Agree you want goals coming from various sources and maybe the lad Evans can chip in, with Mavadidi and Fatawu but beyond them I don’t see where the goals come from. The midfield lacks a KDH type for instance.

 

A striker who reliable gets somewhere near 20 is a must IMO.

Oh I agree.. I'm just saying you don't necessarily need it to get promoted.. but you will to stay up.

 

Fatawu and Mavi if they stay fit will bag 10. Lacey could get around 10. Will sign a number 10 or two. But I'd like a proper striker, but someone with a physical presence too. Need it in the EPL.. be good to be able to go more direct and swing a cross in to someone that might win the header

Pleased Cardiff have gone down. Feel like theyre a bogey team.

 

Hopefully Derby stay up for the free 6 points.

Must be almost certain we’ll play Wrexham first day of the season. Sky will demand it.

I’m putting a tenner on us going again. We’re ****ing shit. 

We are yes but there is some extra shit in the division so personally I'd save that tenner

If Vardy plays for Wrexham as well...

Matty James masterclass 4-1 Wrexham win 🤣

I keep forgetting how well Birmingham have done and their investment. Top 10 close to top 6 surely?

Really?  Given the sums they invested they should be winning the league, still a relatively average squad.

Some nice away days being lined up. Hopefully Hull somehow stay up too, another close one for me personally. Excited for the trip to Oxford.

Most of the squads in the championship are average. 3 or 4 decent signings and they'll be in and around 6th to 10th

Yeah they definately need a few good signings.

Yea I'd like Oxford away, Wrexham for the atmosphere.. Derby, brum, baggies and stoke. 

 

At least it'll be proper grounds and hopefully more competitive football again

I'd imagine considering they've been promoted since the season kicked off they've got a few lined up

Will be my first visit but it’s a place I’m planning on staying the night I think.

Derby are going. Luton will stay up now.

Definitely an interesting one if you're a ticker and going to enjoy Oxford after for sure!

No chance.

 

Luton, PNE and Hull are all below them and all 3 have quite tricky away games 

 

Derby are at home to a pathetic Stoke side.

[BKLFox]

Without buying anyone we have a starting 11 that should challenge

 

                             Jacob

Ricardo (C) Nelson.  Soutter  Thomas 

                      Skipp    Winks

Fats                       Bilal              Mavi

                               Daka

 

Ricardo as inverted RB making a ball playing midfield and putting Thomas as the LCB.

You still have the likes of Oki, James, Woyo, McAteer and all the lads from the academy…the rest can bloody do 1.

 

Then add a few signings that could/should take a starting slot.

They need to have pace & be around 23/24 or younger.

Competitive games against Wrexham. Top's legacy.

Can't see Luton, Preston and Hull all getting results. Reckon Derby will be fine.

Fair, I hadn’t realised Derby had won today. I thought they were below Luton after the win earlier.

 

I still reckon Luton will stay up by the skin of their teeth.

Looking at the Wrexham team on flashscore, how is Matty James only 33??
