    Honestly every bit of news about Bournemouth Brentford and wolves is making me excited.

    Brentford are more than likely losing mbuemo and have lost their manager of 7 years replacing him with Keith Andrews

    Bournemouth about to lose 4 of their back 5 and now kluivert being linked away .

    Wolves lost 2 of their best players and could lose their manager

    did we time promotion perfectly cause on paper it looks like the best chance of a promoted team staying up in years

    This is excellent news imo. I think there's 3 key components to this which I like:

    1) Patto is still only 25 which is young in keeper terms. He's still got potential to develop further and a top coach will enable that.
    2) If Martinez thinks he's "the best English keeper coach by miles", then that sounds like the perfect person to trust with England's next Number 1 Matty Young.
    3) We need to upgrade from Simon Moore and Sam Johnstone is the perfect option. Solid, but happy to compete, not expecting to start.

    Sam Johnstone would expect to be number 1 here mind, no question.

    Probably not, just last year 2 points deductions and 32 points would have been enough.

    That doesn't mean we can't stay up just that it isn't the best time - think Brentford and bournemouth will adequately replace what they lose but wolves possibly in trouble.

    Bournemouth have Iraola so I ain’t counting them.

    Truffert is a solid replacement for Kerkez, they will struggle to replace Huijsen but they won’t sell Zabarnyi.

    If they lose Semenyo and Kluivert, then that’s hard to replace like.

    They’d still have Sinisterra and Outtara who’d walk into our wing positions though.

    If they lose those 2 then they'd have brought in over 200m in sales alone, the PSR rules would let them go absolutely ****ing batshit.

    Marvelous! And you're right. The rewards came with those ten days and two injury time winners.

    Whatever happens now, we are back on track after that horror show.

    This is a very Moneyball thing to say (great film, even if not 100% factually correct. It's one of the main reasons i'm so interested in data) but we probably need to score 45+ goals and concede less than 70 to survive. Obviously that can change but they are just broad estimates looking at the previous few seasons.

    We scored 58 across 46 games last season, conceding 44. It's the scoring goals part that worries me and where I think we need to improve the most. We need goals throughout the attack, multiple strikers hitting double figures, wingers getting 7+ and midfielders around 5+. Then we have to continue to be dangerous from set pieces, especially in games against the elite sides where open play chances will be hard to create.

    I trust Mayenda to get to his target especially with a bit of refinement over the summer. Isidor i'm unsure on right now but I have high hopes that the higher defensive lines will help him. Mundle, similar to Mayenda, with a summer of refinement I expect him to be a big player. Outside of that though I currently struggle to see where the goals come from in the current squad.

    Another striker, starting right winger, wing depth on both sides and a 10 who can create and be a goal threat is all needed in my opinion.

    Possibly true but I think he's the kind of profile keeper who might accept that he's in a fight for the position rather than being an automatic starter. He'd also be cheap, you'd imagine.

    Yeah I think replacing Roberts is a pretty good start to that, you go from 1 open play goal to hopefully 7/8

    They are all still starting from a significantly stronger base than we are with more funds (as a result of selling all those players) and more PSR space to rebuild.

    Still, I agree, the disruption won't do our chances any harm.

    Charlie Gray
    agreed. I totally don’t see the need for confusion at keeper. Either they believe in Patto or they don’t. If they do, Moore will sit on the bench just fine. If they don’t then get a new starter. Competition at keeper doesn’t exist outside of preseason.

    I think Nixons story was purely about the new GK coach. The Johnstone link was then a crappy website lazily saying we might want him as a result

    If Patto gets injured in the first week of September and is out for a few months, that's relegation confirmed. The Premier League is ruthless and we need a stronger number 2.

    The one thing that Advantage wise next season is that Paddy will have more time and space on the ball.
