Promotion isn't a target in itself - it's a inevitable consequence of attaining the targets. I always got what he was driving at and didn't sign up to the "Mel doesn't want promotion " brigade. For once I think I was in a silent majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see us improving enough with just a manager change to get top 2 and then win the playoffs if we get top 6. I think Newcastle and Norwich will finish top 2 Norwich won't finish top 2 if they defend like this. Absolutely shocking defending from both teams for all 5 goals.

Grantona Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 This current crop of mainly "bottlers" are not fit to lace the boots of the late 60s and early 70s title-winning teams (McFarland, Gemmill, Lee, George, Hector, Hinton, Mackay, Nish, Newton, Todd, Hennessey, Durban, Webster, Green, Boulton etc........).

George I'm afraid joined after our titles (summer 1975) and I have a feeling that the same might be true of franny Lee. But I get the sentiment. Ps you missed st bruce rioch of the thunderbolt.

To be fair those players you mention are A listers, where as we only have B listers here whilst we are in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have memories of Lee from the next season - notably against leeds and watching the highlights of our 6-2 at Ipswich on the final day. So I checked and you are correct sir. I didn't realise he only made 62 appearances for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
