[Domo]

Let imagine franks gets some financial backing, where are we finishing

 

---

[peteCCFC]

400000 crosses and roughly 50 goals, boring, shit loads of defensive errors and 8 kits.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Looking forward to it already.

 

[jto123]

It will all depend on the summer, but I’ve gone for mid-table. I still feel up front and defensively we’re light. I have also have worries that Lampard only has one tactical approach up his sleeve and we’ll become predictable. All guess work of course.

 

[ccfc_ukr]

I thought this too, but wonder whether the tactics are limited due to the options in terms of personnel to actually change things up. If FL can bring in the players he wants and needs over the summer, we should in theory see changes in tactical approach etc

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

I think Frank is playing a system to what he has but its limiting what service our strikers get as teams sit in. Our strikers are good enough as they've done it in the past. I think you need a player that can take the ball on the half turn in tight spaces and beat a man which no one wanted to do in the last two games, that creates space in the box for the finishers. If the Spanish defender rumours are true thats a positive and Wilson is good enough until Dovin returns. The right side needs tinkering if Milan leaves so that means a starter and depth on that side. Confident that we can attract top players as they know we are close and have a great coaching setup. Always thought we would be a little short this time around after the start and turmoil of the Robins dismissal but things are looking really positive on and off the pitch. Sometimes you dont get what you deserve as pundits have stated, lets be patient its coming.

 

[AOM]

Impossible to predict right now, but my gut says 7th to 9th.
I think automatics will be out of reach again, but play offs should be the minimum target.

Just need to ensure we start quicker than we have in previous seasons. I don't think we'll have another winning run as consistent as we managed this year

 

[Captain Dart]

Far too early to say. Try again after pre season frendlies.

 

[Evo1883]

I'd like to think we will make the playoffs again next season but really need to see if we sign Peter crouch first to get onto the crosses

 

[Alex1987]

The ambitious progression is trying to get 3rd or 4th. I want to be playing Milwall/Bristol City in the 2nd leg of the play offs at home

 

[Cool Cory]

Keep hold of Sakamoto and Rudoni, sign a new striker, sign a new centre-back, and don't play Collins in goal then I'll say we're likely looking at promotion.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Interesting that some people think we’ll get worse

 

[shepardo01]

Can only base things currently on the current squad and I think as it is now we could challenge for the Autos. But as others have said we will have a better idea around mid July

No chance!!!!

What would we do if we lost Sakamoto’s 4 goals?!

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Playoffs not sure if we win them it depends how we do over the season and who we face in them

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

What would we do if we lost Sakamoto’s 4 goals?!

We’d struggle without his energy, work rate and tenacity

 

[steve101]

I think we have a good chance of playoffs, maybe even more depending on ins and outs. Just don't think the relegated teams are going to be so strong. How the promoted teams do with their big spending may level things up.

 

[Cool Cory]

What would we do if we lost Sakamoto’s 4 goals?!

He contributes way more to matches than just a few goals. His work ethic, creativity on the pitch, chances he creates. Look at how outstanding he was in the play-offs as an example of how class he can be. Judging a player solely on goals is a bad way to decide if a player is good

In isolation, he has had some stand out games, mostly the games where we’ve needed to defend more than average. Over the course of the season though, he definitively has not been a stand out player. Attacking wise, he scores low on successful dribbles, shots, touches in the box and goals - most things you want from a winger.

The value he adds is in the defensive side of the ball which is good, but is Sakamoto in the ‘must keep’ category? Absolutely not. His average match rating was 13th out of our squad. In fact, I’d go as far to say you’d sell him if someone offered £3.5+ million.

We’d struggle without his energy, work rate and tenacity

All valuable attributes for a solid role player, not a star player.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

We need to wait to see what the squad is for next season before we have a poll of where we'll finish.

And what everyone's else's squads are as well.
Rumours of a Saudi takeover at Millwall, no idea how much there is to it but that would be interesting!

Harsh if we end up there.

 

[Ian1779]

Torp will be a star next season.
A new striker to be first choice will score
20+ goals.
Rudoni will stay
We finish 2nd

 

[Warwickhunt]

400000 crosses and roughly 50 goals, boring, shit loads of defensive errors and 8 kits.

And giving Wrexham & Birmingham a home and away stuffing would do nicely . Need to watch Ipswich providing they keep their manager that is!

 

[jto123]

Harsh if we end up there.

I admit it’s negative and a lot of ifs. Just gut feeling at this point.

 

[long way home]

Give it 6 or 7 weeks and we will all get able to get a better idea of how we look. The clearing of the deck has already started so time for some fresh new blood.

 

[skyblue025]

I think FL needs to change the style slightly to allow our strikers to play more facing goal rather back to goal. Playing a 433 with 2 wingers you need to play it too the wings more often rather than playing off the central striker. Forrest do this very well which allows Wood to get into the box and score from so many crosses.
EMC doesn't mind taking a defender on, Tats less so and often plays it backwards unless he is in the oppositions final third.

Ipswich will be very strong I think.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Watching Charlton v Leyton and Leytons right back Galbraith looks very good, worth a punt!

Wall was very poorly set up by Orient for Charlton’s goal.

 

[clint van damme]

Wall was very poorly set up by Orient for Charlton’s goal.

Awful wasn't it, then compounded by a poor attempt at saving it.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Wonder what the odds are of teams in playoff finals with either Tyrese/Tyreece Campbell in their lineup losing the match after being 1-0 up.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Matty Godden and Nathan Jones are back in the Championship.

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Playoffs not sure if we win them it depends how we do over the season and who we face in them

….and what the results are in the matches.
