The Promotion Thread 17/18

Can't say I know a lot about the 2 others other than ched. Both played in league 2 last season and both got in the teams of the year so must be doing something right. That Holmes from charlton who we look like we may get sounds like by far charlton best player so he could be a decent capture. If ched can regain his form from before prison he will be worth the small outlay. To be honest I'd not really heard of a few who wilder signed last season either and they did well so I have every trust in wilder I also like the idea of getting business done at this very early stage. I still think we need a goalkeeper as a priority. A proven centre half would be on my list too. As for the goalscoring sharp,Evans plus this Holmes if we get him. I know all could fail but Sharp is a goalscorer, he literally does not a lot else and goalscorers rely on confidence, he should have bags of that so who knows maybe he can carry it on and get us 15+ goals.

Holmes would be a great signing, chips in with a fair few from out wide like Wallace does for Wednesday, both have cracking left foots.

I'd never heard of the Hartlepool winger but Stevens is very highly rated so we'll see how he gets on. Think yes you definitely need a keeper, don't think much of Moore, was amazed he was in the L1 TOTS.

He was in it because whichever lazy twats picked it just looked that we were top and chose that. He is better than what we had but still cost us around 7 goals or so. The hartlepool winger is only young so hopefully plenty more to come. It might sound stupid but I honestly feel Hanson will be a great asset for us in this league he brings a completely different outlet and could be a real threat coming off the bench, I have never seen anyone win so much in the air and hold a ball up as well as he does, he won't score at all but that's not what his job will be, Leon Clarke will be sold I reckon.

For us, if Bruce doesn't deliver in the first 8-10 weeks then he will be sacked. Our season will go 1 of 3 ways for me. 1.) Bruce will start the season really well and we will win the league or get second. 2.) Bruce will start the season poorly and get sacked, the new manager will be appointed and fire us up for a big push and get automatic promotion or playoffs at worst. 3.) Bruce will start the season poorly and a new manager will be appointed, they will struggle to get the side they want and will end up another mid-table finish.

I think one option has definitely vanished. Realistically, we're on to Option 3 now.

We neee to learn how to break teams down who come to Deepdale and sit in. If we can figure that out we'll have a chance.

We have the same problem... we were very lucky today.
