10 points off a play off spot at the end of 12/13,,,11 when you factor in GD. Amazing when you think with 10 minutes of the season to go we were going down! It can be a chasm in terms of league position.. but its also only a short run of improved results... as Boro and WBA have demonstrated . Just noticed, if Luton had won their game in hand , they'd currently be 3rd. Luton Town a club with 50% of our gates but a much higher playing budget. Grips my shit |

I agree with all you say but when you look at the squads Boro and WBA have, that was down to desperately poor managing rather than the ability of the squad. We have nothing like the strength or depth of squad to help us and I believe our manager is getting pretty close to the maximum out of the team at his disposal. If we stay up this season with the players we have available and the injuries we have suffered, it will rank as our greatest escape since the miracle of 1993. |

Grips my shit I heard on one of the podcasts that Dean had reduced the salary budget to around 8 million ahead of this season (it was 12 when Phil was in charge) and was one of the lowest in the division then! It's gone up a bit since due to Helik etc... I don't like Marky Mark much (seems thick as shite) but he's getting a tune out of a bunch of kids and some old timers on next to nothing budget wise. |

Grips my shit Ive no idea what their playing budget is or how it compares to us. I do know their adult season cards range from an early bird price of £430 to £500 though. www.lutontown.co.uk/news/2022/may/season-tickets/ |

Always the crazy league , but this season is even crazier . 3 points separate Sunderland in 4th place and Preston in 14th. Still got my top half bet going at 25/1 , and noticed 250/1 for a top 6 finish (wonder how many Forest fans had that last season) ? I invested a 10p wager on top 6 finish , so the odds could have dropped considerably 😁 Though your optimism is commendable, I wouldn’t bet a penny that we’ll finish in the top 18 this season, never mind the top 12 or top 6. I recall that you posted, perhaps in February, that we'd probably finish in the bottom half last season (- did you write 13th?). I agreed with you at the time, as I do this time, hoping, however, that you are wrong again. |

First of all fair play to mark Fotheringham on the last 2 games, not the man to lead us forward in my opinion but credit where credits due.
Points are on the board which is the main thing.
So with January upon us this could be the last roll of the dice for us to stay in the league. What do people think we need to stay up this season?
I think we need around 5 6 new players into the club with a few leaving. I've included matt Lowton in the list because I think that is a correct signing at this moment.
Ins
Matt Lowton, onel Hernandez, recall Koroma, Ashley Barnes,
Outs
Jon Russell
Luke mbete
Tino Anjorin
Danny Ward if someone bids.

Onel Hernandez? Absolutely no chance. Will almost certainly be on at least double what we'd be willing to pay. Also played most games for Norwich this season.
Same (albeit a few less games than Hernandez) applies to Ashley Barnes.
We have as much chance of signing either of those players as we do of signing Messi. In other words, if it was possible to have less than 0% chance of us signing them, then we'd have less than 0% chance of signing them. I can't help but laugh at those 2 suggestions

What we don’t need is someone starting a new thread every few days when they could just as easily use one already in existence
