grefstad 0 Posted January 1, 2016 Also, second half of the season is where suspensions and injuries kicks in, and we have a pretty threadbare squad, also mentioned by AN. If we have had 25p now, I would be pretty sure of survival. 20 is just a bit short, so it will likely be very nervy at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,656 Posted January 1, 2016 Ok i will debate with you o wise one. So we have a ''threadbare squad'' which means you will be able to discuss in depth where exactly it is threadbare ?Oh and just for the avoidance of doubt i agree with Morty and several others about your stinking attitude towards those who do not subscribe to your views.

Hairy Kenneth 0 Posted January 1, 2016 I certainly wouldn''t describe the squad as threadbare-we have as much strength in depth as I can remember in most positions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grefstad 0 Posted January 1, 2016 So, injury to a CB and a suspension to the other...that is a mini crisis for us at the moment. Espescially with Wisdom out injured as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grefstad 0 Posted January 1, 2016 An injury to Redmond while Jarvis is still out = mini crisis. No wingers as backup, and no pace.So, TIL1010, our squad is threadbare, to the minimum, in relation to the system we want to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant Holts Moustache 104 Posted January 1, 2016 Not having enough defenders in case of a hypothetical situation, Wisdom is back and available by the way, doesn''t equate to a threadbare squad. We could do with an extra centre back that we all agree on. How ever most positions have players of similar quality who can step in and this has been seen so far. A few other positions could do with some more competition but 3 signings should do it and give us real depth. I would then only sign others if players of real quality became available at a good price with the aim of moving squad players on. We have been competitive so far and we need to make a few incremental improvements rather than an overhaul of the squad. Even if the worst happens and we sign no one, there''s enough here to get another 20 points in the second half of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,140 Posted January 1, 2016 Safe then as we will need nowhere near 40 points to survive in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted January 1, 2016 "if you look hard enough"That''s the problem, feedthewolf. Some people look too hard, hoping to be fake offended so they can whinge.

hogesar 9,503 Posted January 1, 2016 Well, Taking into account the amount of points we have apparently dropped this first half of the season, with the so called easier fixtures at the start of the season (which by the way, wasn''t the case anyway, look how Palace and Leicester have done) we''ve still managed 20 points which is where we need to be. There''s nothing to suggest we won''t achieve exactly the second in the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grefstad 0 Posted January 1, 2016 Further down in the article, the word "threadbare" is mentioned. Admittedly, probably the journalists choice of word, but nevertheless AN says "so small", so my point is valid. He thinks the squad is very small.Choosing to make a dig at me for this is just childish, and makes you just look stupid. Your choice, not mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
