Yes but there is a reason we aren't

 

[Hartley Hare]

I can't help thinking in time we will end up above that lot.

How could we possibly hope to match the budget of and finish above the likes of Burton Albion?

Be realistic.

 

[Esablade]

It'll all work out in the end..mark my words..

 

[judge]

Yes but there is a reason we aren't

Im all ears

 

[blade67]

league top scorers and we have a striker who is top of the scoring charts - not been like this since the heady days of Brian Deane and Tony Agana, unless you count Ched

 

[sitwell]

Ive just checked and its still September ,none of those five will be above us at the end of the season.

Its all about the right recruitment whether you are Chelsea , Burton or SUFC . Money helps , but is not be all and end all . You have to recruit , purchase wisely , which Adkins is / will be doing .

As you say , who is top now , is a false dawn .

Its my honest reaction when i look at the league table and see the absolute shit above us in our league
A league we have struggled to get out of for 5 years
Wish i was as happy about it as you are

what absolute shit
how can it be absolute shit if its at the top
Coventry spent 30 more years in the top flight where we have been in only 5 the last 40 years they also won an fa cup
we are miniscule compared to them

Before we signed Sharp ,Done, Adams , Brayford and Harris would probably be the first names on the team sheet.

My missus sent me to Coventry years ago.

'Miniscule compared to Coventry?'

Fuck me.

 

[blade too long]

6th same points as 5th and 4th only 1 win behind an auto,atic spot

dont think theres need to panic

 

[metalblade]

FFS Burton top of the league ........................ the only surprise is some Clough apologist has not yet posted on here that it is all down to negative Nigel's previous work with Burton.

well if calls them utter shit and theyve had 6 times the seasons in the top than we have had in the last 40 years what does that make us
people have to grasp reality
weve had 5 seasons in the top flight in the last 40 years
2 were relegation seasons
2 we just avoided relegation
1 season we finished mid table , and that after being bottom till xmas
and judge say we are bigger than most clubs, on what basis
we arent ought special or huge are we

we were big in 60s and 1890 s
but bury were big then too

No need to invent a 'panic' that doesn't exist either.

Oxford won the league cup a couple of years before the pigs are we minuscule compared to them too?

Think Orient and Tranmere . If i was a Burton fan , i would be worried .

How the mighty fall.

Ignore the current table.

During a short number of games luck can play a big part.

Teams with more money tend to have bigger squads with more quality.
So it's much easier for those teams to rise to the top as EVERY team has injuries and loss of form at some point.

The season in league 1 is running a 10,000 metres around the track.
When Mo Farah sits in 5th place after 5 laps you don't start screaming at him to hit the front.
Some players have higher reserves of stamina so show their class towards the end.
This season Sheff Utd and Wigan have the strongest squads and have a much better chance of rising up than any other team. Stay calm it's just a matter of time.

as I say to owls who cares about the league cup
FA cup yes , worldsgreatest cup league cup nuisance no one cares about
what matters is league status , cant argue coventry had a long unbroken run in the top league

I get confused why people seem to think we're a big club. We've won fuck all since the war. Sheffield is a big city. So what? Number of cold bums on seats does not equal football pedigree.

Apparently the more human beings who support your club the bigger you are.

But that's only if you win f all else.

Like Pigs, Newcastle and the like.

Take Wigan out of the post , and that could have be written , in September 14.

Saying that , lets hope its applicable to Setember 15.
