Too many injuries at the wrong time this season
The goalkeeper situation is the big kicker.
Play offs at least?
I'd be amazed if we challenge for automatics.
I think in and around the play offs is our ceiling and if we keep doing it at some point we'll go up through them.
Would things be so much different with Thomas, EMC, Torp and Dovin all being fit? I am not overly convinced whatever team we put out yesterday would have coped much better. We were just bullied and they wanted it more
Oh OK, Dave.absolutely stuck on? behave yourself
Theres 20 points between 6th and the relegation zone, the top 3 aside there’s not much between the rest.I wouldn’t know if we have a better squad.
Most teams are bunched up and there are all sorts of anomalies.
Sheffield Wednesday have the fifth best away record in the league and would be in the top 6 with a half decent away record.
Even Sheffield United lost to Plymouth and Oxford away and couldn’t beat Portsmouth.
Feels a bit like the L2 season when we were very inconsistent going into the playoffs. That loss at home to Lincoln leaving us to need a point on the final day when it should have been a lot easier. I can’t see us doing a 6-1 like we did to Cheltenham either..
I'm not so sureI think the league is going to be stronger next year personally. This year just has 3 good teams, a load of average then a load fighting going down.
We wouldn't have been able to shoot up the league like we did if it was a quality year.
Next year I don't expect much from Leicester but Ipswich and Saints will be really tough. We're going to lose some absolute dross going down and Blues with a couple other decent looking sides coming up, and if one of them is Wrexham they'll spend.
We shouldn't have our annual shit first third of a season next year so I expect us to contend anyway.

Ipswich could lose their manager and will lose a lot of players.
Wrexham can just spend as this league actually unlike the ones below it has proper PSR rules. Also their model has been to by aging players from the league above but that becomes much, much more expensive at this level. Also they have an awful manager who was looking they do spend a lot of money.
Saints depends on who they get in to manage. If it is Rohl as rumoured they could as you say be the side to catch.
I think it'll be weaker to be honest. Birmingham will add something for sure but I think Leicester and Soton won't be as strong as Leeds or Burnley this season. Leicester in particular.
Wrexham need to find 'their level' at some point so hopefully mid-lower table Championship is it.
However, forgetting about the rest of the division make up next season, hopefully our transfer business in the summer sees us tighten up defensively for next season.
What will be interesting is to see how we start the season. The last 3 seasons (maybe more) we've started the season poorly under Robins. Here's hoping we have a stronger start under Frank so we're not playing catch up from mid-season onwards.
Doesn't mean they'll be successful.Wrexham can spend what they like

Yeah it's worked so far but doesn't mean it'll work in the Championship.

I agree, it's very middling by Championship standards. I've always had a sneaky they'll just spend what they want though and hope to go up to avoid dealing with the consequences of it.Birmingham will have to dramatically improve their squad imo.
Not much point us qualifying at all if we can't handle pressure.
Losing Dovin has been a major blow.
You would have definitely been expecting him to save some of those goals that Collins let in. That would have changed everything.
We definitely need a new LB/LWB, a GK and a striker.
I would like to think something more against Hull tooI’d go as far as to say we’d be in the playoffs already. A point against Burnley and maybe three against Plymouth if we hadn’t given it away early.
Dasilva far from the problem last monthWe definitely need a new LB/LWB, a GK and a striker.

Genuine question, how could Leicester have lost their manager when they had already lost Rodgers and were bumbking along with a temo manager in Dean Smith I believe?To be honest I heard that theory about Burnley with Kompany, Leicester, both went straight back up.
It was also said about Sheffield United this year who have finished third comfortably and in all honesty probably should have finished in the top two except Wilder lost his head in recent games.
Agreed. He has stepped up but Bidwell knocking on now and generally over his tenure, da silva has been poor so we need a new one there, for me.Dasilva far from the problem last month
