Howard Canitbé Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 For anybody that has Twitter, click on the thing to vote and see the results. For those that wisely stay away from such sites, the standings at the time of posting: Brighton 30% Derby 20% Hull 23% Sheffield Wednesday 27% Possible reasons: - Vote represents proportion fans of each club that are actually on Twitter who have voted for their own club. - People vote against their least favourite out of a weird spite. - We're actually the underdogs, despite our pre-season favourites for promotion tag.

Stats don't lie: only 4713 votes have been cast, a far cry from 15mil. Sorry Bris. Still, more followers than I've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Last time in the play-offs everyone (bar forest) wanted us to do it. A brilliant brand of football was being played with a young and vibrant squad which cost next to nothing. This time I feel like we are the QPR of last time. We've spent a bit of cash and therefore people will want us to fail. I think it will spur us on personally. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Think the reputation of bottlers is still hanging around. Time to prove a few people wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a point. Lost against 10 men last time we reached the final, despite outplaying them all game. Spent all season in the top 6 last year and dropped out in the final game of the season. This season had a strong start, top at Christmas, fell away in February so we panicked and sacked our manager. However I think we've done well to stay in the play-offs and it would be nice to finally kick that unfortunate "bottlers" reputation we've acquired.

Bottlers dont lose despite playing well, bottlers dont turn up. Other two points are valid, although I don't think sacking PC was all that panicky. He was boring as ****.

Perhaps the extended run of losses was just a convenient excuse to dump him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramos Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Two years ago everyone loved us now no one does. As soon as we do get promoted you also know that every pundit cannot wait to bring up the 11 point season. I already know if we do go up, first game of next season jeff and the boys will have a montage of that season. I can already see Paul Jewells face.

G-Ram Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Most pundits had Leicester to get relgated, it changes nothing. Like i said in another thread pundints know nothing outside the top four premiership sides and a lot of football fans in general know nothing about the championship unless their sides in the divison and they watch it. Id honestly say its a tough call who wins it. I think we can do it but there is equally as good an argument for brighton, hull and weds. Id prefer to meet wednesday in the final though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
