I'm not writing it off. Only saying that unless things move soon we will be looking at a consolidation season with the squad we currently have

I can definitely see this season being a work in progress. New formation and all the new faces will take time to gel. I think we need to use the rest of our resources on a CB and RB to replace bogle if he leaves. Maybe these will be loan signings towards the end of the window

McBurnie coming back would be huge. I am concerned we have no fire power if Moore gets injured. I'm not convinced by Osula or Brewster at all so hopefully they come good.

To be honest there are a lot of players who are unknowns in terms of how they will fare in The Championship. If 2 or 3 of the youngsters prove to be worthy squad players then great but it's a big ask. The first 11 doesn't look far off but behind that we're really short. Hopefully we bring a few more in now.

I think Osula will be Ok, Brewster I'm the eternal optimist when it comes to him, just hope he can stay injury free and get a run of games.
I'm not sure the bench is weak if we get Burrows next week, I can't see us stopping there. I think a right back and Goalkeeper and center half will definitely arrive so at the moment the bench would look like.

Brooks
Shackleton
Trusty
Brewster
Osula/McBurnie/Moore
Davis (GK)
McCallum

Not too shabby.

Possibly Tom Davis as well if he ever gets fit.
 
Where has the rumour that McBurnie is going to sign on again come from?

I hope he does, to be clear.

I think Wilder is doing some great wheeling and dealing. He's been given fuck all, can't keep the players he wanted, lost 16 and he's got a first team together that will survive comfortably in The Championship. We are still miles off where we need to be in terms of having a successful season but we still have the loans to come and hopefully some money from selling Souza and Anel.

Think this is going to be a consolidation season though unless things start moving quickly

Lots of work to do admittedly, but if we can get a decent GK, replace Egan (Worrall maybe?) and sort RB, then as you rightly say we can pepper the squad with a few decent loans too.

Dozzell could be a useful addition and McB signing a new deal would bolster the attack nicely.

I think Osula is the biggest unknown of all. He hasn't scored a goal above L1 level but is far too good for the U23s. As I said, McBurnie coming back would be a huge boost.

My main issue at the moment is the defence. Egan will be a massive miss at this level. Trusty has so far been appalling, JLT is steady but nothing like Egan and who knows how Anel is going to turn up if he stays. We obviously don't have a right back of keeper either.

Pretty sure a keeper and a right back will arrive.

Isn't Osula a pacy mobile striker?

He is one - the question is just whether he's good enough to play next season. He has all the attributes and just needs more composure in front of goal.
I was actually thinking more of a Tony Agana type would be needed (tricky, creative, can feed off a big man and finish) but Osula may well be an option.

As long as we don’t go down I’ll be happy. A late push for the playoffs will be good for me.

Agree.
Don't lose to them. Finish above them and don't go down I would take now.
Mid-table would be OK as long as there is hope we can build.
Hovering around the play-offs means we win more than we lose - which would be great.
If we make all the signings we hope to then I would be more positive. But I don't want to go back up to the Premier League until we are in stronger shape throughout.

Yeah good point as long as we get more points against them than they do against us
 

Hopefully Traore & Bogle cash gets Burrows in, hopefully we'll have a full back who can cross a ball at last, haven't had a decent one neither side for awhile

100% agree. We need to sure up our defensive line. A Gk and a CB with some leadership. Our bank line is our weakest link at the minute.

Seems we are buying quality this season. Wilder 2.0, let the good times roll....again.

Wilder with guidance from Des Taylor. Think wilders made to many expensive mistakes to be trusted.

Freudian slip in post match when he said “without me, we’ll hopefully with me errr”. Don’t think his position is safe. That said, can’t see O’Neale (Tom Pages choice) from Wolves standing any chance unless we are back in PL next season.
 
George_Forman said:
I don't think Wilder would be making any of these signings without the backing of the new owners and Des. I think Des I'd pulling the majority of the strings right now. New tactics and signings etc

Agree, Analytics methods we will employ after tekkova coming into play not the old flip chat with minutes to end of window

Keeper
CB
McBurnie
Egan
RB

That would make 10 in total and I think that will be it provided
a) no more departures
b) we utilise one or two of the youngsters that continue to impress/improve

Think that’s about right, leave space for Jtw
