Playing it as it lies... (41 replies)

Looking at the squad we have, what are we realistically looking at this season? With a few key players missing a lot of pre season, a very different looking back 4, potentially a new spine of the team and attackers who although got the job done last season, at times lacked the cutting edge to finish teams off (albeit strengthened - but with players who either haven't played in England or the Championship) I think 8th is a kind realistic finish. It's a long old season, more intense than last year and we'll need squad depth (although CD isn't much for rotation) and our squad depth isn't 'thrilling'. To push play offs I think we need 2 players of real quality through the door as well as 2-3 improvements on our rotation options. Your thoughts.
