Not got the lotto numbers aswell by any chance?🤣 although I agree our current forward line would suggest you don’t need a crystal ball. Oh hang on I feel a little dodgy there, I wrote something that could be perceived as negative, whatever will I do🙄😂
Let’s see how we do between now and the end of the month, both in terms of results and transfers.
Not willing to rule out a promotion charge just yet. If we looked totally hopeless for 90 minutes on Saturday, that’d be a harder sell. But there was plenty to be encouraged by. Especially in the first half. And Payne & Leaburn’s cameos.
The right additions on top of what we have could be the key. 👍

Yes, I don’t think we are a million miles away, like you say it’s about the right signings added to what we have. BG will work on the problems of Saturday you would hope. Everyone will drop points they don’t expect to, so Saturday was a point gained.
I do have you smile when I read people still saying "let's wait until the end of the transfer window....."
Why's that golfie?
Because all the decent players have obviously been signed already
Not to mention the Premier League sides who have yet to make a decision on loaning out their kids, as they're undecided at the moment whether they should be included in their own League campaigns.
But then if they're right / we're wrong... Or we're right / they're wrong...
Its because we're all geniuses rather than lucky with predictions
It's getting grim on this thread ..... not only is there no rumours but no one has posted any other bollox for nearly an hour.
Isn’t this “Conor” in fact our very own Ronnie Moore aka Colin?
Never been denied
It’s not me … don’t use Twitter anymore
Do you ‘seriously’ expect anyone to believe you. I am not saying it is you, however Colin, you denying it means absolutely nothing at the end of the day simply because you are an inveterate bull shitter. 🤥🤥🤥
I'd also argue we have hit the ground running in terms of the Transfer Market and ahead of the season.
Looking at the team, the back five are done and dusted, its frustrating Egbo is injured but cant be helped, and ideally we need another Left-Back... But we do have Sessegnon, and just have to hope, and expect him not to get injured between now and September, unless of course the plan is for Clayden to be his backup.
Midfield | Striker | Wingers... We probably had our first choice against Accrington, with DJ / Kirk the only debatable position, which I imagine will be decided once Rak-Sakyi or someone else joins - I'm confident we wont get another Striker to replace Stockley, partly because he's just been named captain, and no proven Striker will join at this stage, knowing that they wont be first choice, the moment they walk through the door... Hence why its probably another U21 striker we're waiting for a Premier League side to make a decision on.
The question is now... Is the squad we have, good enough to mount a challenge on the top six, or at least make a continued upwards improvement on 13th last season, because we sure as hell dont want to go backwards.
No doubt people will claim that it cant happen, but this is a Division where sides can be promotion challengers one year, and then go back to being a classic mid-table side the next - Final chance for many to prove last season, was nothing more than a blip.

7. Bottom 3 at the end of October 8. Thomas sacks Garner - " We can't keep conceding stupid goals from trying to pass out from the back, I want a manager who can keep a clean sheet and grind out results, we need to attack more quickly. I've always been a believer in direct football." 9. Tony Pulis becomes the new manager 10. Jason Pearce comes out of retirement to play as an emergency No 9 with both Stockley and Aneke are injured 11. Purrington rejoins for £500k to replace Sessegnon who has been recalled by Fulham 12. We sign 6'9 Kyle Hudlin on loan from Huddersfield as a replacement for Leaburn who goes to Palace for an undisclosed fee 13. Payne, Wollacott and Egbo all go out on loan to Swindon, we sign 3 Accrington players to replace them 14. We finish 13th again. 15. My season ticket for 23/24 goes up another £50
They're worried if they don't tie him down before he comes and plays for us, his head will be turned by the (slightly more) normal looking fans in the stands, and the fact he's not having to play in a Sainsbury's car park every other week. Plus we're still the only club in SE London to win the FA Cup, and are therefore still the only relevant team in SE London

We ain't going up
End off

We do need to sign a few more, but the negativity is so boring.
I don't believe you ever smile so am calling...
By the end of August we will be playing catch up.
Learning from our mistakes my bollox.
