What a relief?

Re: What a relief?

It's been a poor season, no question and there is a bit of a lack of enthusiasm around the club on and off the pitch at the moment.

I never really thought we would go down mind, not least because everyone around us seemed so poor. When Reading lost points, it seemed like things were falling into place to stay up

Blackpool and Rotherham away wins were fantastic. Would be great to end with a good win in front of a big crowd today

Re: What a relief?

I think i said around January that our defence was always decent enough, and if we found ourselves a goalscorer we'd be OK. We were safe later and more uncomfortably than I like but we're ending the season with a few positives. It would round it off nicely if we could spoil Warnocks and Bellamys parties.

Re: What a relief?

It is most definitely a relief. We’ve been hanging around just outside relegation zone for most of the season. One extra loss (instead of a win) and we could have been extremely close going into the last couple of games. I do think at times we have been really unlucky this season. We’ve conceded many goals very late on into 90 mins but then again the good clubs don’t do that and we have to find a way to stop this - I believe Sabri has already gone quite a way to preventing these events. The lads deserve a congrats for avoiding the drop but it is certainly not all smiles as thing could have been worse.

What I personally want for next season - first a foremost not to get relegated. To challenge more in mid table would feel like progression. I would be very happy if we come mid table next season. I’m not expecting anything more than this and I certainly do not want another season like this one (or worse). Let’s hope we can get some good loan deals to help us until the embargo is finally lifted next summer.

Re: What a relief?

The worrying thing is, take out our loan players and I'm not sure this team would finish even midtable in league one.

Re: What a relief?

Easily my least favourite season in recent memory. I went into it with cautious optimism. Unless there are sweeping changes (which there can't be if the embargo is a thing) then I will go into next season dreading what's to come. So less relief and more worried for the future, I'd say.

Isn’t this what we signed up for though as city fans? Stress and worry? 🤣 🙄

This season might have just woke the board up IMHO, and it was always going to be a season of transition.

The appointment of Lamouchi was masterful. I just read on Twitter the manager :-

Inherited a squad which was winless in three months

Been without Callum Robinson for 2 months

Only able to sign one player in January ( and he didn’t sign him)

Improved the likes of Etete and Philogine

Has a huge fixture backlog towards the end of the run in

Re: What a relief?

You threw he towel in after Christmas you almost appear to be sad that we have stayed up

Don't be daft

Anyone who is now saying they KNEW we would be ok.... until that win at Rotherham ....is bullshitting

You are not kidding me

A defeat at Rotherham and everyone deep down would have been absolutely bricking it

That one game has done it

And even yesterday plenty were praying for that draw at reading

You would like to think so

If Sabri thinks he can get a tune out of this squad and we can bring in loans then maybe we can aim for mid table

No one KNEW we’d be okay. Likewise no one KNEW we’d be relegated, but plenty of people acted like it.

I thought we could go down, but I didn’t think we would. There’s a difference.

I was one of the more optimistic ones, I said for months we were playing okay and were one decent goal scorer away from turning a few losses/draws into draws/wins. Up step Sory Kaba. Who’ll hopefully get a good send off today (assuming he doesn’t come back).

Get rid of the also rans and get in some decent year long loans or we will be bottom 6 all season

Well there is reason in there I suppose
