I see nothing wrong with saying we should aim for promotion.
In reality though it will be very difficult. But I think the general apathy at the moment is doing the players we do have a disservice.
i cant see the sarcasm int hat, seems he genuinly thinks we did well at home alst year
also its unfair to say look where would finish with 10pts extra, admin killed the season and there was nothing else left to play for
but isnt astute the same guy who said jennings is like gerrard? not sure i can agree with you on your analysis of squad.
exactly
me saying we should aim for promotion is based on us adding 3-4 good signigns to what we have,then i think we have a chance
if i had to predict id go with mid table but relegation is a no no in my book unless we sell off the squad which i dont see happening.
agree with your last sentence 100%
<br />It could be August before we get the chance to start making signings. By that point a good number of targets capable of improving the squad will have gone and our budget will be pitiful. More to the point we will have lost a pre-season which means any signings will have to bed in as the season progresses.<br />
<br />
You also have to wonder who on Earth would want to join a club with such overwhelming off field issues when better offers will be on the table. If the groundshare proceeds the club is sealing a humiliating relegation.
i smell a wager coming on!imp:
we will not get relegated unless something drastic happens like a firesale or further deductions
IF
this post was about our lineup at the moment, i say this linup plus academy kids wont be relegated,but everyone who says we will go down only wants to talka bout IFs and Maybes

Tbf, you were also talking about IFs, IF we sign 7-8 good (not mediocre) players
when have i said we need to buy 7-8 players???????????
you outright liar...thats poor stu
i said our current team plus academy kids will avoid relegation
all your predictions are based on worst case scenarios,all i ever said was that we have 7-8 good players to start and with our youngsters or new signigns we could still aim to do well,certainly not relegation. if you disagree thats fine but dont do it on what ifs.
but if you truly dont think admin effectively killed the season there's not much point carrying on this convo mate.
What predictions have I made?
I have predicted we will play at the Ricoh next season. Is that the worse case scenario? That is the only prediction I have made
The rest are not what if's but something that any logical thinking fan wouldn't bet against. I have not said anywhere I think we will get relegated. But if things don't change quickly we could be in trouble. If we sign just 3 players we will be in a bit of trouble when the injuries start.
You say our season ended on a poor finish when we went into admin. I say our season finished when Clarke got injured. If we don't sign another decent striker it will happen again if he gets injured at any time of the season.

Straight comment now. It looks like we have lost experienced players. They will be replaced by kids without experience. We don't know where we will be playing our home games yet. If away from Cov how many will we take with us on a raining Tues evening? It will be like playing away all season. How many fans will go to these 'home games'? We are in an embargo. We don't know how long for. Will all of our targets already have signed for another club by the time we can sign anyone? Will we sign who we need when embargo is lifted? We won't be paying transfer fees so who is available for free? Will Elvis be any good as a manager in England? Will he be any good as a manager anywhere?
ifs,maybes and will we's galore
all i ever responded was to the OP post about our current lineup. if you agree we wont get relegated with current team then we are agreeing.
I say we shouldn't get relegated. But with such a small squad of experienced players and a manager that hasn't had a good time at our club so far don't fill me with confidence.
Nobody can say we won't get relegated. If Clarke don't get sold and stays injury free all season then we could do well.
yeh so all things as they are CURRENTLY points no relegation, thats all i am saying!
you need to drop the weird pressley hate btw, its silly when hes only been in charge for like 6 games and most them whilst we have been in admin as you said without top striker.

We've still got some very good players for this level, but depth is the worry. Christie, Adams, Clarke, Murphy, Baker and Fleck are all top half, if not top 6, players in my opinion.
