No, especially once Keogh et al head out the door.

Hit and miss. Probably relegated if we sell a couple of players.
People need to calm down though! We will sign players just not for a week or so.

We may have players that are capable or better than average at this level, but the size of our squad will be our downfall.
We will sign players at some point, I've no doubt about that. Waggots role would be obsolete if we weren't planning on at least a few signings.

i know there is a lot of talk on squad sizes.... but the majority of teams in L1 do not have big squads. The money just isn't there for most.
Swindon are going for it as L2 champs with the wind in their sails and promotion winning money so are the attractive bet.
We will survive. Get some experience in and we can make a fight for the play offs.

How many goals realistically does that team have in it ?
Wycombe went down scoring 65 league goals last year
I think we are in for a shock, big strong teams in this league... As for we are better than teams on paper!!!!!! paper means fook all when you are running out of shit changing rooms on a cold night in Brentford while they are right up for it and the young lads are moaning,,, its not like the rioch.......

Murphy
Clarke (1) , Wood (4) , Cameron (1), Hussey (1)
baker (6), degan (3), Thomas (2), Bell (5)
Mcdonald (15), Mcsheff (10)
Thats me being generous, and that comes to 47 goals....
Just need another 18 to match relegated Wycombe last season !

Correct !!
We will struggle away due to being too lighweight, and will struggle at home due to it being a "big tie" for most away teams

I know a walsall supporter that tells me that we need strength in our team at this level. Wood will be injured half the season, Macpake will be sold or injured if he stays and Keogh will probably be sold as well. No height or strength in midfield. No height or strength in attack. I really hope we do well but if we don't bring in at least 2 midfielders and two attackers we will towards the bottom of league 1

Wycome also conceded 88 goals, the highest in the division.
Bournmouth finished 11th with 48 goals and Tranmere 12th with 49

I ca't see AT playing sheff as a striker, so if he goes with the diamond it will probably be sheff in the hole and baker in the slightly deeper right centre mid role. If he plays here he won't get into double figures.

If we go an entire season long term injury free. So in a word no

yes of course,current squad keeps us up, people are over reacting in that sense
but staying up isnt good enough,how far down must we go till we challenge at the top?!!!!

hussey
keogh
cameron
cranie
clarke
christie
mcpake

baker
bell
thomas
brigirimama
deegan
mcsheffrey

macdonald
O'Donovan
Jeffers
18 man squad right now,if we dont lose any then bang bang bang isnt actually needed imo, just 1-2 midfielders,1 striker and 1 LB cover(altho clarke can shift there)
however the chances of keeping them are slim so in reality we need 3-5 signings ideally
still current squad stays up easy imo maybe even challenge
the core is there SISU,just strengthen it and you have got a promotion chasing team for once!

Murphy = Not bad at this level.
Clarke = Defensively he is rubbish.
Wood = Good but injury prone
Cameron = could have a decent season
Hussey = average at best
Baker = do i really need to say anything here?
Degan = average
Bell = Cack
Cody = If he can stay fit shoul dhave a decent season
McSheff = lost his pace but may do a job in this division.
Where is the backup? We know Cody is injury prone, as is Wood and Cameron. We have zero striking options off the bench except RoD who can't score for sh*t, and Shaun Jeffers who let's face it is not exactly going to set the world alight.
Our "best" starting 11 is average at best, however it is our paper thin squad that will be our downfall, as it always is. Until we get investment, or The Hoff pulls his finger out we had all better get used to life as L1 strugglers.
Happy days

I'd suggest you all read through the club's accounts. The club itself was in debt by £55 million in June 2011, and its holding company made a loss of £9 million. The accounts also read that 'the potential to reach the League One playoffs cannot be discounted', which suggests very grim prospects indeed.
