I hope you are right.
I think that the following is where your analysis falls down "and 2 or 3 match-winning key men in key positions are added".

The bookies not so optimistic, Bet 365 have us at 50/1 to win the league only Blackpool and Peterboro are bigger at 66/1.

According to my analysis, there will be 5 teams currently thinking that the Championship is there for the taking this year. We could be in the very next category (i.e. those looking to sneak that 6th position). Surely just 2 or 3 quality signings isn't too much to ask? T'would be rude not to :-)

The club freely admit, some need to be sold before more come in and I'll be honest, I'm not confident that anyone will be coming in for the Chuckle Brothers.

Let’s see what develops in the 7 weeks before the window shuts, before going all negative!

We will finish absolutely rock bottom with the current squad. Same players creating the same chances for the same strikers as last season when we were shit.
Seems Phil is banking on our pre Christmas form to do things on the cheap once again. It's a gamble that will not pay off.

We have improved that area considerably. If we get less injuries this time we should look more like our early form last season than our later. If CC can mould them into a team we have enough quality. One or two additions would be good but we are not far off.

Agreed - no idea why people last season and throughout the close season continue to harp on about lack of goalscorers and chances when no-one (except Blackburn) outside the top 10 scored more goals than us. Surely it’s obvious that our defensive structure (and that includes the defensive roles of the whole team) needs every ounce of our thought and energy devoting to it as we conceded more than any other team in the league and the manager looked as though he had no idea how to alter the shambolic way we played defensively, especially away from home.

The bottom line is if you buy Div1 players then you will end up in Div1. In division 1 aren't we?.....
