The supercomputer has us finishing 15th. (i.e. no progress from last season) Probably accurate based on our squad at this point in time. Last season, it predicted a 12th finish for us. It did have the three promoted teams in the top 8 although got the top 2 completely wrong with Norwich and Watford.
I have to admit I was a bit confused prior to reading this ground breaking,open,frank and honest head to head... Now I'm ****ing baffled!!!
perhaps we should rely on the computer to decide the table, it will take out the need for all that football. Though as you point out its never really all that accurate. i mean norwich going up...Yeah right.
Of course we need at least 2 wingers, I said the priority is 5. We will probably get more, but it also depends on the players we have getting rid of, or players like Longman, Sunil & Vaughn managing to build themselves in preseason into the players we need. Yes it probably will be 10, but like I said, I think the initial priority will be 5, but there’s no point bringing in 10 players if they’re all going to be like Pelkas & Malcolm!
Without looking at the super computer and being the super computer that I am.. I'm guessing 1. Southampton 2. Leicester 3. Leeds 4. Middlesbrough 5. West Brom 6. Watford 7. Sunderland 8. Blackburn 9. Millwall 10. Norwich or something like that... I suspect last season the Super Computer had Luton about 10th.
Remember gimps, it's a bench of 9 for next season. Plenty of chances for squad to develop and get game time.
We currently have five wingers in Ally, Longman, Sinik, Vaughan and Covil. We only need one more if we keep all of these. I don’t think the value of budget last year was terrible. We finished 10th/11th from the date Rosie came in and this was despite not having a striker for many weeks. If we sell some of our established players like Greaves and Oscar then we may need more in but otherwise 5 looks about right.
I know you know...but no. But I think subs 8&9 can be simons and Vaughan as an example, and when we are 7-0 up against Sheff massive they can get minutes under there belt.
The 'Super Computer' as of 14.45 today currently shows us in 7th position...Looks like we've narrowly missed out on the play-offs,what a bastard!!!
Good point. I did miss them off but they wouldn’t count towards the registered squad anyway due to their age. Loanees regardless of age do count though so Delap would count as part of the 25-man squad.
But, for three years he was OUR snake - in that time you could never fault his commitment or effort; so he wanted out and angled to get it when we were relegated? Big deal, at his stage of career who could blame him for not wanting a 'relegation clause' pay cut? I loved seeing the dirty white ****e twat (cos that's what he is now) playing in black and amber.
I swear people are delusional. Covil was criticised on here a fair amount in the brief time we saw him and he didn't look ready, Vaughan is still young, Sinik was loaned out as LR didn't want him and Longman was in and out of the 18 at the end of the season. Yet we only need 1 winger, of course we do. Don't worry about scoring goals lads, we don't need them
