We are one of the biggest supported teams in league one so surely expecting a bit more than just survival isn't too much to ask.
The aim of the football club should be commensurate with their current position.
At the start of the season we had just been promoted, we didn't have any knowledge of the quality of the league, other than the cup matches played last season, and the manager openly talked about his aim as being survival in the division.
At the moment we are in the relegation zone, even though it is early days, and it shows how poorly we have reacted to promotion to a higher league. Confidence is slowly evaporating, and our aim must be to avoid relegation at all costs.
If/when we get out of the relegation places our aim must be to remain out of the relation places.
If we find ourselves climbing the table, so our aim will be to improve our position accordingly.
But to seriously aim for the play-offs when we are next to bottom in the league shows such an arrogant disregard of all things football, that one might even think that the portrayer knew nothing about the game at all, that he was flippant with his remarks and that he was on a wind up of infinite proportions.
We didn't have any knowledge of the league? We went up 1 league and you make it sound like we been parachuted into La Liga. You have a negative boring attitude which is partly why as a club we are serial underachievers. The opening poster was talking about his pre-season hopes you fool.

The managers aim of survival gave us a hint of what the management thought of our chances in this division, but I was talking more about the players view of the league, especially those that had never played in the division before!
You have made your point - twice if not three times.

A big ask expecting a young lad like Fletcher to play on his own up front. I do wonder about DA sometimes.
I do hate it when the opposition mark, tackle and compete against our young lads as if they are all grown blokes playing competitive professional football.
Why can't they leave Fletcher alone, stand off him a bit and let him express himself?
