From Despair To Where? I'm more confident that we can float around lower mid table and not be too seriously involved in the relegation fight. There may be a few more Rotherham type performances but last night was our best overall performance in years and gives me confidence that when we get it right we are a match for anyone in this league.

Mr Optimist Interesting comments from the Bristol City forum, do they not consider that they are potential relegation candidates alongside us? For me they are, they are bang average.

Ascotexgunner Thought I'd throw in a couple of WBA quotes from their forum
"Swift has been shite last 2 games. Obvious substitution last night ... really poor."
”Reading fans warned that Swift will go missing some games…….when he is good, he is very good, but…."
Must be due an injury about now as well.
Ron's magic slowly unravelling there. No promotion and massive wage bills and long term contracts.....sounds familiar.

If they don’t go up they could be in serious problem in regard to FFP.

Hound Yep spotted he was injured.
Not really missing swift tbh. Like the guy a lot but Ince has filled the gap and has more energy and defensive work - obvs a slight gap in some creativity
Still for the life of me can’t work out why Ince flopped at Stoke. He just looks a v good player to me

windermereROYAL Well I would think he needs to be on top of his game here with his old man in charge.

It’s particularly strange because Stoke fans often criticised his work rate which has been second to none from the outset here
Lot of pressure on him at Stoke, £10 million move, high expectations for Stoke to go up, and I get the impression he’s a bit of a confidence player, all worked against him at Stoke
I think it’s true that almost any player can flourish in the right environment

So they’ll be firmly mid table?

Ignoring the pedantry, they will be lower mid table and with a couple of key players injured or sold they will definitely be more worried about the bottom of the table than the top six.

Oh I agree mate.
But don’t ignore the pedantry. I’m a pedantic ****. Embrace it.
