Promotion This Season ?

[ThurrockJack]

I would be happy with a top 8 finish. Any talk of promotion ignores how strong the likes of Ipswich, Soton, Leicester, Birmingham etc are, as well as clubs that were in a similar position to us that have also massively strengthened, such as QPR.

As much as I like to be positive, promotion talk after two games is crazy

Negative overreactions to losing a game are par for the course on here, nobody bats an eyelid. But as soon as you wanna talk positive out come the health and safety advisors with their clipboard and pens ready to piss on any enthusiasm and hope

What a miserable bunch. I believe we were 7 points off the playoffs last year after a fairly shitty season. We absolutely 100% are one of the teams battling for the top 6, and if Sheehan didn't believe that I'd lose total faith in him

This is football. Being hypocritical and one eyed should be a given. Having blind faith in your team and your players is more fun than maintaining your image on an internet messageboard. Try it!

Top 2.

Promotion talk should be reserved until around Xmas period. That's not negative. Just reality. Live in hope - yes always. But let the football do the talking.

We've got 3 points and 2 games under our belts, a bit too soon to be discussing this. Even if tomorrow we magically sorted out our lack of firepower up front, I'd still want to wait a few weeks before mentioning the P word.

No that's not negative I agree, but starting a thread immediately after the first game of the season telling us to "get real" and proclaiming that our new signings lack any real quality probably could've been reserved a little longer too, don't you think?

I guess I just don't understand why being knee jerk negative is acceptable - Monmouth has perfected the art in fairness to him - but being knee jerk positive is met with scowls and condescension

Just my 2p

Early days but I really feel we are building something at the club.
Not worried about early performances myself
I think once we bring in the four players mentioned by Sheeran and they gel, think we will have a superb team that will be both entertaining and successful
Patience is called for though.
I get the impression the owners are serious about being successful as is shown by the backing they are giving Sheehan

When we were being gas lit about the vision off the field and the quality in the boardroom...most Swans fans were savvy enough to smell the bullshit and see that the club was rotting from its head.
Fast forward the blink of an eye, open a window and the breeze has totally transformed our club.
All I see now is vision, commitment, action (not words) and the great smell of competence.
Great time to be a Jack - and thank you from the bottom of my heart to the current leadership group!!

Not by me. I used a ROFL emoji because its fking hilarious.

What is interesting as well is that the 3 teams with parachute payments and the big spenders from below all look a little flakey and flawed to me.
There are always surprises - but this division looks very competitive top to bottom - why not us?

if we had a Scott Sinclair (in his prime) type of player, and Brendan at the helm then promotion talk would be understandable.
