We're likely to be in a relegation battle again next season, with such a heavy fixture list early season we can't go into it with such little depth to the squad especially given at least one of our best players will be sold this summer. The last few weeks has exposed this lack of depth

It’s the punishment you get for trying to run your club without racking up massive debts.

We don't try to do that though as the club's owners still load paper debts on to it yet run it and a shoestring

Ahh yes the same Luton who are likely to finish outside the playoffs and in no better position than us this year

I think next season will be the first in MR's tenure where we regress and I'm interested to see how we handle it.

Well if they’ve got the cheek to hike up season ticket prices in the current financial climate, you’d hope there will be some investment wouldn’t you?? I won’t hold my breath though …..

Lose on Saturday and they could be 11th. I wouldn’t consider them firmly in there. Speaking of which, when did Millwall sneak up the table

Could just as well cite Huddersfield of all sides going nearly 20 games unbeaten

It will be a fight to stay up next season. Assets will be sold and further deplete an already paper thin squad. Loans will return to their parent clubs and spurn any offers we make. We'll try to replace them with players like Waghorn, Bidwell, Hillsner, Da Costa etc. Doesn't look good.

And nor were we last season, watch where they end up next season, when they lose players because they’re not willing to smash their budget. You might get an decent season once a blue moon, but once you do you need to smash your wage structure to keep your better players, or start again trying to build from the bottom.

I’d say it’s much more likely that we’re back in League One before we’re ever back in the Prem.

You probably don’t need owners jacking high interest loans on the club who don’t give the slightest toss how we perform

We absolutely need actual net investments next season

Otherwise we’ll get tired fetching the ball after goals go in

Millwall have hit form at the right time, I wouldn’t be surprised if they sneak into the playoffs.

Investment isn’t coming SISU will loan the club on high percentage returns as usual

To have a first 11 that improve on this season we need:

A CB + JCS
2 Wingbacks if we insist on playing 5 at the back, if not Kane/Dabo and Bidwell should suffice.
And a Striker/AM To replace Godden

On top of that we neee significant squad depth too.


It’s a lot of investment that SISU won’t stump up

The ideal scenario would be 2 Championship quality players per position with a few prospects from the Academy on top. As it is we have tied up more money in the League 1 core and offered expensive contracts to wing backs and an over the hill forward.

All while we still have Walker on the books who nobody will pay money for in the summer. The strategy was always reliant on Robins working wonders and even this season he’s been making a lot of errors by his own judgment.

If there’s any way of poaching Critchley from Blackpool I say do it

If Critchley were the replacement yes. Excellent coach working in a similarly tight situation.
