With the quality we have in our squad we should have a good season ahead of us. Anything beneath top 6 would be really disappointing and an underachievement. It’s really important to get off to a good start with such a young squad, so that they can shake off that losing mentality from last season. I think a lot also hinges this season on some of these midfielders stepping up to the plate - Mowatt, McGheehan, Moncur and Potts. If they don’t in the first month we need to replace. There is a gulf between the championship and league one and a number of these players are good enough for the championship. Come on you reds.
Agree Chef. Just hope they are strong mentally & physically It's going to be a long hard season I look at some of our team and really hope they are up to the battles ahead. Still think we need more quality in a couple of areas, but reckon that is being addressed. Dan ain't stupid!
The day when all our dreams are still intact...……….. Till 5pm, when hope disappears over the horizon with it's arse on fire!
Agree with your sentiments here Agree Chef. Pessimism recently rules at the Well for a reason albeit let’s not forget our bigger achievements. Away on my hols today so won’t be there but hoping for a great start to the season. Think we’ve got enough talent in the squad to do much better at this level.
replace with who transfer window shuts on 9th and any loan would be a player who s parent club thinks there not upto it
A lot depends on our strikers firing & not getting injured aswell - we don't have a great deal beyond Moore & Bradshaw.
Our success will depend on how many good crosses we can get into the box. Tom Bradshaw scored 9 league goals for us last season. One was a penalty and the other 8 were converted crosses. 2 of the 3 goals he scored in the cup were from converting a cross. He'll not create many goals for himself or others, but if we get it wide and put in decent crosses he'll score goals. 8 of Keiffer Moore's 13 goals at Rotherham were from converting crosses. A further three were sticking in the rebound off the keeper after waiting in the middle for a cross. We haven't got the most skilful forward line in League 1. We haven't got the fastest. They're not great at shooting or beating a man. There's much better in a 1 on 1 situation with the keeper. But get the ball into the box from out wide and you'll not get a better return from any other two forwards in this league.
