We are not very far away from being realistic contenders for the top 6 - if not better.
If we only had a fraction of the money PdC wasted in his reign we'd get there.
As it is, I reckon we're in for a replica of last season - which is no bad thing - maybe even a bit better.
Byrne has been the stand out player for me - more than making up for Pritchard - just needs the odd goal here and there.
Totally agree with this,what gets me is only two weeks ago Power said he had made a bid for that striker,we don't really need that. Spend it on defence that is where we need it as that will be our undoing this season. It isnt worth trying to blend these youngsters if 12 months down the line we are back to square one |

I'll do the balancing act.
As things stand I don't think we have the defence or the options up front to match last year's effort.
The front two are probably good enough but lack of alternatives mean injury, suspension or lack of form will hurt.
The back three as a system is more exposed to wide play, and the personal aren't of last year's standard. It's too leaky at the moment.
The midfield is ace. The team spirit is good. I still predict upper mid table.

Nail on head for me Batch. Stephens would be an ideal player for our system but unfortunately it doesn't look like we are going to get him. What surprised me at Luton was how far forward Branco got at times, adding an extra body into the attack. Clearly this is going to leave us exposed at the back but if we can turn our domination of possession into good chances we'll turn over a lot of sides this season. Apparently the triallist guy Chianese is still here, no news on whether he is likely to join mind you. Could be worth a short term deal. |

Their second was a great finish, how much space did we give them there?!

Williams' goal was decent. First of many this season, I hope.

Could have been a different story if Branco hadn't of slipped, bit unlucky really. Could argue Wes was unlucky with the first one as well, that could happen to every keeper in every game. I was expecting the goals to be down to howlers but looks like bad luck was a factor. |

Yeah, so many had it down as a Foderingham 'error'. How the fuck can you call that an error? He didn't deliberately smash the ball at Turnballs face and 9 times out of 10 that goes where it's supposed to.

That's why it's an error isn't it? i.e. he didn't mean to do it, but did it by mistake |

According to the Football League website, there was nobody there! I can't see the Inland Revenue falling for that one!  http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/ResultsLast7Days/0,,10794,00.htmlEdit: Now given as 5264 |

We are not very far away from being realistic contenders for the top 6 - if not better.
We might be close to a top 6 side but we're miles away from a top 6 squad. The bench from last night was terrifying. Would only need 2 or 3 more injuries for us to be in big trouble. |
