    The chances of of us getting relegated are low but not zero.
    So does that mean I can still dream of the playoff charge?

    Of course you can, it may be improbable but still possible.

    Thought I would like to remind everyone that talking of the teams coming up , we are still not assured of our place in the Championship next season !
    We already have our league 1 team, nice to at least think of what we will do when/if we stay up.

    If were wasting time with impossible dreams, I'm going for Keely Hodgkinson and a thigh strain massage.

    Alfie May to leave Huddersfield Town,  May has struggled at Huddersfield since his summer move from Birmingham City

    Back to Cheltenham I reckon. Full circle.

    One of the losing Playoff sides will sign him. Strikers not working out at Huddersfield just seems to be one of those things.

    I have been impressed by Alli at Pompey ( on loan from Luton) tricky and pacy…..worth a punt if Pompey go down

    On one hand Pompey fans complaining about his lack of consistency, attitude, workrate and in general not being great. Also a winger which we dont play. 

    On the other hand it’s an ex Luton player so that settles it get him in

    We need a better central midfield. Players who still give a sold defensive shield, and work as hard as Coventry and Doc, but who are better on the ball, as we create so little from midfield. I'm not expecting massive flair there, but we do need something a bit better. 

    Indeed that's where I would have spent some money last summer. 
    If Oxford were to be relegated,  I wonder if they would be tempted to sell Brannigan.  May be too much for our budget but would be a definite step up in quality.
    He is a good player, but similar to what we have, and not that much of a step up in quality. And he wouldn't be cheap. I think we can get better.
    Either underestimating how good Brannagan is or overestimating how incredibly average our midfield is, from a defensive physical side they’re alright but from a technical side L1 at best 
    If he was that good, he wouldn’t have stayed at Oxford for all these years. He is a good player, but don’t think he is a massive up grade on what we have. We need to shop in a different market to progress.

    Think he will have plenty of L1/L2 options in Yorkshire . Barnsley , Bradford , a return to Doncaster or Rotherham all live options

    I said it last year and I hope the January rumours were true, but we should push the boat out for Charlie Savage.

    In fact we should have feasted on Reading players in the summer when available at knock down prices before their takeover.

    I'm thinking Perreira and  Wing too.

    Jones isn’t going to abandon his principles of players who can’t play out of possession. 
    We all can agree we need players who can play with the ball but it doesn’t mean he’s going to sacrifice the main philosophy what got us into this position in the first place which Savage isn’t great at

    He’s not their player but Kamari Doyle should be someone we go for next year. Brighton do rate him but maybe a permanent transfer to (hopefully) a championship team next year could tempt him.

    Sounds like it was a happy ending at least!

    Probably a bs story but a rumour none the less, apparently we’re interested in a LWB called Berkay Yilmaz Turkish U21 international currently playing in the 2nd tier of Germany

    A pacey attacking LB/LWB and good on the ball according to FM.

    Definitely a more attacking option than Edwards. 6 assists but some ropey defensive numbers

    His defensive stats aren’t too bad in comparison to chambers tbf. Potentially we’re looking for a defensive and attacking minded wingback option?

    This is widely known to be Nathan Jone's preferred model (think back to Edwards / Small last year) 

    This guy seems to be a non-frustrating Small in fact, delivering some acutal end product.  Hopefully we get a chance to see
