The Championship next season....

Can't Wait For Next Season TBH

 

francis wont want to play championship although hes not even good enough for that standard

 

Providing we invest in some quality then we have a good chance. We will require a mix of youth and players in their mid to late 20s who have some experience.

 

'Francis won't want to play Championship' From what I've senn he don't want to play football at all.

 

Again, correct!

He's a pathetic waste of space! No wonder Wigan's fans were laughing at us for taking him off them! Sadly as he was Aidy's signing he feels he needs to play him!

We sell Springy and keep Francis...figure that out?!

 

Odd decision I know, but hey, I don't make the decisions. I just hope that when we go down, Francis becomes useful. I don't know why, perhaps I am deluding myself, but I just hope that's all.

 

Remember also Marlon to come back if Her Majesty lets him. Clarke Carlisle - who knows?

I also think that if Aidy does not spend during this window he should have a Summer War Chest of £15mill - £20 mill.

As Chewy says we need to get the right mix of players, positions, experience and age - and this has to be given time to blend. My forecast would be a slow start but fighting in the top 6 in second half of season.

 

Goalie - no, Lee is up to the task for sure. Winger - yes, a right wing to give Smith some competition - but who know, maybe Jarrett will come good?

Defenders - central, well hopefully Carlisle can contribute again. Left back - is that where Parkes plays? Otherwise we need someone in.

I think we can compete for a promotion next season. But it won't be a certainty. But as hasbeen argued here numerous times, we have so many very talented players at the club that I think the future looks very bright indeed. If we go down all I can say is: We'll be back.

 

A much more radical overhaul will be needed. Our current form suggests that we would really struggle with the personnel we have. We need to replace at least 4 or 5 of the current squad, Francis, Powell, Henderson for not being good enough, Foster and Mackay, because they can't carry on.

We need to seriously consider if the likes of Macca and Doyley can do it again. We need to ditch a heap of fringe players like Blizzard, Jarrett, Gill, Kamara and Seanla etc, unless they make a bit of progress quick.

Priskin, Marriapa, Bangura etc still need more time and can't be completely relied on. Parkes, Robinson and Campana may be future stars, but we'll need experience.

It only leaves a smallish core, around 8 or so who are definitely good enough to mount a championship challenge and who won't have motivation issues. We don't even know if Marlon is going to be a force yet. That's well short.

To mount a challenge we will need about 7-8 good new, very hungry players.

We can't completely give up now, so we need to get a loan or two in to put in a decent show, but we then need to be ready to spend big on the best of the lower 3 divisions.

 

I am definitely not expecting to go back up next season. I think we will do well to finish mid table while we rebuild the squad and consolidate.

 

cant wait for next year. we will have no probs, with the playoffs or more. ;D;D
we have a strong squad for fizzypop league;D;D

 

But only one doris, alas. I might agree if we had eleven of him





But then again, I might not.

 

the team and squad are stronger than last time round. ok young has gone. looking at the fizzy this year, i not too worried about next year.

bring on forest i say;D

 

Well I suggest you have a look at the squads of strugglers like Palace, Ipswich and Norwich, let alone the contenders and come back again when you've had time to sober up.

 

sober right now. bring it on. we have nothing to worry about;D

 

rookery 'orn, change your avatar, its saying 'we give up' which we have not.

we arent going to accept defeat till if definate

 

'Instant Idiot - Just Add Alcohol'

 

rather good

 

Coca Cola Champions 07/08

WATFORD FC

Record points.

Not good enough this season for premiership. Easily good enough for Championship next season where winning will keep all the moaning, negative Malaka's quiet if not happy.

How one can say we are not good enough for the championship top six with this squad is beyond me.

Will be a very enjoyable season in the fizzy pop - and the experience and lessons gained this season will bode well for 08/09 where we will not be in the same position as this time round.

U ORNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

;D;D

 

Positive -

Watford 5 Blackburn 2

FA Cup final

Watford 3 Chlelsea 0

Negative -

Watford 1 Blackburn 0

FA Cup final

Watford 1 Chlelsea 0

 

this will be my fourth relegation. a loyal fan sticks with the club though thick and thin.
;D;D

 

Well you certainly are thick, though I don't know whether you're thin or not.

 

Like 05, we have to forget the league and go on a cup run ;D

 

I can't even remember the relegations ( than god for old age and loss of memory - what years since 70/71 were we relegated?

losing to Walsall last game of season was the worstest day - relegated to old div 4 and the introduction of Hartlepool, Southport, Darlington and Workington to my life' travelling.

 

lol so true.

For some reason alot of people think going down is a good thing which is beyond me, relegation is a real kick in the teeth and it will take a huge effort to come straight back up.

 

Looks like francis wont be playing then

 

i meant your signature

 

we need a a good mix. quality and quantity is both need for squad depth, so we dont struggle like this season.
