball. A couple more signings. More young players coming through. If we didn't make it this year, I'm sure we will next year.
