Who do you want to come up/down to the third tier?

[E10rifle]

Cry me a river! Your making it out like your hard done by, rather than looking at the players have missed out on look at the squad warne has, Bradley, gayle, Collins, hourihane, Mendez, Wilson etc the list is endless of good quality players that all will be on a pretty penny.

You was moaning about warne earlier In The season, luckily the board didn’t think like you and have stuck by him.

KTF.

Amazing. “We’ve only spent 300k on one player” hahaha.

You’re the reason that away day is a farce. Any chance you’re going bust soon?

Nope, you have my apologies

I wasn't saying we were hard done by, either, ultimately just pointing out that we absolutely haven't 'spent our way to the title' - last season we were one of three clubs in the League that didn't spend any money on incoming transfers and we raised the 3rd most from outgoing transfers in the league. This season we paid a fee upfront for one player, Blackett Taylor.

Ironically, you've named six players and really hit on only one, maybe two, good player(s) in Mendez-Laing. Bradley has been largely poor for us. Hourihane, too, certainly this season and has since lost his place. Collins hasn't scored since January. Gayle played 3.5 games before getting injured. Wilson is decent, but inconsistent.

Hourihane, Gayle, Collins & Hourihane will also (likely) be released at the end of this season - amongst plenty others.

Warne has potentially achieved what he should've done. However, as I mentioned above, look at how the squad has been assembled. He banked on experienced Championship professionals on the downward trajectory of their career to have enough in the tank to perform at this level. I assume some of the approach could've been due to the EFL restrictions we were under but doesn't change the fact we have a significant rebuild ahead of us - promoted or not.

I only want birmingham to come down as would be a class away day for mansfield, nothing against the club which others seem to have.

Have you never played them?

We always had trouble with Birmingham, and their hooligan stewards in particular. Also, special mention for Trevor Francis blaming their poor results at Edgeley Park on the length of the grass

Yeah but not recently.

We did have a friendly called off on police advice due to potential trouble though, so could he a sign!

Huddersfield basically down if they lose to birmingham.

The one thing I've enjoyed about being in the lower league's is the lack of the hooligan element. As we go up, there's a danger of that creeping back in with the 'bigger city' clubs....

For 15yrs we've been able to have a chat and a pint or two with the away fans..it's been great, we're all basically the same. That's one of the reasons I'm personally a bit sceptical....there's no need for it in this day & age.

We used to have a 'Crew' called the Front Line that have more or less been disbanded because of where we were...nowadays we're all about the footie - lets hope it stays that way.

You'll be fine with us, obviously we aren't a big city club though lol.
Chatted with a few Oxford fans in the bar after the game, good atmosphere just as it should be.
Only one club we won't have in the bar, should that happen next week..

There's quite a few Clubs that always identify to me as 'lower league'...Exeter and ourselves being some of many.
I've followed Wxm for 50yrs, and there are always the perenial lower league clubs - aka yourselves, us, Stockport, etc...

We ALL have the ability/resourses to be up a bit higher...but when we get there, usually come down again after a year or two. It all boils down to financing.

We're obv in the spotlight now - but there are others who have also quietly splashed the cash - & at the end of the day, that's usually what it's all about - money!

It doesn't always guarantee success though....(hello Chelsea!)

Yes and between Plymouth or Birmingham to join them.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

Happy to have Huddersfield on a personal level, would rather Plymouth stay up even if Birmingham isn't anything too new for us (a few cup matches in recent years) either.

The final side coming up could be alreet (Big Joe's Donny or Crewe) or just a bag of dicks (MK/Crawley)
