Am I alone?

Am I alone in looking forward to next season in the Championship. I am not being negative in my belief that we will be relegated, I am being realistic. In my opinion our fate was sealed a couple of weeks ago when we could only manage a goalless draw against Hull at home. I have been watching LCFC since 1970 and have seen it all before. We obviously want our team to do as well as possible and play the best teams, but I can honestly say that I have not enjoyed this season seeing us being beaten time and time again. Conversely I loved last season going to away matches at the likes of Watford, Barnsley and Huddersfield.

 

As to the Pearson "Should he stay or should he go" topic, I am sitting right in the middle of the fence. I am not saying he has not made mistakes this season, but could our current predicament be due largely in part to the fact that our squad is still very young with little or no PL experience.

 

 

So assuming we keep a majority of our squad together, I am looking forward to Huddersfield away next season.    

 

 

Am I alone.

I'm dreading it. It's like eating at Gordon ramsey's restaurant for a year and then being forced to dine at Greggs.

lets be fair. Realistically it will take some amazing form coupled with other teams playing badly to get out of the situation we are in. But its not over yet, there is a small glimmer of hope that we can somehow get out of this. I won't still hoping until it is mathematically impossible. It doesn't mean I'm deluded, but more of an optimist. If there wasn't hope in football, than the enjoyment of games would subside. If I thought we'd lose the next 9 games, it is hard to watch us. But if fans go in with the mentality that we can do this, however unlikely, it gives you an incentive tp go to matches

A load of overpriced shit?

 

I've been so disappointed this year as I've said before. Our results etc aside the quality on offer to watch from the oppo has been very very poor.

No, but if we start the season in the same fashion we did last season (W D W W L W W D W W L W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W W $ $ $ $ $ $ $ etc.) then yeah it will be most enjoyable. And it's quite possible, if we can keep the bulk of the squad together

I still think it will go down to the last game of the season.

 

It's a lot closer than people think, and we have a game in hand, albeit against Chelsea who may have nothing to play for then. Playing the three games directly above us means if we manage to get at least 7 points from them we have a chance, but even then we need to win a few more games.

Of course I'd rather we stay up but that has now become mission impossible. As far as the championship goes, going back there is not the end of the world. There are teams there that I would relish the chance of playing again. We've just got to make the best of a poor situation.

How could anyone look forward to the championship? It's incredibly competitive and there is no guarantee of success. Would you have the same view if we were half way down the championship after 20 games?

This season is awful, the way we have glibly given up by losing to crap teams. Ten years it took to get back, ten months it took to throw it all away.

The only problem is if it does go down to the last game, we will have had to endure months of moaning from people who don't know how the premier league usually (apart from derby)  pans out at the end of the season.

Wouldn't say im looking forward to it but it is nice having more games to go to - more games, cheaper tickets etc.

Also from a selfish point of view potentially being in the same league as Brentford, Fulham and QPR will be very convenient.

If you offered me next season's Championship kicking off next week I'd take it. This is unbearable.

The 2013/14 Championship I think we'd all take. Winning almost every game, being the best team in the league by miles, breezing past oppositions and even when we don't it falls for us (Yeovil etc.) a cup run and the reward of promotion.

 

But have you forgotton about 2004/05, 05/06, 06/07, 07/08, the end to 09/10, 10/11 11/12 and the horrendous run of 12/13?

 

The league next season will be rammed with decent teams. Of the three teams that have been relegated from the PL since the 07/08 season here's the number who have made an instant return...

 

(relegated in) 07/08- 1 (2nd Place)

08/09- 2 (1st & 2nd Place)

09/10- 0

10/11- 1 (via Playoffs)

11/12- 0

12/13- 1 (via Playoffs)

13/14- (only a potential of 1 with Cardiff and Fulham going nowhere)

 

It'll be hard, it'll be a slog and I guarantee within three months of the season starting you'll remember how crap and arduous it actually is. It's great and glamorous when you're winning every week, of course it it.

 

On the flip side if we are able to be as competitive as we were last season then with the way everyone beats everyone we might well make an instant return.

Im absolutely dreading it. Just the thought of the Championship makes me so sad.

 

Its such an arduous, drawn out process. Its just the thought of all the extra games, the dog eat dog randomness of the league married with the total lack of quality, it just fills me with dread. Or being off the pace at christmas and having so many games with nothing riding on them to endure.

 

Please someone spare me the "proper fans proper football" rhetoric, it doesnt wash im sorry.

 

We have wasted a golden opportunity to establish ourselves in the Premier League. It will take a long time to get over that next season.

 

I just want our club to be successful, and it hurts like hell seeing us down there.

For me maybe a relegation good benefit us.

Look when we got relegated from the championship .. Before that we never looked like a team that was going to get promoted.

Then bossing league 1, gave us the confidence for championship ( apart from Sousa and Sven was in charge)

Also I'm in he middle of the Pearson stay or go saga.

If he stays we know what he is capable in the championship no I don't think it will be long before he would get us promoted again, then hopefully he will learn from his mistakes this season and hopefully buy some more experience premier league players ( remember it's his first time managing in the prem)

But the thing I'm worried if we get a new manager and they go do a Sven. Potentially ruining what we have with expensive and over rated rubbish.
