Wilson - We can bounce back

[No Longer Posh Red]

I think Southampton will run away with it next season

To Be Fair everyone said the same about Leeds when they made the play-offs despite a 15 point deduction. The following season they finished outside of the top 2 & lost in the play-offs again.

Soton may well be top dogs next season, but it's far from certain.

I don't think we'll achieve anything next season without spending a few quid on a central defender and some midfielders.

No doubt we need a left winger and another central midfielder plus a two decent strikers, One to replace Paynter and the other for backup for the new guy and Austin as well as having Pericard, Don't bring Nouble back next season Wilson.

We need a good left back and a decent centre back to challenge Greer and Cuthbert.

Saints should walk it next year, they will splash the cash again this summer, Pardew brought very well last season.

Bar them there isnt too much we should be worried about.

Leeds never spent 3million plus on players.

Charlton and Sheff Wed worry me

Charlton and Sheff Wed worry me

Charlton have lost Shelvey, and Bailey may well disappear in the summer. Unless they replace those two they're perfectly beatable I reckon.

[Nomoreheroes]

Next season is very dependent upon who remains at the club. I think we all expect Paynter to go. So will it be Pericard and Austin up front? Ferry has made the right noises about staying - but will it happen? Ward seems to be ready to go, having had a good time. Darby will be gone too.

So who will we get from Man City? John Guidetti to replace Paynter? Abdi Ibrahim in midfield? Nils Zander at LB? Dunno who these people are, but they are all listed on Man City Academy pages. But if they (or other colleagues) join Swindon, will they want to play here or will they just be looking to move on quickly?

This year we seemed to have a good team spirit. I thought we were pretty one dimensional, which has been shown in our results. When things haven't been working, we haven't been able to change this around too much. Will we be the same next season - who knows?

Charlton and Sheff Wed worry me

Not me. They might have a lot of fans, but they are up 'shit-creek' financially. That's the reason Charlton sold their best player PRIOR to the play-offs.

Leeds never spent 3million plus on players.

No, but starting the season on -15 points they still made the play-offs, and would have walked the division without the points deduction.

Soton (having spent £3m), would have finished just about level with us without their -10 point start.

Will they be one of the teams at the top next season, almost certainly, should we crown them champions before the fixtures are out, NO WAY JOSE (or Dave)
