Why aren't we..

[cambridgeshire canary 7,797]

So, first it was Huddersfield. Then it was Sheffield United. For a little while before then it was Swansea, and right now its Forest and hipster favorite Brentford

 

But those are boring. Who else can we wish we were? I see Blackburn are unbeaten. So lads, why aren't we Blackburn?

Fixed it just for you 😘

[Petriix 3,219]

For me it will always be: "why didn't we stick with our winning system like Brentford did?"... 

We were better than them. They incrementally improved in their weakest areas while we ripped up our system and started again. Also a special shout out for Brighton who basically turned into a rich man's Swansea.

I bet none of those clubs have half time zorb action. 

[Iwans Big Toe 382]

Why aren't we scoring goals and winning games?

That is all.

Do other clubs have a director who speaks about not caring what the fans think and how he would rather be up a mountain? No?

 

Shows how world class we are 😉

I think you’ll find it was actually Charlton, first. But of course, now we’re glad we’re not.

Same old argument. It was only a winning system due to the players, I don’t believe we would have won the league at a canter without Skipp and Buendia.

When we lost one and sold the other, in hindsight I don’t think it mattered we changed the system. 

As you said Brentford incrementally improved their weakest areas, we massively downgraded our strongest.

Plenty of clubs have directors/owners who don't care what the fans think. I doubt the glazers are bothered about man utd fans as they pocket their 50 million a year. Newcastles owner was once caught saying Geordie girls were all dogs or something. 

Harsh as it is. Their priority is to make money if of it upsets a few people. So what.

Believe there was also a time gone by where we left Southampton behind after League One, then they overtook us, and that was the model to follow.

In fairness, its probably stood the test of time. 

[Greavsy 2,645]

Weren't we following the Charlton model previously too?

Over here groups of girls refer to each other as lads , as in cmon lads , "shots are half price down the road'. Or when watching ladies gaa football they'd scream 'cmon lads !!!'  .   'lads' is rapidly losing its gender. Same as 'Guys'... Women use that a lot to refer to each other.

but anyway corky, in this context it was clearly a lads lads reference wasnt it

To be fair you've been pretty relentless 'jerking off' as you put it about Nottm Forest's spending all summer.

Fair? Capt When does that come into it! 

I may be wrong but I think he has started some threads on other subjects too - happy to be corrected though! 😉

If anything I have been negative saying how it's going to ruin their finances and how that many players won't gell
