Probably best not to gamble at all then. Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't justify it for reaching the play-offs then I don't think you can justify it for automatic promotion either. Derby are a prime example of what happens if you keep trying and failing for promotion, and I'm sure their intention was automatic too. Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,246 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Every club should be looking to improve their team at every opportunity. There’s not many teams in the world that don’t need to do that. We’ve got a lot of loans plugging gaps and plenty of areas of the first XI that need improving to make us an automatic promotion, challenging team. Link to post Share on other sites

I think that was a tongue in cheek comment to you saying “Goalkeeper, left back, right back, centre forward and attackingmidfield are all positions i would be prioritising.” Nobody thinks we need to buy a whole new team😆 Link to post Share on other sites
