It's also nonsense.
Quite.
Expectation can be based on our historical “place” in the footballing world, which for some is based upon our years in the lower leagues and for others our more recent and relatively successful spell of top-half Championship, the promotions and the cup runs. We’re also based in an upwardly mobile capital city with a potentially massive catchment and our stadium is used by the national team, so there are reasons to expect a certain level of success.
The other side of Expectation is around the current team and let’s be honest, few of us are convinced by the performances on offer this season. I’ve seen a lot of posts about teams from recent years (Whittingham, Chopra, Earnie etc etc) where there was a level of excitement that isn’t there with this team and I’d have to agree.
So, some of us have heightened expectations of the club, but are not convinced that this set up will achieve it, hence the criticism.
Although I think a promotion would set us back, making the playoffs might not be so bad, if it encourages the club to invest in the summer.
