Not that long ago we were behind these in the table

As each point gets added it highlights the turnaround by Vitor

I think they've picked up 3 points since VP took over

1 win 13 losses in their last 14 games I believe.

Yep. Beat Spurs, lost the rest

 

[Kenny]

Our last month under GO, we were a similar disorganised mess. If he had clung on for 1 more game, we would have lost at their place and been 8 points behind them I think

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'm pretty sure Leicester are worse than Southampton, they just totally fluked some points under Mutant Cooper. Horrific team.

I was thinking the same.

Things to note on the past 6 promoted clubs.
Sheff Utd/ vastly under prepared and made zero attempt to survive.
Burnley poor transfer business and stubborn coach
Luton over achieved massively and couldn’t sustain things
Saints vastly under prepared and a stubborn head coach
Leicester lost their manager, dreadful transfers and poor replacements
Ipswich over achieved and probably had to many spaces to fill to be close to be ready.
Still a case of get your business right and you still have a chance.

A common cause of failure for promoted clubs is trying to play in exactly the style that got them promoted without adding much quality. What works against Bristol City and Stoke doesn’t work against the majority of established PL teams, and given the poor efforts of promoted teams that’s now the whole PL apart from the other promoted sides. Southampton and Burnley are particularly guilty of this approach. The other major cause of failure is recruiting with relegation in mind. Buying players that will help you bounce back virtually ensures you’ll be hoping that is the case come the end of the season. Norwich, Ipswich and Luton I’m looking at you.

 

[Jack Regan]

Leicester bringing on a player so young he can't even wear the sponsored version of their shirt.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Oldie but goldie

 

[SSB]

All the commentary team are obsessed with is Leicester scoring a goal.

 

[Lupo]

Not scored a home goal since 8th December and no goal at all since 26th January. Grim as fuck

 

[PuntsWolf]

2 week fine for Valverde for me

 

[PuntsWolf]

That’s a banger

 

[jd1981]

Holy crap

 

[SSB]

Not going to see two finer free kicks than those without Neves being on the pitch.

 

[Langers]

2 ridiculous free kicks.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

That 2nd freekick is an outrageous finish.
