But what's that got to do with 'taking it as gospel' but not believing Corney? I don't believe he has ever come out and said he sold the sell on clause?

Not saying he won’t be , I’ve just not seen any evidence YET ? No, but any striker who is worth his salt will score goals with the chances we create at the minute. If not Davies/Holloway look pretty decent as a strikeforce tbh, theyre just not quite as good as Doyle/different players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longlostfan Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Anything is possible If I look at the play off teams- I'd include Shrews who are plummeting and Portsmouth who are flying- then the question is can we catch any off them? Over the last 5 Shrews 4 points difference to us -4 Blackburn 15 +7 Bradford 9 +1 Scunthorpe 12 +4 Charlton 5 -3 Portsmouth 12 +4 So we are only making ground on two. At current rates we'd catch them after 36 and 41 games. So we could be 'in the mix' We could get something from all of our next 5, they all look 'winnable'- maybe Plymouth the hardest given their current form. Shrews collapse must end sometime though. It all hinges on January for me. Keep or improve the squad- top half finish flirt with playoffs. But until January I'm just going to enjoy the ride.

OneSizeFitz Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Massively depends on which of the loan players we're able to keep. If we lose Bryan, Byrne and Doyle and don't replace them adequately I'd still be looking over my shoulder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play, I could have described their recent poor form in a better way.I'm starting to worry we will be the catalyst for their turnaround! Can you imagine the melt down on here if we picked up 4 points from 15 having been top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO 1. We should really make a push in the Checkatrade trouphy. If we can beat Leicesters kids (plus Iheanacho) I'd fancy us against anyone left in and a trip to Wembley would be a massive lift and great financially for the club. 2. If we can hold onto the loanees - Bryan and Byrne in particular, and maintain our form under Wellens - (22 points from 12 games), we can realistically finish with around 72 points....which might just squeeze into the play-offs....why not? 3. Don't be tempted to sell anyone! (unless we want to get rid!!) The current matchday squad needs to form the basis of our team for next season wherever we end up. Changed my mind.... Finish 17th!!!?

LaticsPete Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 In 2017 we played 48 league matches and averaged 1.31 points per game I expect that to increase to 1.5 for rest of season , giving us 60 pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometownclub Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I still think we can stay up, despite the current relegation form. If all the loanees go back, it could be very tight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboy Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Without loanees Id say just above relegation.The absence of Doyle is crucial.Not had a better striker for many years. A lot depends on the takeover and what the new owners bring to the table and I dont mean a turkey! We have a lot of deadwood in the squad and cant afford to carry passengers..Aclear out at the end of this season is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
