    Does anyone else think that Burton Albion are going to be quite a bit better than that predicted finish. JFH got them very tight last season and I can see them being a tough, well organised team again.

    BBQ on Monday. What ifs on Tuesday. 

    I’m concerned what Wednesday will bring us on the rumours thread!

    It won’t be a signing for sure!

    This thread is depressing.

    Mind you, this summers transfer activity has been pretty depressing & the two go hand in hand

    League prediction from FLW above. As Burton are in the same league and I think will be up there and doesn’t include a bald fat bloke eating a burger I thought it worth posting.

    Potentially? But they could also do a Sheffield United and fall apart over time.

    Yes, but a riposte to Dazzler's throwaway line about Bowyer's mood change, which is subjective and no doubt tongue in cheek.

    My comment about Ronnie's miss is factual, in that if Ronnie had scored that, it would have been a 3 point swing against the team that made the playoffs. Just playing the hypothetical game.
    So are my examples. It always seems to be Ronnie miss that gets mentioned. Not the stockley or Washington ones.
    What if Bogle had taken the penalty at Gillingham and scored 🤔.  Then Washington could not have missed it but we wouldn't have known that was the play-off clincher.  
    Schwartz miss cost us 2 points against an eventual play-off team. 
    You could make up what if's all day.

    What if Schwartz scored his penalty (that was well saved)

    What if Oxford didn't have a man sent off giving away a silly and needless penalty against AFC Wimbledon

    What if James Henry had stayed on the pitch and assisted/scored another goal?

    What if Bowyer had gone in February?

    What if we had a rumours thread that stayed dedicated to rumours and not last seasons results, random barbecues and loads of other pointless shit.

    All the what-iffery in the world simply won't change the outcome because it is not reality... It is hindsight. 
    Had the penalty at Oxford been scored it would have been 1-0 as no time was left after really.  That is not conjecture. 1 point less for them, 2 more for us.

    My point is there were 3 instances where we took it away from ourselves. Not 1, not 2 but 3.
    Had Crewe not scored in the last minute at the Valley we'd have been in the Play-Offs

    They equalised that night with the last kick of the game...
    Yes so that is 4 . Then there is Shrewsbury away too in the last minute. 
    Not to mention Oxford lost against Accrington | Northampton | Wimbledon after our draw - Had we beaten them thanks to Schwartz's penalty, whats to say they wouldnt have won those games as they'd have had a little more desperation about them
    Inspired by a home defeat in the last minute Oxford go on to win at least of 2 of 3 games they actually lost. Of course.  Lucky we only drew there then. 
    Its not a case of inspiration - Their job of getting into the Play-Offs would have instantly been harder

    So would have had to work even harder to achieve their goal, perhaps those defeats were off the back of letting their guard down

    As Golfie says, its all IFs...

    We just dont know if the same set of results would have happened for both teams had the penalty been different

    This is becoming ridiculous.

    I just came on here to see if there were any rumours on signings and all I can see are comments about last season and factors leading to us not making the playoffs. I know there are not many rumours on signings but how about those who want to discuss last season start a separate thread.

    In the unlikely event of a rumour I think it’s better if a separate thread is started for that and all the bullsh@t is left in here.

    We were warned after years of turmoil that once the takeover was sorted, things may seem boring! 
    Well I didn’t expect it to be this boring 😟

    If there is a genuine player close to joining then a new thread probably will be created for them

    East London boy, left WHU academy in January 2020.

    We've done alright with Powells in the past...

    Out of thin air, I literally just made it up because the thread was so grim the last couple of days that I missed the fake ass rumours we used to get in here.  Dazzler, feel free to list me.
    Cue 20 pages about whether @BR7_addick is being sarcastic and how he’s not the right sort of player that we need!

    Ive never seen @BR7_addick play so won’t comment if he is the right sort of player we need, what I will say is….does he pass the Charlton life height test.
