100% be tough, all about nailing the window and having quite a few boys kick on - the good thing is there are plenty capable of kicking on
that’s it it’s one thing to say we can stay up but on the other side of the coin look who has to go down the gap has got so big that it’s almost unthinkable confident we’ve got the approach on and off the field to do better than Burnley and Leeds, let’s do what we can do
Ko times next season are going to be awful, Fridays Saturdays Sundays Mondays mid day occasional 3pm 5_30 and worst of all possible 8pm Saturdays. Misery for away games.
I'd love to see the sellable value of us compared to Burnley, I bet the gap would be nowhere near the cost value
Fully expect both to be back in the top 10 Who replaces them in the lower half? Fulham, Bournemouth, Brighton and Brentford all have very good PL squads now
Going to take a perfect window and some luck. Will need Burnley and Leeds to not step up and then one of the established to have a stinker. Wolves loosing Cunha and Bournemouth losing key players too. One bad window from any of them or a Fulham etc might give us a chance. If I’m honest I think 30 points would look a big ask but these lads have produced something special already, they might just again with some help in the summer. It’s exciting to see though.
Forest will struggle in the league next season imo They’ll have European games on a Thursday then plenty of Sunday fixtures. It’s really tricky to find the right balance
I am not prepared to believe we dont have the core of a squad capable of competing. I said in our league one days we had players who would show up better in the championship. I believe we have players who will thrive under the challenge. Mayenda, Jobe, Le Fee, Rigg, Hume, Neil. All of those ready imo. Ballard maybe. Huggins could be anything still. Cirkin has it in him. The difference much of this season has been our togetherness. Football teams are always more than the sum of their parts. Break up the core of this team at our peril imho. Rare, imho, that a team changed by 50% goes onto success. Besides, wtf is the point if you dont get a chance as a player to prove yourself after success. I would rather see a team with Neil, Patto, Rigg at its heart again. If we can keep Jobe, Ballard, Hume and Mayenda in too then I will take whatever comes our way.
Finishing 17th would be as big of an achievement as promotion this season imo That’s how tough it’ll be.
A couple of things mate. One we can make the Stadium a place noone wants like coming to. Many promoted clubs recently dont have that tool. Second, we have players whose ceiling is unknown and again we have a team that will have no premier league baggage. If I am Rigg, or Jobe, or Mundle I am thinking I am going to take this league by storm. We might well be a different proposition to many promoted clubs recently, just because we have a very different approach.
I'm not sure with Man United. Missing out on Europe will mean they struggle to attract the sort of players that they want, and their finances aren't great. I can see them struggling again
