    We’re not good enough for the premiership

    After recent performances it is plain to see that we are not good enough to play premiership football.

    We are a good championship team and I applaud what Chris has done for the Blades, but we do not have the necessary players/skills to play premiership football and survive.

    I think we are good enough to finish somewhere between 6th and 12th.

    One day it will happen.

    We need to do the Burnley model,they were not tipped for promotion when they actually went up.

    Wolves and Fulham are not good enough for the prem , it’s how you spend when you go up that matters.

    We can't afford to continue plucking the cream of Leagues 1 and 2 in the next summer transfer window put it that way.

    And, if you don't take the opportunity when it presents itself, you will never go up, you will never progress, you will never benefit from the parachute payments that give you a fighting edge in the Champ.

    Was David ever going to beat Goliath? No, of course not, he should have stayed at home.

    Has a non league club ever heaten a league club?

    We'd never know if they took the stance of the OP.

    I bet Huddersfield fans are hating this season.

    We are not at the moment but its still better than League !
    We know we need a few quality players but the football has been as good as anything for years
    Chris and Alan are still learning in this division
    We are up against foreign coaches who in most cases are tactically better than English trained coaches
    Lets me right Joe Fagan was the last English coach to win anything (in that I mean World or European Cup)
    We (England) has a failed coaching system being taught by failed coaches from a failed coaching book

    Agreed Woody. I was at the Spurs - Juventus game on Wednesday - it was a stunning match to watch - and from where I was up in the gods you could appreciate more how these teams function as a unit - as well as individually. It honestly took my breath away at times.

    Spurs have come a million miles under Pocchetino, and now Wolves and Fulham are also flourishing under foreign coaches. Ok you have to get the right one, but its no coincidence that all the top teams in both divisions are now coached by foreigners.

    It strikes me that CW is a very bright guy, and knows he has a lot to learn if he wants to progress....that's what gives me hope that we will continue to head in the right direction with him.

    Essentially all managers have the same tools, players - but its what they can get out of them that matters.
