I still think we'd be way off . We would need goals and only Wright and Simms are our only real threats now so we would need a quality addition in that area . And as others have mentioned the back 4/5 lacks pace ,MvE aside . So we would need at the bare minimum 1-2 left backs and 2 centre backs

Think Rapha needs to be at a higher level . If he is going to be as good as the opinions of the staff suggest he needs fast tracking in a decent standard

Don't remember McNally having a great passing range ? Thought he was poor with the ball at his feet

And there aren't many teams in better form than us either

Rapha and Bassette I'd prefer to see at one of the promoted sides to the championship personally

Totally agree . If we get promoted I hope it is with the caveat that we build a side that is competitive but will be in place the following season . Going for broke will put us back years if/when we get relegated. I don't think King is a gambler in that respect

We did tend to lose a lot of games through the 80s

Sky blue tinted glasses

We would need 2 left backs , 2 centre backs ,a right back , 1/2 midfielders , 1 attacking midfielder, cover for both wings and at least one more striker . That would be just to be competitive! We would almost certainly be relegated even with those additions to the squad . My hope would be a...

Also under Lampard he's played in a more advanced role which suits his physical attributes more than just sitting deep

They will recoup a big chunk back on Delap and a couple of others

Probably only MvE and Thomas have started more games this season

I reckon Dabo could play CM at a push

So in answer to my previous question I'll take it as a resounding yes

Does talking shit come naturally to you ?

Has he progressed since being with us ? Seems to be used more as a left back/third centre back currently

There's a lot of presumption that Grimes could make the step up , just wonder why he hasn't previously? He has the game and the skillset , my doubt would be over his physicality same as Torp and Allen

The data always suggested the squad was fine

And in Sheaf and Gyokeres neither exploded out of the blocks and were instant hits . Look at the pelters Ayari got because he was so inexperienced

Who though ? As it's turned out MvE has been super resilient and when needed Latibeaudiare has been adequate cover . There's no guarantee that a young promising player is going to be better than an established championship player
