Thread: Potential

  1. #1

    Default Potential

    An honest answer needed.

    Could this team, eventually be a Championship promoted team?

    I just see if they are playing week in week out at a higher standard off football they can only improve. Confidence will be low, but they are young and will be determined to improve.

    We desperately need 2 full-backs.

    If we can find them, allowing Surman to play in midfield, then we might be outsiders for the play-offs

    Until we sort out our massive financial problems, the team's potential will be merely limited to survival IMHO.

    Myth IMO.

    If a player isn't good enough, he isn't good enough. It doesn't matter if he plays 4 or 40 games a season. Take Ormerod for example, played regularly for us in the Prem for the best part of 2 years, but was never really good enough. More recently BWP has played regularly in the 2 years since he arrived, but if anything seems to have got worse. Having joined from a Prem accademy, I'd say he was League 1 standard at best.

    In short, it is too early to say. Some of our players will improve and become decent CCC, even Prem standard players, others will fade into obscurity and be sold to League 1 or 2 club, assuming we don't become one ourselves.

    BWP has not played regularly at all and players just may need a season to gather the step up they have taken, look at Ronaldo, needed a season ( im not saying we have a ronaldo).I have found how much my own abilities have improved playing in a ****e local d league to Hampshire A league as a kid, they are all kids so will grow stronger,bigger and quicker.

    Last season BWP started 30 games and appeared as a sub in 14. The season before he started 19 and made 25 sub appearances. He has appeared in all but 13 league matches in the last 2 years.

    If that doesn't count as regular football I'm not sure what does.

    Ronaldo showed progression over the seasons he was at Man Utd. If anything BWP seems to have gotten worse. When he joined he looked sharp, full of energy and knew where the net was. Last season he managed less that 1 in 5, looked lazy and disinterested and hasn't scored since Burley left.
