Holmowl Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Dates back to getting Bannan back, or the Leeds win. Jos has turned us into a promotion-threatening squad. And 29 goals in 15 games is amazing. Successful and entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 So we'll be battling for promotion with Blackburn and Wigan then? Taking "current form" back into last season has it's flaws... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Distorted by all the transfers etc, but having said that its encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 We beat Stoke on Saturday and we could well be in the top 6 I will take that. Where we are when we get to the next international break in 4 weeks will show where we could end up this season. The positives for me are the two kids Thorniley and Penney they look the real deal and with the right experience around them could well develop in to great players for us over the next 18 months. Not to mention they could save us a few quid on players. Add to that the development of Dawson things are looking better at the back, if we could just find a few decent midfielders from the under 23's who could add us a goal threat we could have the makings of a good young squad. Add to this offloading a few of the older ones in January or releasing them in the summer and we could have 4 or 5 players different to the first 11 that played under Carlos. I think Winnall is going to be key to the FFP - Get him fit and scoring and he could be sold in January for a decent profit or the Rhodes deal made permanent at Norwich. One think the club need to seriously think about now though is our most sale-able assets - Reach, Fessi and Bannan the first two have 18 months of their deals left. For me I would sign them both up to longer deals ala Bannan and Joao because if we need to sell next summer they should fetch £10M+ but with 1 year left on their contract this figure will be half that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a little counterproductive especially if we are around the play off places. Edited September 13, 2018 by Watson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitcat Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Pinch of salt. Could look drastically different over say 10, 7, 5 games.. Blah blah blah blah.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamAP22D Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'm just gonna wait until after these 4 games before judging it this year. then it's 10 games played with a decent mixture of teams from up and down the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
