    I’d take getting relegation this season if it means the takeover will finally go through. That’s how low we’ve sunk

    Trouble is a lot of people believed the same would happen with relegation to League One and here we are 3rd consecutive season looking like a 3rd tier mainstay now.

    I'm 99% sure we'll be top half & backed us to be so big time.
    I've also backed us for top 6 and I'm 75% confident of that.
    I even think we've a chance of the automatics if Sunderland and Barnsley aren't as strong as I thought.
    I'll go 4th.

    It feels odd saying, 'When the takeover goes through', because it's acquired a kind of mythical status now, but if it goes through before Christmas I think we're in with a great shout.

    Hoping top six, maybe higher if we have everybody fit and Taylor keeps scoring.

    Still think a couple of key injuries will hamper us, and we'll remain frustratingly close to the playoffs but ultimately miss out

    Agreed usually each season the squad depth is tested to it's core come winter, remember Southend away last season on Boxing Day where we didn't fill a full bench?

    Injuries will continue while suspensions will kick in as well along with the sale of anyone out of contract next summer will probably see us tail off into the bottom half. Usual stuff under RD.

    Not at all miserable, absolutely delighted we've won today, I just stand by my pre-season prediction based on previous squads lacking depth sorry if it goes against the grain following a good win today.

    Winning it @ 33/1 (now down to 22’s on Sky bet), Promotion @16/1 now an astonishing 11/2,
    Top Southern Team was @ 9/1 now 5/1.

    Plus a bunch of dual forecasts, Charlton Sunderland being worth a bloody fortune!

    The bookies are sure shortening the odds on us. I’ve got a belief going on I’ve hammered both 33s and 22s, with cover bets on Top southern and Playoff winners.

    Keep the faith the Reds are going up!

    The squad has definitely been improved at the eleventh hour. I think a lot of us would revise our predictions upwards.

    The squad with the returning players looks good enough for a top six finish. In fact if this group doesn’t achieve a top six finish it will be a complete failure.
    I’m now predicting 4th, 5th or 6th.

    Although I was moaning yesterday this league need to fear us.
    Our weakest midfield line up would give any other teams midfield a run for its money, we will be in a position where we will be able to rest midfielders and they won't have to play every game.

    Well said clb74 i remain convinced we have nigh on the strongest squad in this divisionLook who did not start on saturday,Sarr,Lapslie,Fosu,Igor,Phillips,Clarke,Belieck,when all fit and suspension free,that is a shit hot bench,most of those would walk into many other teams in this league.Throw in Pratley,Ajose, Marshall,Difkstell,Morgan ,I just do not understand where we are supposed to be lacking in depth.The takeover situation has sod all to do with what happens on the pitch so all this negativity surrounding RD continual involvement is crap.Bowyer and the rest of the coaching staff will keep internal problems away from the players.We will finish minimum top 6,and with a bit of luck top2.

    Of the 10 midfielders we have I'd happily start any 4 of them against any team.

    At last we have the depth of squad we need to push for the top.

    Taylor staying fit and not picking up yellows will be important.

    Just seen Bauer out for at least two months, maybe longer. What was it someone said about avoiding injuries?

    If the news about Bauer wasn't so bad, this would be one of those NLA mic drop moments. Re-evaluation time for the LOL's? :smile:

    Won't be in any danger of being relegated while Bauer, Pearce, Solly, JFC, Aribo and Taylor are the core of our side. League One always throws up one or two absolutely god awful sides that you'd have to be proper pants to finish below.

    At the same time, we don't have enough strength in the squad to challenge for the play offs.

    I have us in the 10th to 15th range but since that's not an option, 13th to 20th will do.

    This was my opinion from a couple of months back before we got a run of games under our belts. I’m gonna upgrade us to top half. Hopefully I don’t end up looking silly after Roland sells Fosu and Taylor in January for a combined 500k.

    But we do have Sarr and Bielik should be back soon so there is some cover.

    Nope, I think the chance of us ending in the bottom half of the table is about 1%.
