[Archived] Looking ahead 2018/19

[tugayislegend]

IF (fingers crossed) we get promoted, what areas would we need to strengthen in to stay up in the championship and progress? 

I dont think we need many additions, but the few we add have to be real quality. Would like to see us spend a good amount on a winger and RB first before strengthening in other areas. 

Any thoughts guys?

Too soon

Sadly most of our budget would probably go on keeping the team we have now. ie signing the likes of chapman, armstrong, payne etc.

New deals for a good few of the players to keep who we have

Anything thats left then needs to go on a striker to replace/compliment Graham.

A top striker can mask a lot of problems in that league and we have some good creative flair behind

Maybe so, but we have to have that belief we will get there, we are in a great position and im sure TM has already identified players he would like.

Agreed it is too soon to be posting this but let's do this. The starting XI v Barnsley in the game which effectively relegated us last April:

Steele

Nyambe

Williams

Hoban

Wes Brown

Guthrie (subbed Graham who wet off and replaced by Gallagher)

Bennett

Lowe

Mahoney

Emnes (subbed by Conway)

Joao

Unused subs: Feeney, Ward, Akpan, Raya

I'd far rather have our current squad

Agh, no, just no!!! 

Things are positive, we don't need a negative bitching thread which this will inevitably become

Id say its pretty positive to talk about what happens after promotion.

Could argue saying its to soon is the negative part

If you think this thread will be positive, I am afraid you are in for a let down  

The day to have it is the day we confirm promotion. A second beforehand is a waste of time.  A lot depends on who performs well between now and the end of the season. 

As such, I will now exit the thread stage left

Keep what we have (except Ward, Evans and possibly Samuel) and work on the defense - simples
