    Final Results and thoughts

    Bounemouth 1 Huddersfield 1 Blackpool 1 Swansea 0 Oldham 0 Barnsley 3 Chesterfield 2 Scum 2 Rotherham 2 Brentford 2 Worried that Barnsley seem to have rediscovered how to score. Concerns for Monday. Otherwise, realistically could we have asked for more? We are still in an excellent position...
  2. Realistic Targets...

    Now that we're almost half way through the Transfer Window and a striker short, There are only a few available targets that would realistically come to Roots Hall... Hayter - Would be my first choice, rejected Huddersfield as he doesn't want to go Northern so puts us in some kind of...
  3. Average number of points

    Firstly, this isn't a negative post - I honestly do not believe there is any team we should be scared of in this league and feel that we can continue the season as we've started it. However realistically at the start of the season many of us felt that our first aim would be to get...

    Finances

    As I seem to be way behind almost all of the other teams in my league, I've come to question my finances and the way I should be using them. As I'm a beginner really, I decided to err on the side of caution to start with and have maintained finances around the 0 level for the sake of prudence...

    Expectations this season

    It'll be interesting to go back to this thread at the end of the season (well for me anyway). Last season (my first) I finished 4th and made plenty of mistakes along the way. It's going to be a tough division this year with the team finishing 2nd fighting for the title with the team...

    Friday's Joke

    "A young boy went up to his father and asked him, "Dad, what is the difference between potentially and realistically?" The father though for a moment, then answered,"Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a milliondollars." Then ask your sister if she...
  7. Its Only A Game

    Closest Finish For Years

    After 45 matches played and one remaining each there are still 4 teams in with a chance of winning the title on the final day of the season. It is even possible that the leaders might not get promoted. Yet how little press coverage has there been of the run in to the season. Can you imagine how...
  8. So much better than I hoped!

    Just enjoying comparing the league table before our "crunch" four matches, versus the table now. We were: 4th, 6 points behind 3rd, 6 points behind Second and 9 points behind First. We were 4 points ahead of 8th, and almost every team in contention  had a game in hand on us. After playing...

    15 games left

    8 home, 7 away. Thinking realistically, let's say we win 5 at home and draw the other three then we pick up 2 away wins, 3 draws and lose 2. That's 30 points giving us a total of 79 which would not have been enough to get us into the auto spots last season. Suggests we'll need to...

    Acceptable Points Tally?.

    So with 5 games coming up in just 18 days against Chester (H), Wycombe (A), Mansfield (H), Rushden (H) and Kiddy (A), What points tally from those 5 games will you be realistically happy with?. Me personally, i think if we can get 12 points over this period id be pretty pleased.

    20 Year Season ticket

    Without resorting to a poll...... Leeds United have implemented a 20 year season ticket scheme, where based on todays prices x 20 years you can buy your season ticket. With conditions that you could change your seat each year if you wanted, That the ticket could be transferrable should you...

    Bit of perspective

    Dont get me wrong - Sad that Leon went and yes i think without his goals last season we would have struggled but at the end of the day he is a good player but not irreplacable. Same with Maher who I feel will go and will be a bigger loss. However we had Dudfield who for me is a more natural...

    Who would you buy?

    well? that's who Tilly's after who would you get...that is realistically feasible? Personally i'd go for a swoop on old boys, Damon Searle Andy Woodman and my real wish, fingers crossed..... Tommy Mooney. Playoffs? I'd be dissapointed with less than 100 points

Realistically this...

    Would our impressive form be good enough?

    As we begin to think about next season already and those glorious and not so glorious days ahead how do you think our fortunes will fair. We always seem to change the players. This time around i think we need to stick with the main nucleus of the squad. I think a LB, RB and striker will be...
