Potentially our greatest season?

[Tommy2holes]

IF we managed to win the JPT at wembley and get to play chelski at home coupled with promotion , would that constitute our best ever season?


Its like a bizzare treble of promotion jpt and big cup draw and they dont come bigger than the european champions.

Obviously the flip side is we lost to orient and fall just short of wembley to a rival , we get beat by brentford and miss out on chelsea and fall short of promotion AGAIN.

Either way this season is shaping up into a very eventful one.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Yes it could well be. It'd be our first ever 'double' of sorts. Who would've thought that in August/September?

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Unless we win the FA cup then we can't top winning League 1 this season I'd say, but we can have another fantastic season and prepare to win League 1 again next year

Let's not get too carried away just yet.....one step at a time!!!

 

[Lester Bangs]

I really hope this is.

I have a terrible feeling that we have overstretched ourselves and the distractions of both cup runs will come back to haunt us.

Lets hope I am very, very wrong.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Far too soon to call.

 

[Uncle Leo]

they dont come bigger than the european champions.

They certainly do. Remember, Frank Bruno was World Heavyweight Champion once.

It's a bit hard not to though!!

I've got a feeling the next two are very big in seeing how the rest of our season pans out. If we win both, we could be 3rd in the league and have a massive FA Cup tie. Although, if we lose both, we could even drop to 10th and again have a dream cup tie snatched away from us.

Hard not to get carried away, but it shows how quickly things can change. Before the Burton game, we were talking about potentially being a couple of points behind Gillingham, but now (about 2 weeks later), we are 11 points behind them.

Can't say it is not exciting though!!

How could it top the season when Tes Bramble went in goal?

 

[dannypav]

Beating Brentford and getting to play Chelsea would be great in many ways ( kudos , financial etc ) , but no real shame if we lost the replay ( away to a strong League 1 side ).
But not beating Orient and missing out on Wembley......................now that would hurt like mad

 

[superblue24]

Well, we need to focus on the league as a priority. I expect the financial benefits of winning promotion both short and long term would outweigh JPT success and a home tie against Chelski. Not to mention the "step up" in the caliber of player we might be able to attract assuming the work at FF is also under way....

Despite our cup exploits, you can't deny that our league form is beginning to slide and we need to address that immediately. If we lose to Borient and crash out of the JPT and then the dust settles after losing to Chelski (or even Brentford which is a fair possibility at worst), we could open our eyes and realize that we're in no better shape than any of the last few seasons.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Still too many 'ifs'. There's a long way to go, let's not get carried away.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Didn't we say this last season when we were top of the table, had a trip to Liverpool on the cards and were in the late stages of the JPT with a Wembley appearance beckoning?

 

[BrettieAngell]

League One Title, best season ever. Pretty hard to beat that even if we did the promotion/JPT double IMO.

 

[MrB]

We could get to Wembley 3 times in a season, that would be cool :smile:

 

[BrettieAngell]

That would definitely be our best season ever, and a bloody expensive one aswell!!

 

[Mick]

We could get to Wembley 3 times in a season, that would be cool :smile:

Only 3 ? You think we'll lose in the semis then ?

 

[MrB]

Ah yes, I forgot about the devalued Wembley semis. Maybe we will lose to someone nondescript like Wigan after beating Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City in the preceding rounds.

 

[superblue24]

I don't wish to see Man Utd in a competitive fixture again in my lifetime.....Our record against them is something I would never want to risk!
