Then what are the realistic aims for the season ?
I can’t imagine desperately trying to keep them all only for a mid table finish
Is it all or nothing for a promotion push ?
I feel like we need a better CB if we're going to push. If Panzo plays 30+ games consistently, and Rose improves, maybe we'll have enough but it's not a coincidence we leaked too many goals last season with a Big Three featuring zero defenders.
About right IMO. We need to stabilise and look to continue improving the squad. There’s a lot of contracts up next season which creates a huge challenge as players will want better contracts and others will leave and replacements need to be found.I think mid-table would still be about right for us even with the same “big three” as last season.
Still don’t think we have the strength in depth to sustain a play-off spot right to the end. Throw in a few injuries, which is inevitable over a season and we suddenly look very light.
I wonder if we would be better off (over the season) selling one of the big three and bringing in 2/3 extra bodies. We looked dead on our feet in some games last season.
30 goals 30 goals Matty GoddenI'd be tempted to use Godden as a super sub who comes on at the 60 min mark most games. Would help reduce demand on his legs but mean he should have a decent chunk of time to exploit the spaces left from the battering Vik has given the oppo back line all game.
Was going to say exactly the same!I still think we need to add someone who can score goals consistently, game after game last season how many times were we on top but never took our chances, inevitably conceding with opposition teams having their first chance of the game, now maybe thats the quality of our defence or lack of tracking in midfield but goals cost us games so for me a quality addition in defence and also a quality midfielder who can score but I don't think Waghorn or Walker are going to fire us to the prem
I dont even think that the sky blues tinted specs lie for once when saying Hamer and Sheaf are the best Midfield partnership in the divisionI think we can get top 6 if we can avoid major injuries. We weren’t far off last year, performances were there.
If O’Hare and Gyokeres improve again, we’ll be right up there. Not to mention Sheaf and Hamer best cm pairing in the division!
Sky Blues tinted specs
I know a lot has been said about the goals conceded, but I'm at the other end of the pitch, if we could convert even 50% of the chances we spurned we will hammer a number of teams this year. Top 8 for me, with a sneaky peak over the wall at top 6

If it was that easy finding a goalscorer like that every team would have one.I still think we need to add someone who can score goals consistently, game after game last season how many times were we on top but never took our chances, inevitably conceding with opposition teams having their first chance of the game, now maybe thats the quality of our defence or lack of tracking in midfield but goals cost us games so for me a quality addition in defence and also a quality midfielder who can score but I don't think Waghorn or Walker are going to fire us to the prem
