A younger, better version of Gestede to give us a different option up front, might be easier to get him with Wigan likely to go down Should have signed him instead of Hogan and saved a huge chunk of change.

tinker Posted April 28, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2017 I want us to keep winning the next game until the end of the season. If we start next season how we finished this one then we should get play offs. It's not going to be a walk in the park that's for sure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want and what is reality are quite different. Play offs at absolute best for me. Edited April 29, 2017 by The Fun Factory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at our last 5 games, we've won 1, drawn 1, lost 3.. thats 4 points. Thats less than a point a game average, over the season you end up with less than 40 points. Relegation. We did beat QPR 6 games ago though, depends how many games you class as end of season form, but its very likely we will lose to Brighton who are trying to win the title on Saturday as well. Some form guides look at the last 5 games, others 6, so for arguments sake if you include that QPR game it would average out to 53 points, which is what Birmingham are trying to achieve if they win their last game.. either way if we "start the next season the way we finished this one" we'd be in a relegation battle, not play offs.

Based on what I've seen this season, given Bruce having now had a lot of time to do things his way, I am not at all confident that will will achieve the goal of what should be automatic promotion. There's a lot to do. He is alleged to have said in one paper..."its now my team, they are meant to reflect me.....no way is this team refelcting me and my persona" much work as you say. I think some who we think are ok, will go too. make of that what hou will. Edited April 30, 2017 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Pre season will give us an idea but those first two or three games of the season will tell us if we have improved as a team. Infact I'd go as far to say the first game of the season will tell us a whole lot. If it's a typical this season performance then I will be concerned.

Sheff U, Bolton and maybe Bradford through the playoffs. All ex Prem, all have had the better of us in the not too distant past. Really unlucky bunch of clubs for us i think. Particularly when it could have been Scunthorpe, Fleetwood etc. Its really gutting that we are losing Wigan and Rotherham from the league as they made up 2 of the 3 teams we did the double over this season? Think thats right. Its the 10 away wins that i cant see happening. If Reading go up, then we will look down the fixture list in a couple of months and see 23 away games for next season listed. We'll have only won at one of those grounds in the season just gone. Just, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
