I predicted 20th last season (based on zero belief in Maynard) so I dont want to be so far out again, but I fear you might be right - lower end, unless 2 or 3 first teamers can be brought in asap. The squad as it currently stands is well short of promotion challengers
Think we are going to struggle. All we needed was a couple of tweeks. Our best players have gone. In my eyes not been replaced like for like. People say give him 10 games or so before deciding on the Coach. 10 games far too many, that is a quarter of the season gone & from past experience, the way you tend to start the 1st few games tends to say how your season is going to go
All true IP, but with Roos and a couple to come, we shouldn't be struggling near the bottom.
Crazy to consider job security for MP before a competitive ball's been kicked. They/we have to give him time.
I'd guess the threshold for him is just 'in touch with the play-offs/not being in the relegation mix', but the coaches market in October is different to the one in June, maybe still including a certain Mr. Williams, so MP better meet that modest threshold.
No arguments on the cover and numbers, Durham. I'd be amazed if we don't sign a CF or ACM, maybe both, in the next 7 days.
Jatta could be this season's Crowley. But the Club and the Bros are no pushovers, they've shown that they can say no and sell on their terms as with Crowley, or turn away money when the situation calls for it by keeping Ruben and Wootton.
Hopefully even Jatta and his agent can see that his value has dipped since the start of the year but can be restored. The rumoured offers are not the ones that were coming at the start of the year and that will be contract value as well as fee. It's in the interest of both parties to try to boost up the value again. We also need time to settle on the 2 15+ goal contributors you need for a promotion challenge - I don't think the club can gamble on Dennis, Traore or whoever else they can bring in at this late stage.
