Richie Wellens.. so far.

Promotion will be a hell of an achievement with these body blows. Am still hopeful. What odds in a Town v Bradford play off final?!!

None. We’re going up in autos.

[RobertT]

There may be enough teams around Bradford in better form than them as well.

Can someone do a League Table for 1st Feb if everything goes wrong please?  We lose everything by healthy margins and everyone else gets the best they can (some play each other, so many variables are needed to be tested).

I can then judge how we might finish the season if we don't bother to sign anyone - although we did, so fuck, maybe we do a middle of the road scenario where we snatch a draw or something?

Anyone?

All hypothetical of course, and some teams play each other

[Saxondale]

On Saturday Exeter and playing Colchester.  Could be interesting.

Thing is, at the end of the transfer window we will know the team we have.  The worst position we could be in is 4th if we lose both games and Exeter, Crewe and Plymouth all win both of their games.  Obviously games in hand will still be in hand.

So at this stage, i'd say, chill out.  Wait and see.  Screaming and shouting about things wont change anything.  (Obviously if we all did this then the debate on the forum would be a little dull).

One of the things you have to admire about Wellens is that there have been plenty of obstacles this season and he's kept this team more than competitive.

It's actually going to be interesting seeing a team without Yates and Doyle in a perverse way. So far anyone who has played as the focal point in this team has scored for fun so will be intriguing to see how much or if at all the system has been able to flatter both Doyle and Yates slightly. If another striker comes in and scores regularly it will be a big endorsement of Wellens style.

If Reg had just added  "if we don't replace them" then all this could have been avoided

I wonder if we've been flattering Doyle. I don't mean to take anything away from the ginger god, but it could be that any half-decent striker will do well here. Yates got 5 in 6 when he was playing in Doyle's position.

[Batch]

I dunno.

He's buried a pretty high percentage of his chances, and only missed a few.

if you stick Woolery up top for a few games do you think he's capable of filling in well enough to replace Yates goals (let alone Pele)?

I'm not confident.

I'm basing this on Woolery being an average div 4 striker - you may of course disagree.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

I guess we’ll find out in the next few games.

[Flashheart]

Woolery's not a half-decent striker.

He's decent at other things, but being a striker isn't one of them.

[Peter Venkman]

He's decent at other things, but being a striker isn't one of them.

Unfortunately true, he can head, throw a decent throw in, run, dribble, has decent close control, he is fast can hit a cracking shot from outside the box but he can't yet cross or finish.

[Berniman]

Which is why I think he will play with no striker on Saturday, load up the 2nd line with attacking midfielders.  Hope, Doughty, Woolery, DJ and Isgrove.

I fully expect Twine to remain on the bench, until the second half at least.

Woolery is most effective as a sub. His pace is useful in the last 15 minutes.

if he plays a whole game he's knackered after an hour and his pace is his only real asset.
