This is so much like the Summer of 2012.

mercredi 17 août 2016

The Sun is shining,Team GB winning medals galore at the Olympics! Oh,Is there a thread for that!?

My point being,If we go back 4 years our current situation is eerily Similar?

1-A Manager under pressure,following a shocking 2nd half of the previous season.

From beating Birmingham 1-0 (KG) A week before Xmas 2011,Freedman won just 3 of the next 24 league games that season,despite drawing 12 of those! Due to a mixture of Freedmans infuriatingly negative tactics & later on injuries,We also blew our moment V Cardiff in the Semi of the League Cup that season,due to said tactics & Paddy's sending off.

From beating Stoke 1-2 (Lee) away,again a week before Xmas 2015,Pardew wins just 2 of the next 21 League games last season,again,a mixture of Pardews tactics & injuries & As for the F.A. Cup Final we all know how that went wrong after the 78th minute!! :grrr:

2-Fans Favourites being Sold.

During the Summer of 2012 plenty of fans were up in arms at the sale of Ambrose & Scannell & the loss of Anthony Gardner,I won't include Clyne as we all saw that coming,having run his contract down.

This Summer,to date,We've sold Bolasie,Jedinak & Gayle,So,again,same as 2012.

3-Freedman started 2012-13 with 3 straight league defeats,However,Due no doubt in part to the Infamous "Car Park Conversation" Between Freedman & Parish after the 4-1 Hammering at Ashton Gate triggered a flurry of late transfer activity that saw Ramage,Delaney,Gabbidon,Bolasie & Moritz join earlier signings Ward & Wilbraham.

The rest is history,We suddenly clicked into gear,looked a totally different team & despite the Autumn departure of Freedman,made our best start in 37 years!

Holloways Spring meltdown was corrected on the last day,leading to Stunning The Seaweed at the Gaymex!! :lux::lux: Without 31 goal Glenn Murray & Finishing the job at Wembley V Watford! :p

I am as disillusioned as the rest of us at the moment with the way things look,but,as 2012 proved,maybe it's a case of 'Darkness before the Dawn' So I'm gonna put my trust in Steve "Judge me at the end of the window" Parish & The Yanks,after all,the last 6 years under his Stewardship Has not been all bad has it!? ;)

Believe.

& If it all goes to the dogs you can blame me! :hi:
