SecretDave Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I've put 11th to 15th, though I would expect us to be in the top half of the table. The main thing I want to see is for most of the high paid players that aren't doing anything for us to go and for us to sign some cheaper players with lots of potential and a lot to prove, a bit like some of the signings Nigel Clough used to make. I'd then like to see us go for promotion the following season. The main thing though is for us to give Gary Rowett the time he needs to sort our team out, and not just sack him if we lose a few games in a row.

Seth's left foot Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Top six. Even with a reduction of the squad the core players plus the return of Martin, Thorne and Forsyth will be more than enough to challenge at the top. GR uses different formations which will help stop teams sitting back against us, I've got a good feeling about next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Martin now decides he's OK with the idea of agreeing to move to Fulham. Pretty sure the new contract didn't effect the fact they have an agreed fee, it just made it more likely that Martin would decline the move.

He took a team in relegation form, low on confidence and turned them into a team chasing promotion without spending much money? Looks similar to me.

Looks similar to me. Here he's got to rebuild a side that has been twisted and mutilated with the ideas, signings and sales of four/five managers in eighteen months. He can go three or four ways in this rebuild. He'll have money to spend from generated player sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Not read the thread yet so hope I don't repeat anything already posted. I went play offs because listening to Rowett, I believe he sets high standards for himself. He's ambitious and I don't think he'll take too much nonsense. I think he'll be privately disappointed if we don't make them because I believe he knows he's got the tools to do the job. Now, whether he's allowed to... Hopefully between now and the end of the season he'll weigh up who's here for the long term and who's surplus to requirement and he's allowed to buy and sell for us to move onwards and upwards. I wish him luck with injuries, I think we've had our fair share this couple of seasons. COYR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO there's no way Rowatt will be here the whole season if we look like being 11th to 15th. Mel's 'trigger finger' won't allow it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottsRam77 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Makes me laugh/ despair we all sit here and to a man i bet we pretty much all agree that this side needs pulling apart and starting all over yet at the same time it appears the majority will be sitting at PP next season and if we're not in the play off mix then rowett will start feeling the same heat as previous, dare i say it theres a boo or two cos we're not smashing sides as a finely oiled cohesive unit or the football isnt as good as when mac was here first time round which will no doubt get banded about if things dont hit the ground running. mel gets itchy and here we go again ok perhaps over dramatising it, but u know what im saying good things comes to those that wait (Granted weve been waiting for what seems like ever but u get the jist lol,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd spent loads for our division, then Jim came in, trimmed it, spent a underwhelming amount of money on players we'd not heard of, and took us back to the big league!
