Day Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Out of interest, what are your minimum expectations you have for Paul Warne and the squad this season. Note the word minimum, anything less would be unacceptable. In an ideal world this topic would be created after the transfer window has closed, however if we're all honest, most will already have their minimum expectations for this club including the owner. Again, minimum. If you are saying automatic promotion, that would mean the play offs would be seen as a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) 4th place and whatever happens in the playoffs happens. ...but that's only really if there are some major unexpected hurdles that present themselves to us between now and then. Otherwise, 3rd place and winning the playoffs. Good reasons for a failure to get promoted will be accepted, excuses will not.

Jayram Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Warne has now got a transfer budget and therefore the ability to bring in his own players. He is supposed to be a League One promotion specialist so I expect promotion; there is no reason now we are competing on a level playing field that we shouldn’t achieve it. For me anything else in such a weak league would be failure. jimtastic56 and Tyler Durden 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warne himself said anything less than play offs would be a failure, and so it transpired. This season, with a full pre season to shape the squad as he wants, and some restrictions eased, the ambition surely has to be lifted to automatic promotion?

Foreveram Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Of course there are no guarantees but I think if you asked Warne privately he would be very disappointed with anything less than promotion. We are 9/4 favourites. I think anything less than top two would be disappointing but if we finish sixth, 12 points behind Wycombe and then beat them with a 96th minute penalty at Wembley I’ll be happy.

True. Just think as a fan, might have felt differently having gone through the summer, I for one never expected play offs, thought we would do well to be mid table.

Srg Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I think a genuine promotion challenge is it for me really. Sometimes there’s just other good teams too and you never know. But if we aren’t even sniffing autos come February/March then it will be a bit disappointing. Zag zig, Wolfie and Tamworthram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think as a fan, might have felt differently having gone through the summer, I for one never expected play offs, thought we would do well to be mid table. Weird summer, wasn't it? No club looked at one stage the likeliest outcome, then we're saved, DC does his walking interview, and the next thing is a steady stream of incoming high quality, but older than usual players, and hope was restored. I still thought mid table would be a perfectly acceptable result, and even when Warne took over unexpectedly, I saw no reason to change opinion. As the season progressed though, it became clearer, to me at least, just how incredibly poor the opposition at League One level truly is, shocking below the top 6, and we couldn't even finish in that. Now Warne gets to build his side, not make do with someone else's recruitment, and the difference in recruitment is stark. I've no idea if any of these incomings are decent players or not, but that's OK by me. Warne has employed them, I trust he knows what's needed, and I'm pretty confident he'll be successful come the end of the season. Which will be a top 2 finish.

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Not getting to playoffs again would be utter failure. If we got there and fate conspired against us then there is not much you can do about that. Must be aiming for top two though..

TomBustler1884 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I said Top 10 last season. To go from that to automatics is a big jump, so playoffs I think. I'd love to say promotion via playoffs, but there's no accounting for luck or fate in those so harsh to go for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I think of he doesn’t get promotion this season then Warne should face difficult discussions with Clowes about keeping his job. For me only way he keeps his job if we don’t get promoted is if we have a really strong season just miss out on autos and then lose in the playoffs, although losing in the playoffs would be a failure. We’re signing 10+ players in the summer, we are now undisputedly the biggest club in the league, we’re the favourites to win the league, last season was the joint worst league finish in our entire history and we’ve never been in this league for longer than 2 seasons. Promotion has to be the expectation. BPV, Colm, Foreveram and 6 others 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 To win more than 2 games against top half opposition would be a start… We have the biggest budget in the league. Absolutely no excuses to not finish at least in the top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
