Every team has player of varying quality, surely. Didn't they spend a load putting it together in league one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, wouldn't know. Main thing fot us is to just get out of the league though. Let Evatt et al worry about the future. It wouldn't concern me about us being good enough for the championship- we came up from league 2 and have gradually improved, and I see no reason to think we can't do the same.

I'm taking the piss. Think we could upgrade on the LWB position though. To help juggernaut our way to promotion. Hard to see where else can be improved this transfer window.

I think some premier league loans in Jan could be a real welcome if possible to really help with the promotion push. Mendes Gomes and Jones are out on international duty for all of Jan, and any injuries and we could live to regret ahead of the run in. A CB, LWB/RWB and a CM would be good.

Still think we will need upper 90 plus points for promotion though. The other effect of not having 3 teams well clear is that the teams in 4th to 7th will presumably have more points than last season, making it more competitive and bunched up. There will be 6 pointers every week, anyone in top 7 playing each other will be a big game, whereas last year Ipswich/Plymouth v Posh or us wasn't as pivotal, just another game for the leaders. It should make the overall promotion race more exciting with teams potentially swapping positions regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 27, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2023 Still has the potential for two or three to open up a bit of a gap. We have a number of away games against the top teams to come- win or at least avoid defeat in those and we ought to be one of them. Big ask of course.

No idea where he fits in in this formation This year's equivalent of Sadlier or Dapo, arguably. As in, irrespective of performance levels, its hard to see him starting above anyone else as he doesn't have a position that fits the system. FWIW I think he's been a bit disappointing in the brief cameos I've witnessed, but certainly not judging him yet, obviously a decent player but I'd be amazed if he starts any league games this season barring lots of injuries.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted December 27, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted December 27, 2023 I'd see him as able to do what Maghoma does. Had injuries, like Ashworth, and not had much chance yet. Doesn't make them not good enough by any means. Be interesting to see what happens to Morley this window, so who knows what appearances he will make later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolton va va Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 It' s looking like 2 from 4 for the top 2, automatic promotion spots, Us, Pompey, Derby & P/boro, which gives us a 50/50 chance. For the play offs i'd add 2 of Oxford, Stevenage & Barnsley with B/pool as outsiders. I don't see it as a weaker league this season with the top 7 being stronger than last season ( possibly not Barnsley ) but in our favour is having 8 teams competing should mean teams taking points off each other ( it doesn't look like anyone is breaking away ) & that 2 relegated teams have got point deductions.

Yeah, it is a bit random, but this is why: There have been 10 games, but the 2-0 at their place was a friendly. Of the other 9 games, 1 (at home) was in the EFL trophy. That leaves 8 league games. 3 homes and 3 aways count for 6 of them. The reason there are 2 “extra” home games is that (a) one of them is this season’s home game, which will be reciprocated by this week’s away and (b) we played them at home in the COVID season that was scrapped before the end, so never got to play them away (we were due to play them at their place in March 2020).
