In football it is easy to be to out of the game and out of job and the longer that a person is the, the more difficult it is to get back in. Alan Curbishely being the prime example. So even if it is job that is clearly got huge problems and limitations, then it is tempting to take it.braydex said:

But we were in League One though... You always deserve to be where you end up as the table doesnt lie.Splodge said:
Just like people cant take away the fact that our greatest season was that one in 2011/123 -
Top 6 was the aim that Slade has discussed publicly. I personally think League One has a lot of ok teams but nothing to be frightened of. All much of a muchness.
But sadly we are probably going to fit that description too, unless we take on Crofts and Foley and also go and sign 2-4 more players, be that on season long loans or permanent signings.
We probably need to plan for life without Kashi, Bauer and to a lesser extent Jackson (finances dictating) and then any game time we do get from those players is a bonus.1 -
We need at least 6 half decent players more to be competitive...
Katrien do you see that 6 half decent (lower Championship or Premier League quality is fine) to be 'COMPETITIVE'.
COMPETITIVE...
Your favourite word in describing our goal for a season.4 -
So we could have a centre back pairing of (Franz) Burke and Bauer.Valley11 said:Reece Burke linked in SLP.
West Ham centre back who won player of the year at Bradford last season.
And guess what......it would be a loan.2 -
Unfortunately it also quotes Bilic as saying he'd want him to play in the Championship as he's already had a season in League OneJack Charlton said:

Christ, season hasn't even started yet and people already talking about when Slade will leave!
Not 2 weeks ago everyone nodded and agreed it was a decent appointment.
I'm concerned about our current squad, I plan on keeping my barnet though so not going to worry too much until at least Bury away.3 - Sponsored links:

I agree. Not a huge amount has changed, as it was obvious some players (especially Cousins and JBG) would go. But now that they have, I want to see a couple more come in.DeeBee said:Christ, season hasn't even started yet and people already talking about when Slade will leave!

I wondered how long it would take for you to start the same old bollocks.seth plum said:
Slade must deliver at least 13 points before the transfer window slams shut, and 50 points around third round of the cup time.4 -
So who will we draw with in August?seth plum said:There is now no money for signings? Did I read that? So the desperate giveaway sales pay for the losses and we are left with loans.
So instead of seeing Premiership stars of the future we now see other clubs stars of the future.
Great.
Slade is staggering around within this madness trying to make the best of it, he has chosen this of his own free will and must deliver at least 13 points before the transfer window slams shut, and 50 points around third round of the cup time.
Loans because we have no money, I blame Sue Parkes.
Bury / Northampton / Shrewsbury / Walsall / Bolton
As Northampton wont want to lose their first game, Bolton will be trying to do the same as us whilst Walsall will be trying to forget just missing out on automatic promotion and the Play-Offs... Bury on the other hand have signed some decent Free Transfers.0 -
Exactly. He has taken the job on for his own reasons. Doesnt mean they are the right reasons.vff said:

No. I just didn't class being relegated to the third tier of English football and then getting promotion as our greatest season. It was a relief if anything.ForeverAddickted said:2 -
I don't want to draw with anybody, I want to win them all, but I could handle one draw in five at the start of the season.ForeverAddickted said:

Of course if it is any worse than that, speaking personally, I will think we have made a crap start to the season.
Back to your question, if one is to be a draw I guesstimate it will be Bolton.1 -
we didn't just get promotion we got the clubs record points tally (IIRC) and won the league comfortably.braydex said:

I would love us to get promoted this season and I was optimistic about the season ahead, especially after the first few signings.
Some of the rumours I heard were from a third or fourth party source, which could be unreliable. Some of it has been correct, like Slade being named manager.
Other bits I'm unsure on because I think, how would they know that, like Slade being told to make do with what he's got.
Perhaps one or two players might be signed on loan or from lower league clubs and Slade has experience in these areas, so I'm hoping he proves me wrong.
I think a lack of signings, at this stage means it will be mid table finish.0 -
I think we need at least 5 or 6 new players in.7

Think it will be next week now for more signings to arrive4

There is a list I believe0

Well one of the signings MUST be a goalkeeper.
Would imagine that 1-2 of the guys we've had on trial will be signed as they're free.0 -
Hope its a long one!Redhenry said:There is a list I believe

Hope we sign Buxton. Foley and Crofts do not look good enough.3

Crofts can't be that bad can he, he played quite a few games for Brighton in the championship last season.3
-
Buxton if Chris Solly continues to be plagued by injuries.Covered_End_Lad said:Hope we sign Buxton. Foley and Crofts do not look good enough.
I agree with your comment regarding Foley and Crofts based on the little bit i have already seen, and in my ideal world I would release Roger Johnson too.
We need a raft of decent signings, but if Slade can manufacture continual wins from what he has at his disposal then good for him,1
