Cocu got a similar squad a 10th place finish. Wazza should aim for the same this coming season… Hopefully but it doesn't alter the fact most, if not all, other managers in the championship will not be trying th recruit under the same restrictions.

I can’t think of 6 players that we currently have that are good enough to challenge for 10th spot. I think 5 additions is a good shout TBH. I can easily think of 6 players good enough to challenge for 10th spot (IMO of course) Marshall/Roos, Byrne, Buchanan, Forsyth, Davis, Shinnie, CKR, Jozwiak, Lawrence, Bielik (sooner the better obviously) Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney has just had kids on the bench Really ? seem to remember 9 academy players on the pitch during the 90 mins in the away defeat at WBA that season. What cert first choice players did Cocu have that Wazza didn’t have last season? Bielik played more for Wazza too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But over the season Cocu had a squad full of senior players to choose from. Bennett, Malone, Jozefzoon, Marriott, Bogle, Holmes, Evans, Huddlestone, Dowell, Keogh, Lowe, Paterson. All of those players played a role that season. It's clear Cocu had better and more options to choose from which allowed him to take the team to a respectable 10th placed finish.

Cocu didn’t play Marriott did he and Bielik was injured wasn’t he? Thought Wazza had Bielik for more games last season. Jury out on Hudders and I really rate Byrne so not much to choose between him and Bogle. Not sure who etc etc are ?? Marriott played 37 games for Cocu that season, most from the bench but doenst alter the fact he had him to pick if he wanted. Just the strikers alone, Cocu had Rooney, Martin, Waghorn, Marriott, Bennett and Whittaker to pick from, Rooney currently has CKR…..

All those IMO are capable of challenging for 10th spot. Of course the 5 brought in are key too. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dodgy Scottish goalie with wrists like poppadoms, more relegations than wins in his career and responsible for the most embarrassing moment of the Euros and a winger who played for the worst Polish team I have seen in years….
