Bing Cosby Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Not what do we expect, but what does the Chairman expect? If it was a game of Champ Manager...

Beholder Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Playoffs. Witb this wage budget and the players we have, that should be achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 When he was appointed Chansiri said the aim was promotion as soon as possible. Whether the real ambition was to stay in the championship and help with cost cutting we can’t know. If the real aim was promotion as quickly as possible we don’t seem to be going about it the right way for this season, due to letting go of some good players and not replacing them in the squad. But we shall see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Club will probably think play-off's Realistically the squad we have is lower mid-table much the same as last year. Hopefully we don't weaken it further or league 1 will be calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect an automatic promotion challenge. Maybe if key players stay fit we can challenge for a play off place. But I really hope games to be generally entertaining. Don't do worlds most exciting job so don't want to bored on a Saturday afternoon as well. (Or whenever matches take place these days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the premium prices being charged, I expect a premium product. Premium products are usually top end, so in Wednesday case, challenging for promotion.

I think realistically it wont be Jos's team until the 20/21 season so he's currently working with someone else's players (albeit some very good ones). Its difficult to know if he has ones which fit his system or how many changes he wants to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuttyTeabags Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If we can get the Westwood deal done and use some of proceeds to sort out a pacey RWB and LWB on loan from Prem then we may be in with a shout. This is our area of most weakness and is key in a 3421 as we saw in WC. In semi final Ashley Young was horribly exposed. Reach can cover ground but not best in tackle, right side- maybe Lee or Baker but Palmer I don't think good enough. Fox needs taking out the back... Think DC min expectations will be PO. My fear is he is probably getting bored and it's costing a lot more than he anticipated in terms of £££... Let's see how month one pans out. Fast start is key, never CC forte...

Lincs Owl Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 We finished 13th I think last season. Since then we've lost Rhodes, Hunt, Clare, Loovens, Wallace, Venancio and a few others. Hutchinson Abdi Westwood and Hooper seem to be made of glass. I'm sure the club want him to finish top six. Can't see it happening myself. Its annoying cos we've finally got a chairman with dosh.

Bouncing Owl Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Upper mid table would be good. You can’t expect Jos to get in the playoffs with only bringing in 1 player for £500k and having to release around 8. Every club needs freshening up - it’s the nature of the beast! I think as fans we should all get behind Jos this season even when we are playing poo . He’s been dealt a bad hand and is inheriting an injury hit and unconditioned squad and a Club which is losing £20m a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatahoot Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 First aim is to build a team, on a very tight net budget,, in order to make a decent challenge for a top 6 place, whilst reducing the wage bill and reducing the over bloated squad size. Reducing any risk of FFP negatively effecting the club. Quite a challenge for anyone, but in Jos I place my faith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Top ten should be achievable with this squad & Jos being in charge since January. A full pre season, improved fitness etc. Chuck a bit of luck in & a couple of decent loans & why not hope for top 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
