"best forward line"
"best players "
"Worse case scenario......"
Piling on the pressure. Can Bowyer take it ?Can he turn our form around ?
Blimey, golfie if you did everyone's Covid tests there wouldn't be one positive across the whole country!

The worst case scenario before TS came long was we'd go out of business.sammy391 said:‘Worst case scenario is another season in league one’

Listening to the positives in that interview it's worth remembering that Wigan could very well be in our position & us in theirs .....or worse. Thankfully Wigan is a "rugby town"PrincessFiona said:

I actually felt TS's goals were the proper balance between ambition, realism and accountability.1. Not giving up on this season2. Aiming for automatic promotion next year3. Five years after that to the EPL4. Three years after that for upper half ot table.Obviously, that is very hard but I guess I should remind everyone that just in the last 10-15 years Southampton, Wolves and Crystal Palace achieved ALL that in even less time.We should have goals that are hard to reach. I find these qualify as "stretch goals" for sure but not impossible ones.In the great business book "Measure What Matters" by John Doerr, he learned over the years in his businesses that if you set your goals high (but not impossible) but fall short you are still usually better off than if you set modestly achievable goals and actually reach them.4

I've seen nothing in the past few months that shows me Bowyer can turn this around. If we continue playing the same between now and the end of the season I can't see any way TS keeps him on. I'd go as far as saying, if we continue to lose and ship goals over the next few games, he could pull the trigger sooner.Callumcafc said:
Why so confident?J BLOCK said:
He won’t be in charge for the first game of next season, confident on this.Covered End said:I can't see Bowyer lasting past October unless we are already promoted (unlikely) or a strong top 6 contender.
In his own words, he believes we have the best squad in the league. We could be 11th once those around us play their games in end. Unacceptable.4 -
So we should accept failure?PrincessFiona said:

And this ⬇️
No problem with ambition or having targets that "stretch" you. However, they have to be realistic. Assuming we are still in League 1 next season we will be 1 of 24 teams trying to gain promotion. Some will only have eyes on survival but most will start the season thinking that this is their time (or certainly the chairman / owner will). The last 2 times we have been in this division it's taken 3 years. First time it took a great manager & the nous to buy the best players in the league. Last time it took a last minute goal. 3rd time around might need more of the first than the second. It wont be easy & if one (or more) of Forest, Sheff Wed or Birmingham get relegated it will be that much harder.I actually felt TS's goals were the proper balance between ambition, realism and accountability.1.

Sometimes a touch of realism is needed along with the rhetoric.2 -
How is it accepting failure? Yes we could, maybe should be doing better. I was just responding to people's description of the 'worst case scenario'J BLOCK said:

You’re comparing us to Wigan and bringing up the ‘going out of business’ scenario.PrincessFiona said:

Wigan fans would love to be in out positionBowyer has had two transfer Windows to get the right, the fact he didn’t sort the defence out in jan is criminal.
We will probably scrape a win tonight, but it’s only delaying the inevitable. He won’t see out the season.0 -
Hopefully we some unity on the pitch tonight. Buzzing for this one.2
