Domestic English Cups 2023-2024

MistaT Truthfully, I found the season less enjoyable than the prior season despite us being closer to a title.

The last few weeks when the title race was still on were absolutely enthralling for me, and left me with a good feeling about how closely we ran it. I dunno about you, but for me last season was deeply disappointing after April and it ended with a lot of dark questions and dissatisfaction.

Really, i cannot look past 16-1-1 in our last 18 matches. To me, that is the definition of NOT bottlers. Almost no team wins every single game. We just happened to run into one of the only teams that could, and they went 17-1-0. One stumble from them in the last 18(!) games and we would have lifted the trophy. It was the front half of the season that really did us in. I don't think we will make that mistake again. We were trying to find the right team before Christmas, and something finally clicked and it showed in our record after that. Now that we have a good idea of what players fit where, i think we come out of the blocks flying next season. (leaving aside the possibility of injuries from the Euros/training/etc)

flobaba Same. After Villa I didn't really hope any hopes. I just watched and there were more of hopes of a miracle than any expectations. Wasn't sad when we finished 2nd because I expected that.

I was upset last year when we exploded dramatically. Almost every stat last year pointed us to winning the title, but that last few matches really was unexpected. I could understand people saying we bottled it last year, this year we definitely didn't bottle anything.
