Well we got away with it this year. Next season will we be so lucky.
It will be a lot harder with the teams coming down and the teams coming up. It's a complete rebuild from start to finish.
Congratulations to Burton Albion. A club that is well run and deserves success.

Champions next season Walton.

That would be great. To be honest I have really not enjoyed it this year. That's unlike me because usually I really get a buzz from the footie.

It's been difficult for us all mate. From the total dismantling of the playoff squad, to the ludicrous appointment of Saunders and his own staff, the ridiculous build up and balance of the new squad, the free fall towards the bottom four, the steady, but at times uninspiring way DW went about picking up vital points, (not a criticism btw) and seeing teams with a much lesser budget than ours achieve success.
Let's hope Danny gets at least a decent shot at a budget and hopefully all move on next season.
And the biggest hope of all is that events over the road can at last lead to the appointment of a new CEO, although that really is dreamland.

You could always try waiting to see who we do or don't sign before you make your mind up on how we will do next season.....









....and then predict our doom anyway!

Same with me.Seeing last seasons play-off squad dismembered and left with a much weaker one which didn't achieve any consistency.But the "plan" worked with our league status maintained.Something more exciting please for the next campaign.

Is this your annual relegation prediction?

Everyone agrees we were poor, in the main, this year but we weren't lucky. We finished 7 points above the relegation zone

[tomjoad]

Yes we were poor but won at Millwall Walsall and Barnsley.Came from behind to beat Vale destroyed Shrewsbury lost 4 0 at home to Swindon lost at Blackpool lost or surrended to the blunts, won at home to Bury when it mattered, no settled team no full backs or centre half most of the time three managers but still in the same league as Sheff you and a league above the stain. Funny old game aint it......oh well Keep the Faith..

Biggest hope for me, DA finds a buyer, and the new owner clears out Turner, Carson and Sutcliffe.

Sutcliffe casts a giant shadow I'm afraid.

[Misnomer]

I'll stick with the thread title 😃 there will be a full clear out but I have no faith in Wilson, and certainly not in DA.....prediction, yes, already...rock bottom! The teams coming up and those coming down will snap up the available players, regardless of Wilson's 'connections'; couple that with Danny's baffling negative tactics, and we have a doomsday scenario. Just like my Saunders' prediction....sacked before Christmas!

Bottom four:

Chesterfield
Bury
Shrewsbury
Bolton (it's possible)

So why?..what sway does he have?..it's ridiculous.

Don't know why anyone would give a red un for a statement of true fact ?

I'll make it better with a green.

There's no place for people like you on here. You set out a cogent argument and write sense!

Whilst I agree he needs to go, I don't see what effect he has on first team affairs that would cause any harm for next season?

[CFC91]

Leage will be a lot tougher next season, all the teams coming up are bigger teams who will be well equipped to challenge the top 10 in my eyes. Big summer ahead for the likes of us Bury, Shrewsbury, Fleetwood and Rochdale.

I think we will have a better season, but maybe not by much, unless DW makes some inspired signings. Danny is steady if unspectacular. One loan player can make a huge difference - e.g. Barnsley may get promoted to a significant degree on the back of one loanee, Hammill.

Hammill isnt on loan, Huddersfield released him at the beginning of September and Barnsley signed him shortly afterwards.
