Go back to August, and remember the thoughts every single one of us had about this coming season because of the absolute s**t show with all these release clauses in the plsyers contracts.
EVERY single one of us would have taken 41 points from 21 games,
because in any other season that would have you very comfortably in the automatic promotion spots,
But because it doesn’t this year, as two teams have started this season better than anyone else in the history of the championship people are losing their minds,
Just think about where we were just 5 months ago,
Criticising an owner who didn’t have enough money to spend, we practically forced him to sell,
We had new owners come in,
We had 11 or 12 first team players walk away on contracts not worth wiping your arse with,
Players telling us they’re staying, then leaving within 24hrs,
players threatening legal action in the last days of the window to force moves,
we had a new manager come in on the very first day of pre season ffs,
he’s had to build a team so fast his head was spinning,
yes there are positions that still need addressing, but that simply can’t happen overnight,
We then had players refusing to play once the season had actually started, then again a player threatening legal action to force a move,
The club was in complete turmoil from top to bottom,
41 points is an absolute fantastic achievement by Farke so far,
Yes we’ve dropped points, but we won’t win every game, it’s simply not realistic to think any team will.
If Leicester & Ipswich continue on their run, so be it, absolutely nothing we can do about that.
I personally am very happy with how the season has gone so far, in fact it’s been better than I ever thought it was going to be back in August, knowing how relentless this league is
I’m sure there’s events I’ve missed off from this narrative, but please just be truthful with yourself, deep down you’ve got to be happy where we are now, compared to August.
NOBOBY saw what Leicester are doing coming, let alone Ipswich.
We all know, it’s not how you start, but how you finish in this league.
