Season 2019/20 Can We Finally Go Up?

[Duncan Mckenzie]

If we do recruit well and smartly in January I see no reason why we can't push for top two.

Are Preston and Leeds really any better than us? I am not convinced.

I am not convinced either and a look at the league table backs up that judgement.

It's there for the taking I hope we can grab it.

I reckon it's there for the taking too, I am not sure if we'll ever have a better chance.

Agreed. It's been a long time since I've looked at our side and thought "that's actually a promotion challenging team" as opposed to "that's got some promotion challenging players". 

I think a fully fit first 11 is as good a team as any other side in this league, and that our only real weakness is a lack of pace. However I think the squad as a whole lacks, and that it's only a playoff squad at best.

Just need said pace and that bit of extra depth, esp up front, to make us serious top 2 frontrunners.

I change my mind almost daily on whether we're a top 2 side. 

Pros are we have a deep squad, which has already been tested with injuries and we're still there. Harmony between club, manager  players and fans. A top goal scorer and a solid defence. A good mix of youth and experience.

Cons are we dont seem to be able to win a game by more than a single goal. We have no cover for Grabban, our older players are among our best and so if get further injuries we might struggle. 

On balance id say we're a top 4 side with the ability to improve by plugging gaps in the squad. West Brom look certs and Leeds wont trip up again. Play off winners for us this year.

Not convinced...
