Everything is going to be alright

[Harry's Game]

We only covered trading losses last season with significant player sales. It’s not difficult to see that being needed again at some point. Then there’s the other business……..

Makes you wonder how much Wilder may have had to downgrade his player wants list.

Yeah have to reduce the scouting budget so he only meets up with Hoyland in the tap room of the Bull and Drake twice a week.

Seriously, I’m not worried about the incoming season.

If our owners are struggling we have a squad with a market value of €106m.

Tanganga, Burrows, Seriki, Hamer, Peck, O’Hare, Cannon, Oné; all players that could be encashed at limited notice to raise sizeable funds if needed.

We have a basis of a very capable team even if we only supplant with loans. We can still say this even if we lose a couple of the above.

We have a competitive manager who is comfortable at the level and capable of building a strong, competitive team.

We have excellent home support and own all our own facilities.

The recent rumours suggest even if signings are minimal, they will be of a good quality.

When these two do come in (likely Donovan and Dobbin) it means we have coverage in midfield and attack already.

We’ll again be unfancied and below the radar and that suits us just fine.

We aren’t like Wednesday. We have assets and we have squad depth. I’m sure we can absorb any short term turbulence without it impacting the season.

Let’s look forward, eh? At least we don’t have to play against Argentina in the Championship!

I'm worried because optimism is whispering to me her siren song of front-foot, attacking football.
Look, she sings, Donovan and Dobbin bring balance and threat on the wings. There is a host of striking and creative options and a solid midfield.
Imagine, she teases, what a couple of quality defensive additions might bring.
After all, she adds, this may be CW's last season, so he has little choice but to really go for it.

*Optimism can go down as well as up. Please check your feet are on the floor before getting ahead of yourself.

This season I'd like to see more of One and less of Cannon.

Its the annual rallying call by the Wilderettes before we go over the hill and get mown down.

If that’s what you’ve taken from my inane ramblings then please go outside.

You're as deluded as I am! Love it!

Everything was going to be alright all last season too....

It was. Okay we didn't get promoted but we were in no danger of being relegated. After doing the double over the pigs we could just sit back and watch them crash and burn. Decent season.

No chance, remember Wilder told us it’s not his job to develop and coach young players. He’ll either have a good first game or two or be bombed out.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

As long as we don't have to do League One again.

Ever.

Why not?
We had some great away days in League One!

It'll be like last season without the relegation threat

We'll be in the middle third of the table and probably be quite high scoring

While I’m also not worried about being at the bottom end of the league season, I think we’re in for a very dull one again and may flirt with the final play off places if we perform like a functioning team.

I’m not sure where you think we have a squad with that market value though?

We have 2 or 3 players who are easily saleable, but only at the right price (Peck, Seriki and Hamer). Cooper’s a crock and Burrows did a post Covid Enda Stevens impression.

A lot of the dross we bought last season (along with Cannon) aren’t worth what we paid for them, and are on long contracts with high wages. To get rid of them means taking a hit on their contract and their sales value, hardly ideal.
