Isn't that just showing ambition though?

Something we've often asked our club/manager to do.
For me he's trying to get the fans onside as he knows that's what we want to see here.
I would be surprised though if he didn't consider the play-offs as an aim for next season.
What does challenging mean though? For me its in and around, and being still in the hunt by the final 1/2 games. Doesn't mean actually making it...

        haha, didn't see it, and laughed when I saw him score (NCFC) - pants, Mar 10, 10:50:27
        
        First goal in 29 games would suggest he is usually shite (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 10:53:31
        
        Probably, he has 2 goals in 29 games after all (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 10, 10:53:29
        
        The thing is Odejayi looked REALLY good (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:59:30
        
        he just seemed to bottle the opportinity to shoot. (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 10, 11:02:24
        
        I thought that assessment by the pundits was a tad harsh (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 11:04:25
        
        That's his game in a nutshell (NCFC) - pants, Mar 10, 11:04:09
        
        haha, im a big fan of Carvalho, but always happen to see it go wrong for Terry (NCFC) - pants, Mar 10, 10:56:50
        
        was brilliant on Saturday night that's for sure (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 10, 10:49:06
      - What happens though if Roeder has the same start as Grant did (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 10, 10:45:27
        
        900 minutes without a goal 6 points clear of safety etc etc etc (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 10, 11:06:15
        
        If he does, and everyone wades in again alienating everything (NCFC) - pants, Mar 10, 10:49:20
        
        and look where that has got them? Relegated IMHO (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 11:06:30
        
        Shearer got Robson out, whinging internally about being dropped (NCFC) - pants, Mar 10, 11:17:42
        
        The other daft thing about Robson, is he always started badly (NCFC) - pants, Mar 10, 11:20:23
        
        Yep! No doubt calling for a Crook & Bowen dream team (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:50:31
        
        or Iwan and Huckerby (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Mar 10, 10:51:02
        
        Indeed! Huckerby as Player-Manager (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:53:27
        
        Let's just hope that doesn't happen (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:48:10
        
        I've never actually seen that happen (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 10:52:54
    - what do you mean by competitive? (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 09:56:08
      - Problem with that argument is that Roeder has piled the pressure on himself (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 10, 10:02:49
        
        Isn't that just showing ambition though? (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 10:12:30
        
        agreed - but I'm not sure how people will behave if we aren't top 6 (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 10, 10:19:53
        
        no neither am I, could be a long one. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 10:20:40
      - for me, competitive means contending for a play off place. no more. (n/m) (NCFC) - shoddy, Mar 10, 09:58:35
        
        I'd agree with that, i think that's reasonable for next season. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 10:00:52
        
        But we have absolutely no idea whether it's realistic (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 10:07:56
        
        THat's a very good point (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 10:14:35
        
        thing is when he picked a sttled side and formation (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 10, 10:22:41
        
        If anyone believes Glenn Roeder is not in credit with us and the club... (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:31:14
        
        if I'm miserable (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 10:42:07
        
        I think what you've said is about right (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:45:24
        
        yup, but they won't will they? (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 11:04:05
        
        Let's just hope that doesn't happen (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:46:55
        
        Jury verdict on his time this season is a success (barring recent wobbles) (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 10:51:35
        
        So a complete contradiction of your previous statement, then (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:57:25
        
        I was talking about next season (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 11:06:23
        
        If you'll allow me to wade through the jizz to respond (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 11:12:52
        
        *Glenn* (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 11:15:04

        It was clearly about next season. (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 11:23:17
        
        It would be "cum" wouldn't it? (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Mar 10, 11:34:37
        
        Is that supposed to be some kind of threat? (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 11:29:51

        Fair enough (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 11:57:02

        haha where's them WOTB rules again... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 10, 12:16:50
        
        I actually thought it was worthy of a little more respect than that (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 12:19:13
        
        For what it's worth, me too (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 12:22:57
        
        We should know eh? (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 12:19:06
        
        mine was around 5 years ago and you slated me for it... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Mar 10, 12:30:44
        
        Indeed (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 12:32:59
        
        Obviously it won't take effect until (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 10, 12:21:04
        
        Just what I was thinking! (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 10, 12:17:55
        
        Roeder's performance as manager so far can only be described as a massive success (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 10, 11:01:26
        
        clear and acurate summary, wouldn't disagree at all. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 11:03:26
        
        Sorry, wrong place (n/m) (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:47:56
        
        doesnt wash with me, he had a successful formula (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 10, 10:39:28
        
        not worried about him trying Velasco. (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 10:43:03
        
        no nor me, it didn't help our cause on the day that he had a mare (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 10, 10:45:00
        
        agreed, good to see him have the bottle to change it (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 11:02:29
        
        Which is another positive for me... (n/m) (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:47:31
        
        Indeed, Its strange why he started it (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 10:30:20
        
        Indeed he is not above criticism (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 10, 10:32:49
        
        People are going to pick, that's football (NCFC) - megson, Mar 10, 10:39:56
