HMS Piss the League…


Recommended Posts

Go on then, what’s everyone thinking for this season?

Long odds for autos seems right, as things stand with the squad although we’ve started to see some good business.

Fairly long odds for playoffs, it’s going to be very competitive, but not necessarily high quality. There are a god 10-12 clubs that can make a good case for the playoffs and have squads you’d think ‘on paper’ are better than ours. However I do think there is a strong team ethic amongst this group, which could carry us a long way with that additions and a bit of luck with injuries.

There don’t appear to be many lame ducks in the league, even if some won’t have the biggest wages, ie mini pigs.

Im going to say we finish mid table (12-16), after a slightly stuttering but gradually improving start.

If injuries don’t ravage us, maybe a decent FA Cup run to say 5/6th round, always subject to the draw of course.

I'm going 15th at xmas and will take that. A play off push can happen fairly easily in the championship from there. BUT our aim IMO should be solid in this league and go from there. We ain't anyway near ready to creep up via the playoffs, just unrealistic.

We need a bit of time to judge what we’re capable of. These new additions need time to bed in, Xisco is still getting our established squad members into his way of thinking/playing.

I’d love to see us capable of pushing the top 6, but right now it’s impossible to say for sure if we’re near that.

It’s difficult to say right now because we have some glaring holes in the squad that need filling before the end of August.

If you were to ask me now, I’d say bottom 6. Not enough pace and power to play on the counter, and not enough players with craft and guile to go to a total football set-up. Which means ale house.

But, if Xisco can get some athletes into the club, and some real pace. Then I think we can finish comfortably in the middle third and maybe creep towards top 10.

This is going to be a tough division based on what has come down.
