He's assuming 0 points from the next 3 games - which is odd given we've only lost 2 of the last 12 or whatever it was

Snowflake Royal So, even though pretty much the entire content of the Pauno Out thread is people saying that's a ludicrous idea. It's still a thread with that title at the top of the board with a lot of pages.
So to counter that, I thought I'd start a rival, to celebrate Pauno's success and look forward to seeing him learn and improve over the next year.
I was exceptionally disappointed and angry with the decision to fire Bowen on the eve of the season, and I haven't changed my mind on that. But that has nothing to do with Paunovic.
I was very sceptical about his appointment. No experience in English football, mixed results in the MLS. But he's proved those doubts wrong and fair play to him.
He's stamped a style and identity on the side. He has continued the tradition of embracing the Academy. He got us off to a terrific start and dealt with a lot of injury issues. He's had little control of transfers or ability to bring in players.
His finest achievement has to have been getting Aluko to look like a footballer after 3 years and 4 managers all rightly abandoning him as shit.
He's got us competing at the right end of the championship. And whilst results have drifted into disappointment, we've very rarely been blown away. It's been fine margins.
15th to (probably) 7th in his first season in the world's most competitive division is an achievement worth celebrating.
Thank you and look forward to another top half season next year.

Do you really need a second thread on the same subject of people telling you you're talking bollocks?

TiagoIlori I’d honestly be indifferent if he went. He’s not done badly considering- lack of squad depth, virtually no signings, the fatal error of not being able to bring anyone in during January. However, he needs to stop rushing players back from injury (although he seems to be showing signs of learning his lesson with how he’s managed Swift lately), his subs on quite a few occasions were best late or utterly baffling and he really needs a plan B. One could argue it’s his first season, but for that to be a legitimate reason he should be showing signs of adapting- I’d argue performances have only regressed over time.
I hope Dai will scrutinise him over the summer, discuss what went wrong with everyone individually. If next season he hasn’t shown signs of progression then it’s sensible to discuss his future. The season is not a failure, but it’s almost inexcusable how badly we’ve collapsed in spite of Barnsley and Bournemouth stepping up.

Brogue not sure im buying this small squad stuff, how do we compare in squad size to the rest of the champ? when I created the poll for player of the season 20 players had played over 10 games for us this season. not including southwood odin tetek. these are genuine first team players not youngsters.

We have only used 25 players this season, which is the lowest of any team in the league. Which would point to a pretty small squad size and also may point to one of the reasons why we've run out of steam at the end of the season.
EDIT - apparently this also includes Tetek, Watson, Azeez and Onen, none of whom have started a game, and Araruna who played twice this season. With the number of injuries we've had, we've been rolling with a squad of ~16 for most of the season.
So yeah, small squad for sure.

and missing arguably our best player in Swift for most of it. We've not lost a game when he has played have we?
