Haven't seen a match thread for tomorrow so I thought I'd get the ball rolling.
I would imagine we'll see some rotation again and hopefully another good performance. Maybe something like:
Wilson
KKH Thomas Bidwell Brau
Allen Andrews
Torp
Raphael Simms EMC
Although I wonder if we might play...
Really? We've lost one bench player and added three defenders. Defence being our weakest area last season - I don't see how that isn't stronger? We've also got a more experienced squad who have played together for a while.
I'm not saying we are miles better, but surely we're stronger than we were?
I think the financial risk involved in trying to assemble a team that can challenge for autos is too great. The expenditure needed to get our squad there would be significant and then if you miss out, yes you're in the playoffs, but they are very unpredictable.
I think aiming for 3rd - 6th is...
Maybe you opened this thread and, as I did, saw the first posts and thought he'd been injured. Realised after looking at the date that this was an old post from last year... Quite a relief after the performance today!
It looked that way to me. I feel like Saka gets fouled a lot without getting the calls from the ref. This is just the latest of many.
If Saka is allowed to run on he maybe gets on the ball coming across...
I didn't manage to catch much of the game yesterday but just watched the highlights. The third chance for Simms (where Rudoni puts the low ball in) looks like a foul on Sakamoto in the box?
Not sure we've had any official update have we? But I would imagine he is a little behind the others having not really had a full preseason. For that reason I'd be surprised to see him start (but happy if he does!)
SportsMole have done a poorly researched preview with match prediction. I'll be very surprised is both Eccles and Wright start the game!

I think this is spot on tbh. That said, I'm not sure the squad has been together long enough to go "stale" yet. We could definitely do with a couple of extras, and with that you'd hope to address the issues you raise.
There are a couple of players we would like to move on to allow one or two...
Question: Does the Championship (or Second Division, as it was) actually get better each year? Are the players, tactics, and overall standard genuinely improving season after season?
I ask because I've been reading a few threads about signings lately, and there seem to be two schools of...
