Think that's what most owners/managers would settle for. Of course we could always go for over promise, under achieve, then you really would be apoplectic.

Sorry, I promise I'll be more negative in future. Absolutely sick of us winning games and scoring from crosses Mellon out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`ve only seen us the last 3 games and we look a poor side. I've no idea where all this money has gone, it's certainly not been spent on quality players. That said, if Latics do get promoted via the play-offs, it illustrates how awful the standard is in this league. A few are saying "it's a tough league" etc. It's not, the standard is dreadful. The pub teams analogy is fair from what I've seen. That's exactly why Chesterfield are already 23 points clear of anyone else i.e. a decent side and you sail through this so called tough league. If I was the owner, I would be seething. With the amount of money we have allegedly thrown at it, we should be promoted this year. If we are not, that is failure in anybody's book. It's all down to the inability of those trusted to put together a good side, not to have put together a good side. Simple as that. I do find it a bit odd that you can be so adamant about the standard of the league, of our squad, whether money has been invested wisely or not and whether not getting promoted would be failure or not all off the back of watching only 3 games.

I agree that it's just one of many skills he possesses and why he's a proven success in managing football clubs isn't it? Not like these "young and progressive" managers who have a certain "identity" but wouldn't know success if it bit them on the arse. Luckily the vast majority of our fanbase aren't so easily fooled by that nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, somebody said he’s not been in there recently because he’s been in his garage burning effigies of 5PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A multiple promotion/title winning manager in the lower leagues, yet because he doesn’t play 442 you harp on about the Kewell days. I agree those games were entertaining (80+ goals in a season was it?), but we also conceded 70+ didn’t we? Give me pragmatism and 3 points every day of the week. And please please please, stop harping on as though there’s no hope unless we adopt a 442 formation. Jesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple fact of the matter is Dan Gardner is now out the first team picture and he's not responding to BPs emails we could be 20 points clear at the top and it wouldn't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
