    Bet Luke Hewitson might have something to say too.

    Agreed. However it’s another reminder to our fanbase that ‘showing some ambition’ comes with consequences. We don’t keep the likes of Rigg, Young and Watson without a clear pathway into first team games. And we don’t have a pathway if we ‘show ambition’ by bringing in a load of senior experience every single window.

    A Rolls Royce of a defender in this league.

    Just been thinking about if we did go up it’s crazy the level in quality that we will have to go up for signings to come in.

    I wonder who stays in the XI, drops to the bench and who ends up being loaned out.

    Trying to be as unbiased as possible this is who I think will stay in the XI, drop to the bench and who could be loaned out

    XI

    Patto
    Cirkin
    Mepham (we hope)
    Hume (maybe)
    Jobe
    Rigg
    Neil

    Subs

    Isidor
    Watson
    Mundle
    Roberts
    O9
    Samed (Maybe)
    Ballard
    Browne

    loaned out

    Aleksic
    Abdullahi
    Hjelde
    Seelt
    Triantis
    (Whoever else)

    Because they’ve both got a turn of pace I think Mundle and Watson could both step up to the challenge.

    I do agree. I would stress we would need 3/4 players who’ve played premier league football to come in too as well as exciting young talent

    Absolutely, there’s always someone better especially at our level. We’re looking forward not backwards though.

    Agree. I will say though CF, CM, CB id defo want some PL experience for. Mepham could be the CB

    I’d bet on us continuing the pathway idea and letting many of our players have a chance to prove they can handle the step up. Certainly wouldn’t expect us to do a Forest.

    Or ihe only said he was gay as a reason to not return back to his own country, securing his visa? Obviously if it played a part as suggested?

    Could be either tbh.

    Agree. I just hope we supplement the side with 3/4 PL players. It’s vital to have that experience in there.

    Speakman with PL money is defo exciting for some of the young talent we could bring in mind haha

    we some how have to get into a position to be able to buy not yet signed, highly rated 18-20 year olds like brighton like baleba who play week in week out and dont look out of place

    the challenge is monumental and inevitably come back down, however when i compare how we play now to have the 3 promoted teams this year, ipswich, southampton, leicester, we arent a possession pep clone team, we're comfortable without the ball and ideally we like to be without it, steal it and drive forward. I believe we'd invariably have more success than southampton at the very least.

    The morrocan igaman at rangers would be worth a look, 3 goals today and just hit the post.

    Would be but think palace would want to include jobe in any deal as they are known to be keen on him, for me I would rather keep him for another year

    That’s what I think too. I think RLB’s style gives us much more of a chance in the PL than the others.
