This topic should be sent to the Nobbers site. Next season their derby with Blackpool could be back on.

Our ability to survive is going to be heavily dependant on squad goals from players like Weimann, Cantwell, Dolan which sums up how hard it's going to be with the squad we have.

Ohashi and Gueye are going to be lucky to get to 5-10 goals between them in my opinion, we have no Szmodic/Armstrong/Brereton this time around.

Ohashi has 4 league goals as it is, I expect / hope him to at least double that tally by the end of the season. Gueye on the other hand...we'll be lucky if he scores at all, so you are probably bang on with the 5-10 goals estimate.

There is definitely room for someone to grab the bull by the horns in the squad. None of Szmodics, Brereton or Armstrong looked capable of that at first but they all came good  after a period of time. Lets hope that there is someone in this current group that can do the same.

Someone mentioned on the Cardiff thread suggested playing Weimann as the number 9. I honestly think that's not a bad shout at all. Switch Weimann with Ohashi and I think you've got more chance of someone getting on the end of chances as he did on Saturday.

Call me old fashioned but I think less than 10 goals in a season is fucking shit for a main striker.

I think that goes without saying to be honest.
