With likes of James, Mills and Gillett a year more experienced and being able to use our full squad we could easily be (and need to be!) a lot stronger than last year. Last season started manager JP KD James - first game as RB Perry Svensson - soon injured and far from him of old Surman - first as LB Thomson all midfield just about teenagers on debuts Schneiderlin Gillet Holmes Lallana DMG This season could easily look like; manager Pardew KD Murty Perry Thomas Mills Lallana Gillett James Euell Rasiak John

didn't answer my own question! With Pardew and hopefully few signing we should be one of the better teams in the division, if we are we should be able to perform as the figures in bold.

any update?

did you know who he is?

attracting a manager to the third tier, on minus 10, who 3 years ago was minutes away from cup victory, took team to play off final in league 1 next year promoted form league 1 next year getting to CCC play off final, next year play off final next year victory in play off and promotion to premiership, next year cup final Mixed time at Reading. But WTF do you expect for us? Better record by a mile than WGS had, or NP had (or has tbf)

win all home and about 3 away, draw the rest and we are up! Really hard to predict and think the start is vital

different show now.

Now we know its def -10 points and we have AP as manager where do you think we can realistically aim for? Including -10 points, using last season's table as guide we would need 2.1 points per game for automatic promotion 1.8 points per game for play offs 1.5 points per game for mid table 1.3 points per game to avoid relegation

lost the line before he spoke about saints!

now

got two hours in car now so guess will stick with it!

time for a dream team for league 1!

they have said we are now debt free

possibly best manager in league 1, best keeper, best....

were there any? It was MLT he was with.

not heard it mentioned since??!! did no-one ring in!

phone in about Saints new manager. They were just saying why does such a good english manager need to drop to the third tier to get a job - the other presenter said it won't be a drop if he gets us into premiership quickly. asked saints fans to ring in after 7.30 to sat what they think. So do solent at 7.20 then talksport at 7.30!

Portsmouth?

probably more successful and experienced than WGS was when he joined us - and also came from relegated side - who knows!

this just doesn't add up - WGS was in M&S and played golf in the county he lives in - how can he possibly not be the new manager?

yes, clarified later - my impression was thought he was dodgy but not a hatred -doesn't really matter.

shall I start a Mourinhio thread?

it would be astonishing if one of them took the call to discuss going to a third tier club, with crowds in the low teens and minus 10 points!

you could start an arguement in empty room! Went to college and stayed in touch with Cov season ticket holder - can't say he is representative but he thought Strachen was not good appointment for us but could see quality but thought him mad! Not the hate in that thread. Get over you downer on Tisdale, doubt he will be here.

the charlton forum comments are even worse now!
