Unfortunately, this 'settling' attitude can often work its way into the mindset of the team too. I've seen it too often recentlyQuite happy we are not top at the moment as this would put us on a bit of a pedastal and as we are already on one ''big spending Leicester city'' where we are now is nearly ideal.
Second would be good bit so long as we are in the top six with 6 games to go and are not addict of the top 2 I feel this would suit us as a club.
I am very encouraged by how we have been playing since the first few games and am really looking forward to being on TV on Saturday, hopefully with Nugent back.
Please let's beat Leeds on Tuesday as I work with two of their fans and a fellow Leicester fan...
gah, use some punctuation!!!
You're welcome, although quite where I suggested we were home and hosed is a mystery.Thanks for the advice.
May I impart some for you Ridders: since your team is synonymous with late season crumbles perhaps speaking of promotion as a foregone conclusion is unwise.
I think my point was that it's all well and good having a late run, the problem is if the teams above you keep winning too, y're going nowhere.I am not suggesting you don't go out to win, I was suggesting that so long as you are within striking distance with a few games to go, you can quite easily push on an finish in the top 2.
Palace have just had an exceptional run which may well be now at an abrupt end as did Midflesbrough. A few games later and they are back in the pack.
Millwall have just had a great run.
If I am being honest I can't see any of the three teams I have just mentioned making the top 2 come the end of the season.
I also can't see another team doing a reading.
So long as we are thereabouts I feel we have enough quality (perhaps with the addition of another couple of players in January) to get into the top 2 late on and stay there.
When you are top unless you are running away with it you are the team that everyone wants to beat particularly if you have spent a bit of dosh...
You don't have to go back too far to find the front runners go away and stay away.Invariably they don't though do they Rydal? :icon_lol:
I'm still sniggering at "Home and hosed"... lol
Anyone know whether I will be able to pay on the night as I live in Sheffield so can't get to the KP in time to secure a ticket??...
