  1. But you can't discount those 4 teams when analysing how strong a league is. last season 5 of the top 6 positions were up for grabs realistically. This season its 2. That makes it inheritantly harder to get promoted.
  2. I think you're being unrealistic about how promotion sides are created in this division without parachute payments. You can't go out and buy "top end championship " players without spending an absolute fortune. You have to sign players with potential that have been discarded elsewhere for whatever reason and develop them in house and then develop them. It takes time. Honestly I don't know what you want us to do here. Do you want to spend beyond our means and try to desperately get up?
  3. The three teams that came down are stronger than the 3 that went up and the 3 teams that came up from league 1 are stronger than those that got relegated. Not sure where you're getting that the rest are weaker from. Some teams are worse, some teams are better than their own versions from last year but it's a fact that the 6 teams that came into the league are better than the 6 that left.
  4. We need a few but it's nowhere near as bad as it was last season imo. Going by 2 players for every position and assuming carrick wants to go back to 4231 with the right players, bold where we need a player - Gk - Dieng, glover LB- engel, bangura Cb - vdb, Clarke, fry, lenihan Rb - RB, ayling or Smith. Cm - Hackney, new cm, new cm, barlaser Lm - mcgree, silvera 10 - new cam, azaz Rm - Jones, forss St - ELL, new striker, coburn That's 3 starters and 2 to challenge to make what I think would be a competitive squad who can make play offs if thi
  5. We got a 16mil fee for one, we have one of the best prospects I've ever seen for us in vdb and dieng is an excellent keeper - those three are big successes. ELL, o'brien, engel and bangura all good players for this level with really good games and a few bad ones. Greenwood, silvera, Glover not very good. All in all not a bad window considering the amount of players we actually needed to get in. Next season is the real test where we need to add true quality in a couple of positions. If we don't progress next season, then there's an issue with the plan.
  6. We're currently 4 places behind after losing several premier league quality players in the summer and having the worst injury crisis in memory all while the league is far stronger than last season. We haven't regressed THAT much considering all the factors. I dontnthink anyone Was particularly expectant of us going up or finishing top 6 this season so sitting in 10th given the above is hardly the disaster you're always portraying it to be
  7. Gibson has continuously shown that he will spend big when he feels we have a real shot. Under Strachan, karanka, Monk and even pulis he spent more than the rest of this league after a couple of years of being frugle. Although obviously no guarantees, but I think there's a very high chance that that happens again this summer, especially if we're giving Carrick a new contract and investing in him long term.
  8. But you seen today that azaz simple does not fit the 523, he had to change the formation entirely to try to get him into the game. The 523 has got us 10 points from 12 so hard for me to say he's dropped any kind of a clanger making those changes, azaz has just become a victim of it due to not suiting any of the roles required.
  9. Yeah quite a few were saying it. Right enough they were the same people who thought we wouldn't get more than 5 or 6 mil for rogers
  10. Anyone stick reckon azaz is better than rogers btw?
  11. Greenwood was the one who knocked it down to silvera, silvera air shotted it
  12. And again. League 1 is too high for the lad tbh
  13. How the actual *** did that not go in, gutted
