The 3 teams coming down from the Championship (1 Viewer)

Otis · Apr 10, 2016

Now looking very likely to be the teams sitting in the bottom 3 as it now stands, Bolton, Charlton and MK Dons.

Which of those would we consider to be a threat in League One next season? Possibly all of them?

I would think Charlton and MK at least. Think with Northampton coming up and possibly Portsmouth too, next season is going to be very tough.

bolton will do a blackpool
The other 2 will be thereabouts

Yeah, agree. Pretty much my thinking too.

Certainly a year of consolidation for Bolton anyway and I wouldn't expect them to be much of a threat.

As i said in a previous thread this season was our best chance. The league next season will be harder and we wont have a top goal scorer like arma not to mention a brand new team made up of new players who will take time to gel if tm manages to turn the club a round

rupert_bear · Apr 10, 2016

Club to watch next season should they come up is Bristol Rovers currently fourth. I believe they have a new mega rich owner investor who had vowed to take them all the way to the top, but I wouldn't worry about it Otis old lad with our present set-up we will do will to emulate this season.

Well yep.

Learnt my lesson this year. Even if we are top at Christmas and 20 points clear, I will still be looking to see how many points we are ahead of the bottom 4.

Steve.B50 · Apr 10, 2016

We punched well above ourselves for first half of this season and blew our small chance of promotion.
Next season without some genuine investment we will be bottom 8 all season.

AFCCOVENTRY · Apr 10, 2016

I've also mentioned next season will be nearly impossible for us to fight for promotion. Better teams will be entering L1 next season.

Up the gas .
Not sure how much they have to invest tho

Burton will do a Yeovil
Villa will do a Wigan or Pompey

oucho · Apr 10, 2016

Charlton are a complete mess and probably won't be in a position to dominate. MK are an ok side but hardly likely to be super strong. Bolton have got new owners and if anything they'll be the threat.

I wouldn't say the league next season will be stronger than this.

As long as it's practical to go, the first fixture I'm looking for when they come out is Northampton away!

bawtryneal · Apr 10, 2016

Bolton may get 10 point deduction next season.

robbieray · Apr 10, 2016

All teams will be a threat

skybluetony176 · Apr 10, 2016

Charlton and MK should be pretty steady. Don't know with Bolton. With all the change happening there with new owners and what not it's hard to tell. I suspect they'll replicate us when we came down. Struggle and go through a few managers.

stevefloyd · Apr 10, 2016

Possible 3 things to happen next year... we will sign a 20+ goal scorer or 2 we will have a better season or again we will be shit...I am not sticking my neck out on that one

Macca · Apr 10, 2016

Reasonable question but again maybe shows an underlying arrogance here. Currently I'm considering whether anyone coming up from div 4 and whether they are dead certs to go back down

So am I

oucho · Apr 10, 2016

Bristol Rovers, Oxford, Plymouth and Portsmouth are all teams who get bigger crowds than many teams in this league, particularly those northern ones where we struggle like Scunn, Bury, Rochdale. Tough away trips up north and more competitive teams in the south.

Other clubs would find it hilarious reading some of the arrogant nonsense that gets posted on here.

standupforcity · Apr 10, 2016

This was always going to be a two year plan for Mogga. If we had gone up this season it would have been a bonus. I believe TM is already planning for next season, and is the right man in charge. Think we've all learn't a lot this year, and I shall certainly be keeping my expectations in check till nearer the end of the season, which I'm already looking forward to. But let's not forget where we were this time last year, not just on the pitch, but with general club morale and ambition in the club. A lot has happened, a lot of things that don't have to be thought about next season....so hopefully there'll be more focus on what is happening on the field and we can progress as TM believes we can.

Some berk at Wigan was criticising their crowds yesterday

RegTheDonk · Apr 10, 2016

Probably yeah but thing is, if its a two year plan, why have there been so many players either as loans or short term contracts? Is that down to him, or Venus or Anderson?

FWIW though, I too think we should stick with him for the time being - although we dropped like a stone and there's a plethora of theories why, for perhaps the first time in 40 years we actually looked like we would win promotion, or finish top 6 at least.

Surely thats reason enough to at least give the bloke a few months next season to get new players in, get some of the youngsters blooded and see what develops?

If we're not in the top 6 by then and looking like nothings improved, then its time to look at changes.

The only thing is that the new manager won't be able to do what he wants, so if we do it it has to be the whole season I think

sw88 · Apr 10, 2016

Bolton have a massive task on their hands after whats gone on off the field this season. Think it will take time before they kick start and will be less of a force than the other two.

johnwillomagic · Apr 10, 2016

This year was very weak and tbh I feared the worst next year......however I am happy with those three going down.
The league may be pretty weak again next year......Charlton and Bolton are clubs in crisis like Blackpool think they will
both struggle. MK Dons lost most of their star talent think current team/squad is on the decline they will have to do
a lot of rebuilding.

That being said we are on an appaling run of form and we will need to do a lot of rebuilding too. Happy with those
three teams coming down not many weaker sides in Championship than those 3! :claping hands:

Terry Gibson's perm · Apr 10, 2016

I have no idea what the teams coming down are like as I rarely watch the championship I guess it depends on the players they keep and sign, plus there is normally one or two surprise teams at the top and the play off teams can struggle the year after. If Walsall get in the play offs and fail and lose their better players they could well be scrapping at the bottom with us.

While I agree to part of that I cannot see what TM is doing to prepare us for next season seeing that a lot of players come to our club and are massively under performing, there seems no passion no motivation no self belief and worse of all we don't look like scoring any more which is hardly surprising considering we have pinned all our hopes on a teenagers head this season

sw88 · Apr 10, 2016

Keep forgetting Charlton are also in the mire! So they too will likely struggle unless they get a change of ownership before the season begins

oucho · Apr 10, 2016

Think the top of league one will be weaker next season but the middle and bottom half will be more competitive. I think it'll be a really open season where any of a dozen teams could be competing for playoffs until late on.

Macca · Apr 10, 2016

Hopefully we will be the best side in a shit league again

no_loyalty · Apr 12, 2016

I said to a mate sometime ago that Pompey will be back in the Championship before us, and its looking likely they will

Cos they're in league 2 at the minute obviously!

They do have much better support than CCFC mind you. None of this self indulgent crap that those who don't attend matches come out with.
