Fabian Hurzeler is the only manager in #bhafc history to get consecutive top half top flight finishes.
Haters need to wash their mouths out and show some respect
A scoreline that flattered City, but deserved winners nonetheless.
A great cup run regardless and a season of progress in many areas. Push on and see what next season brings. #bhafc
@ryanadsett With the greatest respect, that’s a loser’s mentality in my opinion.
We have to focus on ourself. The minute we start caring more about our rivals and what they have to say to/about us is the minute we become Spurs.
@BlindedMysto@SmudgerCPFC Disagree - We’ve loaned a lot of players out, some of which will probably stay next season - e.g Ferguson, Gruda, Buonanotte, Rushworth, etc.
8 points over a season is a decent amount too. That quite a consistent gap.
Congratulations to Crystal Palace on winning the Conference League.
I now look forward to them keeping up their record as the worst cup holders in the history of world football by exiting Europe next season after a 3-0 defeat to Total Network Solutions. #cpfc#bhafc
@MikeKing14_@ryanadsett In theory, but not always that simple. Palace & Forest went deep in Europe & weren’t far above the drop.
League has to be priority. Palace’s season dropped off a cliff domestically when the started to focus on Europe after a bad start: out of both cups & 19 points from 23 in PL.
@HurzelersHat@Waxlyricist Forest have a big squad, with a far bigger wage budget than ours. Admittedly they’ve made some bad decisions sacking managers. But nonetheless, not always that simple.
@MikeKing14_@ryanadsett In the longer term, our premier league status and the overall continued progression are both far more important than winning a next season cup.
If process is maintained, that will eventually come. Sanity over vanity. Patience is a virtue. Etc,
@SmudgerCPFC Continuing to maintain ourselves as a top half team. We’ve had 4 top half finishes in the past 5 years. 11th the other.
Brighton finished 7 places and 8 points ahead of palace this season. 4 places and 8 points the season before. We can’t afford that kind of drop off:
@SmudgerCPFC Will say though, as I’ve said before, conference league is great if you’re in it. Otherwise largely irrelevant.
Maintaining our top half league performance and domestic cup success is of greatest importance.
@SmudgerCPFC I agree yours and West Ham success does a bit of pressure on, welcome that as I think the teams needs it to push on.
That said, go back a few years and Spurs and Villa both failed to win it, depends on opposition and circumstances. Chelsea in particular had it very easy.
