    I think we've been champions of a division 3 times in our entire history. That is not the history of a big club.

    It just shows how rare it is for most clubs to actually win a league, I’d love to see us win one even if just League 2. It would make this hell hole worth while.

    I've never, ever expected us to win a title, because even if you have THAT season, you're just as likely to finish 2nd or 3rd lol

    Luckily for us, we're in the Khazi, so 3rd isn't even a play off lottery ticket, you still go up!

    Even so, how many seasons have we had in L2 in the last 15 years, and we STILL haven't come close - best finish is 7th!!

    in the 125 or so years that competitive football have been played there could only be 500 "champions" so with 92 clubs and another 30 or so that have been in the league at some point, an average of 3 is middling.

    Also factor in that of of all the available championships around 20% have been won by 10% of the clubs.

    So three won is bang average and more than most. Come May 2023 it will be four !!!

    Second best in a league full of clubs from small towns and in one case an actual village.

    Not sure it's much of a claim to fame.

    Leeds Utd have only won 3 league titles in their history, and you cannot deny that they are a big club

    A very simple question. What level have they won them at?
    I'll be honest this big club bollocks grates on me. Success dictates how you are as a club. Nothing else.

    Leeds are evidence that any club has potential, they didn’t win their first trophy until nearly 60 years after ourselves and regularly scratched around division 2. Until Don Revie took over and totally transformed them, up until the 60’s I doubt anyone thought they were a big club. Man City more recently with their new owners have developed into a world powerhouse, it often needs a defining person for a club.

    I like the attitude on the pitch of Young and Hallett as well. They seem to know what it's all about more than their more experienced strike partners.

    Significantly, they spent last season at promotion winning clubs.

    I think these two will turn out to be very good signings

    I like that he plays with some personality. Seems to have a lively attitude on and off the pitch, but guys like that regardless of age or experience will be a boost to the others around them. Think he'll start tomorrow night, probably be a few changes tomorrow night.

    I like Harratt but he's got to reign in that red mist.

    He is just a kid really. A quiet word from MH will probably work.

    It's a fine line with not trying to take away that natural confidence he has. I think he'll be a crowd favourite but you can't do that sat in the stand.

    Absolutely not. Like you say the red mist descended due to provocation. He has to learn to walk away from confrontation like that. My point is he is a young lad and hopefully will learn from very experienced forward MH.

    He wasn't provoked, he caused it himself. If yes gonna get provoked by a keeper giving it the biggun in front of a large Valley Parade crowds he's gonna get carded all week
