Losing those 2 out of it to injury is massive Are you sure about that?? We’ve conceded for the majority of the season and iorfa was poor for quite a few games before he got injured.

Earlsfieldowl Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Probably - there will be so many teams getting points deductions, so by default alone we’ll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lythamowl Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Firstly it would be a bloody great miracle if we did go up and no we don’t have a wax cat’s chance in hell of staying up with this squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This exact squad would probably stay up this season in the Championship, next year who knows all a year older legs start to go etc. If we go up and Luongo stays, and the loans are suitably replaced then yes we stand a good chance and all depends on how many teams get points deductions next season quite a few must be close to FFP penalties, Middlesbrough, Stoke and Forest fir example.

lanzaroteowl Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Yes. We shouldn't have been relegated with the squad we had last year. This squad is better. If DC can spend money, FFP permitting then I can't see us having problems staying up. If he finds money under the mattress then like everyone we have a shot at the big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Rotherham and Barnsley bounced back straight away twice in Rotherham’s case, three times consecutively if they achieve it this season. This League can be MADE a slog to get out of. Just excuses all the time Aye fair point it’s hardly confirmation bias though is it? Some teams do well some teams don’t, but that’s just ‘football’ in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A back 3 with Paterson/Brennan or Johnson/Palmer doesn’t compare to Iorfa and Hutchinson though does it. And that’s not a reflection on those players because they’ve done a decent job either out of position or as a youngster. How many times have we had Hutch Dunkley and Iorfa at the back? Let alone with Luongo back in front of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone with Luongo back in front of it i agree 100% that it doesn’t compare and credit to the make shift defence we have still managed to pick up points…however my point is hutch, dunkley and iorfa have played in the same team at the start of the season in various combinations and still conceded goals. We have averaged a goal a game at present…that’s even with the missing players in the side. if we are averaging a goal a game in L1, I don’t see how this would improve at an higher level.

TodwickOwl Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 We've gotta get up first, jesus. Got a winter coming up which could be full of injury/covid related setbacks - we need some defensive cover and a forward in, and I think we'll be there or thereabouts. 2/3 players needed max - ship out Sow, Berahino + Wing if we can.

Guest Kameron Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 A side sat 7th in league 1 is clearly not good enough for the level it’s at never mind the one above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
