FutureOwl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 With the likely addition of the above and shrewd loan moves throughout the season (young, hungry & sharp prem fringe players) is it a genuine possibility that we could make a serious challenge. I would say there is every chance Exciting times either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KivoOwl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 We need a midfielder and striker just to make sure we can adequately battle relegation. As it is we're dead certs to go down. Talk of promotion is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.flem Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Still doesn't make us promotion contenders but should keep us out of the relegation scrap. Billy Sharp & a better quality midfield man would make us outsiders for play offs though IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk of promotion is ridiculous. Dead certs? Think you're the one been ridiculous. The squad we have now is essentially the one that based on the second half of the season would have been comfortably mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I totally agree.If im being picky id sooner have Sharp to Lita and I would say we are serious contenders for a play off spot at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm not convinced Lita is a primary target, and i'd question Olofinjana's ability to recover from games in quick succession avoiding injury. They are the type of players we need, but i'm not so sure it'll be those guys in particular.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 How many times. We are not signing Lita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureOwl Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 The squad we have now is essentially the one that based on the second half of the season would have been comfortably mid table. Plus improvements in all identified weaker areas (assuming another CM & Striker brought in). If we maintained the form post Christmas last year for a full season that would easy put us right up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there is every chance Exciting times either way Think your way too optimistic. We just have to try and improve. IMO mid table wud b a real achievement. You've really got to consider some of the quality a lot of champ teams have in their ranks, we really can't challenge considering the transfer fees n wages they r spending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A Baracus Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 As it is we're dead certs to go down. You attempt to be a knowledgable guy about football then post fûcking crap like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thanks for that insight DJ. Who will we sign then boss ? A player that DJ rates. Not a player that he took on loan and ended up putting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossyOwl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 C'mon lads. Get the rose tints off and really look at our squad. We are okay - not great, not good, we are on a par with teams in the bottom 3rd of the league. Add that to our playing style - unless dramatic changes have taken place over the summer, regardless of who we've signed, we won't be doing anything other than battling relegation!

Talk of promotion is ridiculous. Dont get how you say we are dead certs for relegation when the season hasnt even started. Plus we werent that far from the playoffs last season.

Fair point but could have been horses for courses or ££ terms of loan for starts made etc I think he will be very hard pushed to find a proven 1 in 3 striker at this level who is available and hungry. But then as you say, that is his job, not mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaser Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 He went for Chopra and ended up with Nimninimnimnim, so I still feel like we will sign a "poacher" style centre forward, to compliment what we already have; a large target man, a clever brain and Madine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Dead certs Get a grip bloody drama queen. Have you not seen Yeovils squad and Doncaster won't survive either, they have relegation written all over them. We need a striker and a centre mid admittedly but we have enough to survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 There are always one or two clubs who over-achieves every season. For once I'm hoping we can be one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Oh how soon we change! But I agree a good centre mid and a decent striker (Sharpe would fit the bill) and I think we will do OK this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schapmanowl Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Exactly what I thought lita and oli and we would be at least middle table area defo need a poacher tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
