But why was there such an overreaction with the celebrations on Saturday in the away end when the full time whistle went?
It was like we'd won 1-0. I saw arms flying around everywhere and gestures towards the home section to the right. I can't have been the only one who was thinking 'what is going on'.
FWIW, it was a great result, a point on the board that admittedly, I didn't think we would be getting before kick off but we drew the game, not won it. |  |

If we go down these ‘promising players’ won’t have been good enough.
And will they all want to stay? I doubt it. And who knows who would want to buy them anyway. It could be tricky.
And, also, will those who got us up but haven’t played much be keen to stay either? They may feel let down…
If you spend a fortune you have to stay up. Or risk massive player turnover (again). |
I think its unlikely to be too much of a problem, its not like relegation would equal none of our squad having a good season or being deemed good enough for the premier league, it doesn't work like that. If we go down we're still likely to have a few standout performers that attract interest and we could turn a profit or at least get our money back on - Muric, Davis, Greaves, Delap, Omari being some of the more obvious ones.
Like most clubs who go down we would likely sell off the crown jewels and retain a bulk of the rest, many of which should still be very strong at the level below. If we sold the 5 I mentioned we would surely get close to £100m in and still be left with a team like this:
Walton
Tuanzebe O'Shea Woolfenden Townsend
Morsy Taylor
Burns Szmodics Clarke
Hirst
And that doesn't include Ogbene, Chaplin, Broadhead, Burgess, Johnson etc or any additions we would make. That's the benefit of signing young players like we have. |  | | |

£10M for Muric?
£25M for Greaves?
£20M for Delap?
£20M for Davis
£30M for Hutchinson?
Something along those lines I think. |  |

Must admit, when I saw it on TV I thought the exact same thing.
No one seems to know how to stay cool anymore. |  |

If after 10-15 games we're celebrating draws against mid-table teams as if it's a win - then that's a bit worrying. Things have yet to settle down and we're working stuff out.
I'll take those draws as a positive and as a platform to build -but we've got to start winning at some point. Think some think all we have to do is beat a fellow bottom side and get the odd draw against a mid-table side to survive. Don't think it works that way. Forest win against Liverpool shows there are plenty of weird results and we can't rely on bottom sides losing and us outstripping them with draws. [Post edited 18 Sep 2024 14:01]

Most and probably KM himself saw our season start after the man city game. Therefore we are unbeaten so far In the league. |  |

Disagree.
Any home again is a chance for a win, or at least a point. Liverpool - first game back, brilliant crowd - was an opportunity.
Not an easy one! But a chance. |  | | |

Spoilt toddlers who are still at pre-school
When they are a bit older they will find out that 3 is a bigger number than 1 |
Which is why you liked it better when we were in the third tier as opposed to the first, I assume.
The Cobbolds are long gone now. Maybe you should be, too. |  |
