Royals no closer to Griffin capture, Khiz not coming back

[floyd__streete]

I think we'll get him and next season we're going to really challenge. Exciting times if so.

On the other hand, if we don't get him and we're left with a Mills + Ivar/Pearce combination at the back and a continued dearth of quality centre-forwards then we'll most likely fail to do an awful lot better than we did before xmas last season.

Hunt coming back will be like a new signing. So I think we'll do well. Let's wait and see though.

One of my proper pet hates that.

Still, if we can hypnotise Long into thinking August is actually January he might get on the goals ...

I think we'll be there or thereabouts for the play offs as we usually are in this division. I don't think we've got enough upfront or at the back to be one of the major promotion contenders, but we should also be too good for a relegation battle (as we should have been last season).

all bases covered, well done.

Indeed.

Well, all bases covered in so far as I've considered the entire table. But then discounted the top 2 slots and the bottom 6 slots straight off the bat and implied we'll finish about 5th to 8th.

If you're saying I've made a prediction to cover every possible eventuality with a range of about 4 positions out of 24 then you're really quite strange. That's pretty specific given there's still a month to go until a ball even gets kicked.

Any chance the thread can be renamed?

Problem with our current centre backs is you can put mills down for at least 2 suspensions during the season, the jury is still out on Pearce and when ivar picks up an injury it's normally months rather than days. We don't want to be playing too many games with people "filling in".

Khiz would give us cover there and can also play right back or as a holding midfielder.

Ivar and Pearce together when Mills is suspended?

*shudder*

Dont worry, Ian Royal thinks this is the dream pairing.

Ivar's injured now. Someone could well be "filling in" for the first game of the season.

Guess we'll be ok then

The obsession some people on here seem to be developing with me is getting rather embarrassing and awkward.

When you have written three percent of all posts on the forum that tends to happen.

It's almost as embarrassing as the obsession you seem to have with completely missing the point.
