Didn't get many chances - plenty were playing poorly under Clement at that time too. Deserves a chance under McClaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It wasn't so long ago we were signing the likes of Leon Best on loan deals to cover our starting 11. Now we are in a position to be bringing players like Vydra, Nugent and Anya off the bench. Things are going just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's any good (which I doubt) why not, not better than two 'old stagers'? Says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Mac did before Christmas is highly commendable, but once again history. We start tomorrow 2 points outside the play-offs and 57 points to play for. Given the squad we have, l do think we will have failed if we do not make top 6 come May. To be fair l suspect Mac will feel the same. You must have a very selective brain - what MacClaren achieved before Christmas was exceptional and it cannot be taken for granted that it will happen again starting from now. If we don't make the top 6 in a very competitive season it will be down to the ***** under Pearson . You are ruling off parts of the season as 'history' cos it doesn't suit the argument you want to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me what @i-Ram is saying is, if you have just seen the table for the first time today (or a couple of days ago) regardless of what we have done and where we were, if we did miss out on the play offs would be a disappointment. I agree to a point, from this point to the end of the season if we don't reach the play offs it would be disappointing. But to get into a position where we are even thinking about the play offs after the start we have is bloody brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, though it might depend if we don't make it, how we don't make it if that makes sense. If we just bob around in seventh to tenth then yes that will be disappointing. If we are sixth on the last day and things conspire horribly against us and we drop out in the 90th minute, it's hard to say that on such a fine line it's failure.

90sRam Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'd be happy with us competing for 6th till the end of the season. If we get into the playoffs great, if not then next season we'll go again. Even if we did get into the play off spots, really can't see us winning it. What I want to see most from the team is a hard to beat mentality developing, which we can then carry over to next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 More confident finishing 6th and winning the play offs, than I would be finishing 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I think 4th is up for grabs. Top 3 of Newc, Brighton and Leeds. Rest of them nothing to fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be exerting pressure on Huddersfield in particular over the coming weeks imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be disappointed when what we've seen so far has been beyond my wildest dreams. I'm not too sure you know. Imagine how hilarious League one would have been.

SKRam Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Sorry not the correct thread but thought 'No good news' was as close as I could get to making an inquiry about our main shirt sponsor... ahem. I know it's not popular with many, me included,but was wondering how much longer the deal is for? Love the third kit but I can't buy a shirt with Just Eat emblazoned across the chest.

This is the last season with Just Eat. Expect that negotiations with a new sponsor aren't happening until we know our fate at the end of this season.

SKRam Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The name King would inspire for sure. I'd buy yet another not needed three quid to make shirt for forty five quid then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
