I saw that comment about us on every opposing teams forum in 15/16 - right before we played and beat them. It's pure snobbery. Nope. Not accurate. We had some of the best players in the league. They haven't got a single player who'd make a top half side. And most wouldn't make a bottom half side. It makes their achievement very impressive. But don't kid ourselves that they are any good.

Individually they aren't anything special but the system and the way the players compliment one another is priceless and more effective than anything Man Utd and the like could try and simply purchase off the shelf. They don't need the so called technical ability from key players, as long as Wilder keeps them progressing and bringing in the eight players who can play their unique system then they'll stay a top 8 team comfortably. It's great to see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many ways to skin a cat. The real test will come next year when people are more aware of what they do. Can they adapt. But right now, they’re a good team doing the business for their manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 9 February 2020 Share Posted 9 February 2020 Wilder's history shows he's a manager that gets results at whatever level. He's used to being near the top of leagues and I'm sure that is helping him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on the most generous of sensible predictions there can't be more than 11 points there, realistically 7-8.

Finnegan Posted 9 February 2020 Share Posted 9 February 2020 Love to see the mass panic of the big clubs when Leicester and Sheffield United get in to the Champions League. Man Utd and Arsenal will be screaming, banging on the doors of UEFA begging for closed shop European Super League. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 9 February 2020 Share Posted 9 February 2020 £30million!? That price has a Bournemouth or Crystal Palace signing written all over it. If we could get him for half that I'd be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 9 February 2020 Share Posted 9 February 2020 There'll definitely be at least one petition to stop it happening if us, Sheffield United or Wolves get in the Champions League. Arsenal Twitter fans love a petition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 9 February 2020 Share Posted 9 February 2020 3 hours ago, KingsX said: Bournemouth are down aren't they? I dont think its as harsh as it looks at first glance. They will be looking at beating Palace, Newcastle and Southampton at home. They are on 26 pts currently and 35pts might be enough to stay up, any points from the rest of the matches will be a bonus.

I'd love it too for next season. We started off a bit of a trend in having a surprise success season but finding it difficult to take that same squad into Europe the following season - Burnley and Wolves have both done that since, and Sheffield United might have the same issues. I think we have a good chance of staying in the top 4/Champions League permanently as we have a more sustainable squad and model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's really mentioning the likes of O'Connell though, I'd throw Baldock into the mix too, both worthy of a call up imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
