No doubt they’ve over achieved aswell.
Bit unfair comparing CH to a team that have impressively but fairly randomly massively overachieved. How about comparing him to almost every other manager?
I wouldn’t say they’ve over achieved. I personally don’t get that about over achieving, you deserve to finish in the position you find yourself in no matter who you are.
I think you’ll find they’re in the position they are because the manager has got them playing as a team, they’ve given teams an actual fight instead of just lying down and giving up as soon as the referee blows for kick off and actually taken the games to the opposition.
But yeah we have scored three goals against the mighty Millwall, QPR & Wycombe so I should be entirely grateful for that.....What time does the open top bus parade start :D :D :D
Pretty simple logic, they overachieved based on pre-season expectations which would've had them in the bottom 6. They've also overachieved when looking at wages, budgets, transfers, squad size etc. All metrics that generally give you an indication of what the likely league table would look like.
FYI, on similar metrics we underachieved although not as much as some seem to think. Based on above 10th would've been reasonable for us.
