RE: The Push for Promotion - Act 2 Season 2015-16 - peiowl - 29-12-2015
Don't think you lot take me seriously so no smiling icons or dohs in this one.
Here's what I'd like to see happen in the Transfer window.
Sell: Nuhiu, Helan & Lachman. Maybe also Semi
Buy and/or loan: New striker (maybe Hooper), winger (cover for Wallace), half back & replacement defender for Lachman
Bring back Lavery & give him a try. If it doesn't work out, get rid by season's end.
Either sell Bus, put him out on loan or try him out as a squad player. But don't just keep him as a name, a man of mystery.
Keep Palmer. I still think he has something to offer.

1) Doubt we will sell anyone. Lachman has gone I hear. Helan, Nuhiu & Semedo are useful squad players
2) Hooper should have his loan extended for the season. We may bring in a wide player as well.
3) Lavery isn't good enough. He won't play for us again.
4) Bus is tricky because no-one knows how good he is.
5) Not even worth discussing. No-one would consider letting Palmer go.

I'll take you seriously with this as well.
Nuhiu - keep him until a better replacement is found. If we do not replace him then keep him and let him leave in the summer.
Helan - as above, although I would be happier keeping him as he does have more to offer as a sub.
Lachman - no idea what to think about him?? He plays with the development squad but no idea if he is any good or not.
Semi - Lopez is a better option but is only on loan to us. Melo is the unknown for this position. If we can get these two fit then I think they will provide the back up to Hutch that we need and Semi can leave.
Lavery - Leave him at Pompey for the full season, give him time to prove what he can do but I don't think he will play for us again.
Bus - agree with you.
Palmer - agree with you, Hunt is better at some aspects but is on loan, lets make sure we use the rest of this season to improve Palmer.

A major breakthrough. You took me seriously. I was. Thanks.
RE: The Push for Promotion - Act 2 Season 2015-16 - Thurnscoe_OWL - 30-12-2015
seriously though, whats a half back?
RE: The Push for Promotion - Act 2 Season 2015-16 - Imre varadi - 30-12-2015
i dont think this thread matters anymore we have fallen 4pts behind and will never catch up in a month of sundays !!!
RE: The Push for Promotion - Act 2 Season 2015-16 - St Charles Owl - 30-12-2015
Imre, have faith my son!! We are 4pts off the playoffs at the halfway stage of the season. We still have 66 points to play for so anything is still possible.
RE: The Push for Promotion - Act 2 Season 2015-16 - Statesideowl - 30-12-2015
If we don't find some consistency AND points fast then it's unlikely we'll ever catch the pack never mind get ahead of it.
Though if we aim for taking around two thirds of the 66 points available, 40-44 points would see us finish between 70pts and 80pts. Our highest in many years and possibly within the last playoff spot
RE: The Push for Promotion - Act 2 Season 2015-16 - St Charles Owl - 30-12-2015
I think 80 points would guarantee the play offs, in fact I think 75 would do. I'm sure I read something somewhere regarding how many points it usually takes, maybe someone could dig something up.
Ok, did some digging. Over the last 16 seasons the average points of the 6th place team is 73.5 points. The highest total was 78 by Ipswich last season and the lowest was 68 by Leicester in 2013.
So if we figure 75 should do it then we need a further 39 points or 1.77 points per game. That is definitely within our reach.
