Just for a bit of balance, Portsmouth have yet to lose a game this season and are only top by 1 point and 5 points ahead of 5th place.

Tyler Durden Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 8 hours ago, oodledoodle said: No, as per my comment above, we need to finish top six minimum. Not sure why I came across like I'd be happy to not finish in the top six. I'm just pointing out we've not been in there all season. Which I'm not happy about. Hope that clears it up. I didn't understand the relevance of the comment that we've not been in the Top 6 yet with only 16 games played? Am sure that Oxford fans for example will take great solace in the fact that if they fall out of the Top 2 at the end of the season but they were in the top 2 places for the majority of the season? It counts for nothing. But yes I agree that us not finishing in the top 6 at the end of the season won't be acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtastic56 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 The glass half full in me says we have just had our best league result under Warne against a top 6 team and we could go to Wembley twice this season. If Wildsmith has to keep lumping it into the box for the rest of the season - so be it. Anything to get out of this god forsaken league. But next season will be a different “kettle of fish”.

Elwood P Dowd Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 We need the Automatic promotion postions as it is going to take us time to assemble a team for the Championship, I think we will need concentrate on that rather than the "will we \won't we" of the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's ultimately about where we finish, but it's clearly a useful barometer which can be used to appraise performances up to now.

Magicman Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Getting rid of weak links ( inconsistent ) in the squad is vital. Sibley, Hourihane and Barks for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 If we're where we are come January 1st then PW will have money to spend in the transfer window, If he fails to get us in the play offs then he's failed miserably, If he gets us in the play offs and we fail that might just give DC a little headache, If we win the play offs all well and good, If we go up in 1st or 2nd place all the Warne outers will be eating humble pie. As glass half full...PW still has a long way to go to prove he can be a success at DCFC, The inconsistency is very puzzling...imo angieram, jimtastic56, FlyBritishMidland and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is decided at this point, but it’s a pretty decent sample size for how the team is performing compared with expectations. We were favourites for the league title. We currently find ourselves 7th, 9 points off the top. That isn’t good enough, and shows Paul Warne is doing a poor job as manager. 16 games is enough to judge that this job is too big for him and sack him. In not doing so, Clowes is making almost as big a mistake as appointing him in the first place. MickD and Andicis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so we have to give Paul Warne the entire season then, irrespective of how we’re performing at any midway point? Righto. I’m sure all football owners agree with you, and no manager has ever been sacked for poor performance mid season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn’t good enough for me but I will apply this as a generalisation to the rest of the fanbase and shows Paul Warne is doing a poor job as manager no it merely shows that you think he's doing a poor job 16 games is enough to judge that this job is too big for him and sack him. In not doing so, Clowes is making almost as big a mistake as appointing him in the first place which is now not even a thinly veiled criticism of the club owner too Rich84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
