    I predicted 9th before the season started as I wasn't happy with the transfer window. 

    9th is still whereabouts I think we will finish

    Will Mannion, decent L1 but not better
    Kayne Ramsey, see LJ
    Luke Berry, good goals but lightweight
    REG utility not 1st XI
    Josh Edwards decent defender suffers from nosebleeds
    Lloyd Jones, perhaps best signing
    Alex Mitchell, solid
    Matty Godden, decent but downgrade on May
    Gassan Ahadme, slow and ineffective
    Greg Docherty, woeful
    Alan Campbell, as above
    Dan Potts, invisible
    Kaheim Dixon, one for the future
    Dan Hylton, fat pub player

    That is 14 players LJ has bought and I doubt more than 3 or 4 would be shoe-ins for a promotion chasing team.  Added to the unexpansive play, things need to change.

    After 13 games in the Bowyer promotion season we were on 21 points, we currently have 19.

    We had played well in fits and starts though .  And we had Bauer, Dijksteel, Aribo, Cullen, Bielik, Taylor and Grant

    We started slowly that season because we couldn’t even name a full bench for most of August

    Bielik, Aribo and Dijksteel improved as the season went on too. We shouldn’t completely write off the chances of some of our current young players doing the same.

    Just stating facts, not a critique or trying to prove a point of any sort

    After 13 games last season we were on 18. At this stage, performances are within reason as relevant as results. We look shite. 
  • The problem this year isn’t his tactics or playing style.  The biggest problem this year is Jones recruitment strategy - too much reliance on ex championship experienced players who are on the decline or on our youth.  Not enough focus on players who are proven at this level but are in the prime of their careers

    Which is what most fans wanted I should imagine.
    Acquire the best current players in your league.
  • Birmingham are the standout team, little between the rest, we’re within touching distance of the playoffs and have room for improvement. Crucial couple of months ahead as we need to get to Jan within touching distance or better. Adding a couple of quality players in Jan will make all the difference. The foundation is there.
