Where Do You Think We'll Be Next Season?

[Flashheart]

Play Ferry in the middle and we'll be in the Championship next season. FACT!

Conference South after being demoted 3 divisions for financial irregularities.

15th in L1. We've sacked 3 managers since KMac and are the laughing stock of the Football League. Oh hang on, I'm mixing us with Blackburn

At the turn of the year, after the 4-0 demolition of Carlisle following 5-0s against Tranmere and Portsmouth, with Ward and Devera our untroubled centre back pairing, Danny Hollands and Ferry complementing each other in midfield (Bostock still an option on the bench), Ritchie and De Vita on either wing and Williams and Collins terrifying defences and banging in goals up front, I was certain, and remain certain, that at that time we were by far and away the best team in the league and  set for a repeat of the previous year with a second half season canter to promotion.

Never in my most pessimistic thoughts could I have predicted the 3 months that were ahead of us. The injury to Hollands which saw him go back to Charlton (a turning point I think many have overlooked), the protracted sale of the club, the loss of Ritchie followed by the last minute FL embargo preventing the transfer of Pack Wright-Phillips and Green (who I genuinely think were of a calibre and filled positions that could have made the difference to the squad without Ritchie), the embargo fiasco that we still haven't had fully explained to us, the resignation of Di Canio. So many negative things that have taken their toll on and off the field.

We are only really still in the play-offs due to the simultaneous poor form of all the teams around us. However much we need to remain optimistic and get behind the current squad, this is a shadow of the team Di Canio had at his disposal against Tranmere/ Portsmouth/ Carlisle.

I like to think it's still possible, but after everything that's happened this just doesn't feel like a promotion season anymore.

League 1 for a few seasons to come...

Leaning towards this.

We'll be 2nd come Saturday evening if that's any use!

I think you will find that is mathematically impossible on Saturday but by Tuesday night we could be.

This sums it all up quite nicely

League zone no doubt.

We'll finish lower next season than we do this season. Sadly, for many different reasons the second half of this season has been a complete and utter wasted opportunity.

Have to agree with this DV. PDC leaving really did come at the wrong time and its really affected us with everything going on, embargo related et al. If we limp into the play-offs then perhaps we can save our season but I am not going to gamble my life savings on it.

[TheMajorSTFC]

League One, and I agree with the reasons posted by DV and Bruce!

Share that feeling and good dispassionate analysis - had forgotten about Hollands' growing impact

[FormerlyPlymRed]

Autos L1 next season, lose in the playoffs this season imo

[mrverve]

This season we'll get in the PO then fuck knows.

Next season fuck knows.

[inept and tiresome]

League 1 and struggling

Sorry but this gets my vote.
