at least now we can all think about next season, in the champ
some serious changes need to happen mind, mainly our midfield (no matter how well theyve played in the last 3 games)
the squad needs to be heavily trimmed since only 1 more yr of parachute payments, and we as fans need to be a hell of a lot more realistic with where we are as a club
And the club need also to think about their fans outside of the M25....... discrgace to sit up and try and form an opinion of my team from words being typed...
As for expectation.... well unless pards INSPIRES this bunch , cause he cant make that many chages, were here for a while with a team that is only gonna get worse as the years go by...... due to financials
i was more realistic than some at the start of the season and plumped for 4th (2nd very optimistically).
i really couldn't see us finishing outside the play-offs and i think it's pretty below par that we have in all honesty, regardless of the ins and outs.

Nothing to disagree with there, fortunately a lot of the squad building happened this year, but we still need to do a bit more tweaking and need a midfielder or two as well as a consistent and more competent defence, if we can cut some of the soft goals out then things immediately start to look better.
As for the fans being realistic, sadly you have two hopes, a few seasons of Prem football mean that there are too many who regard that as the minimum and failure to secure automatic promotion or even the play-offs is a disaster. Just log on tomorrow and I guarantee you'll see at least one thread demanding the sacking and/or public hanging, drawing and quartering of Pardew plus complaints that we should have signed this player, or kept Lisbie, not sold Reid, or played Elliot instead of Randolph etc...

Agree but there are also problems in defence and attack that need addressing.
I think the bank manager will ensure that the squad is trimmed and I personally feel that that will actually be beneficial for the club.
i know.....totally blind optimism but...if watford continue not getting a single point, there might be a place up for grabs beween wolves , ipswich and us

I like the last of what youve said at the end there... whats disappointing as well is all our ex players scattered all over the prem... pretty much, in fact I think, every match has had at least one of our ex players in.... and thats 5 matches...

Cut most of the squad's pay packet to £8.28 - the UK National Minimum wage for 90 minutes work. IMO that is all they should get given some of the recent home performances I have seen.
We drop points and voilla - Charlie puts in an appearance.

Cooome oooon, everyone loves that film!
Lets refrain from any super positive, optimistic posts about how we will win every other game now and snatch 6th spot, it aint gonna happen.
Cardiff A
Ipswich H
utter garbage not winning consecutive games since the beginning of December, we've got what we deserve
We drop points and voilla - Charlie puts in an appearance.
How was the trip Charlie?
