12 mins in the Spuds match. You knew they’d equalise but not bloody win. Grrrrrr

I think that took the record from us for the latest time of turning a victory into a defeat ( when we were 2-1 up v Spuds & somehow managed to lose 3-2). That is the only bit of good news I can find from their win today.

Member of the lark around club.
Ten Hag has his work cut out.
There has been some horrendous expensive buys and "off field" incidents recently.
Greenwood, Anthony, Sancho, Maguire, Pogba

Yep, loved that one.
I was listening to a bit of commentary of Wolves leading 1-0 and all over Liverpool, couldn’t believe the final score.
Likewise Sheff utd spurs
How long ago did Pogba leave them??

He left over a year ago. He made just 7 appearances last season.

the Newcastle penalty was a gift. VAR official shirked his responsibility as usual.

Of course they are. The best fans in the world deserve this success.

On a slight tangent, if we do go straight back up and do not invest massively then we'll be doing a Luton. Every team that remained in the Premier league have invested more than ever, apart from Wolves, Everton. The gap is now bigger then it ever was between the Prem and the EFL.

Hopefully we'll be promoted to the PL with a squad far better than any other club recently promoted.

By the way that SKY go on about him and the likes of Ronaldo, you would think they only left last week.
Everyone hopes that, yes, but it's a huge ask for enzo's coaching to work the necessary magic on our various £5-8m signings in less than a year.
I know many will disagree, but I feel convinced that many players will get used to playing against div2 quality and get comfortable doing enough to get by – and subconsciously forget about what awaits them if we go up. I hope I'm wrong, but we'll need what Evingtonfox points out, plus a huge amount of luck, plus enzo to prove to be the real deal. We really did lose a lot thanks to TCR.

I think if our currant goal keeper had been here last season, we would not have gone down.

I know that but still think we’ll be in a better position than most, some of the loans we may sign and some of those out of contract may decide to extend.

and if he does turn out to be the real deal he won’t hang around will he. And that is the problem a club of our size will always have - good managers get poached and our best players move on. Any long term planning must be impossible with this constant churn of assets. Which make our recent achievements all the more remarkable!

You would hope that that’s the time the club’s investment in the training facilities finally pay dividends and persuade our new found successful personnel to decide that they are in the right place

I'd reckon other PL clubs attractive to him would want a couple of seasons of evidence before poaching him. I guess we'll get an idea if and when Kompany gets Burnley winning a few games...
