@NTFCjonny This squad would be mid table L2 most likely. Either way, we’re simply still going to be better and closer to other teams than we have been this year it’s not that difficult of a concept imo.
@Elliot_2008 Think you’re seriously underestimating the quality of league of 2 there, if you was to put this whole squad in league 2 as it is I genuinely think we would be in a similar relegation battle so nothing is guaranteed.
@NTFCjonny Even If we play the same style, we’re in a league against worst opposition, so we’ll be creating more chances.
More chances = more shots = more goals…
For a side that lacks as much creativity as we all say, double digits for the season is very good.
@Elliot_2008 Yeah better goal scoring ratio, not necessarily the best finisher though. What makes you think he’s going to get more chances in league 2? The only way he’s going to score more is the manager bringing a different style which helps his game.
@NTFCjonny 8 goals in 16 starts categorically makes him a better goal scorer than everyone else in the side. That’s fact, not an opinion. He’s only going to score more when we drop down a league and create more chances for him.
You’re mental if you don’t agree with that.
@Elliot_2008 Not even the best finisher we’ve had this season…
A serious change in style will be needed if he’s our number 9 next season, doesn’t suit the direct style one bit, can’t hold the ball up, isn’t a threat running in behind. Really not sure what you’re seeing in him
@NTFCjonny Top scorer for us this season with 8 in 16 starts.
Best finisher and header of the ball we’ve had here in a long time and I’d like to see anyone disagree.
Not sure how that’s not aiming high when we’re going to be dropping a league so his goals will only go up…
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 There’s certainly an argument there I guess for him being able to get them in that position but the downfall out ways that, especially when it’s been 2 seasons running
@NTFCjonny@TheValiants1876 Show’s that he can’t adapt once his sides are found out. Might be hanging fruit for some clubs looking for managers though as you can argue he got them there in the first place so he must be half decent
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 I would agree on that. I hope not, I have nothing against him but that Walsall collapse in both of the last 2 seasons is not very attractive
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 Love that in a manager, I’m sure it’s never easy to criticise players but if they’re not doing the job they need calling out. I think it’d be a missed chance for us not getting him in
@NTFCjonny@TheValiants1876 He’s another one that if the squad ain’t up to it, will call it out. He’s loved around these parts. He got us up a year earlier than we probably should have given that squad (on paper) was nowhere near top end L2 and the tragedy with his daughter that happened that season
@NTFCjonny You gave us monolithic amounts of stick last season, obviously we're gonna have some fun. Expect a few unluckeees on the last day of the season.
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 Yeah and I’d have had him lined up straight after the sacking of Nolan, get a chance to see what we have and could’ve galvanised them enough to have a slim chance of staying up at that time
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 Yeah Clarke is the one I want us to go for, purely for what you’ve just said in that he has a lot of similarities to Brady
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 Given how he’s already done for you guys I would imagine you’ll be in for a decent season, I’d be surprised if you’re not in the top 3 come next May. Knows what it takes to get out of that league, finished 4th on GD and then 3rd with us
@NTFCjonny@TheValiants1876 I could speak all day about what went wrong with Moore, but on paper it would be an odd fit. I’m interested to see how Jon does next season as I would imagine we will have a sizeable budget for league 2. We are much better to watch under him than we were from September - December
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 Yeah I can’t see us putting much money in if I’m honest. Talks of Ryan Lowe but that doesn’t fill me with huge confidence either. That’s what I really loved about Brady, he knew how to get the best out of players
@NTFCjonny@TheValiants1876 I think Moore would be a very strange appointment for you lot unless you’re going to throw a fair amount of money at it next season. He’s not particularly renowned for getting a lot out of a little. I think there is better fits for you lot than Moore
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 Darren Moore is on the list of candidates that could take over for us, his football must’ve been pretty decent based on that? Yeah this is our 3rd season in league one, looks like 3rd time unlucky. Burton always seems to find a way of getting themselves safe
@NTFCjonny@TheValiants1876 It’s odd because for a large part of our losing run at the start of the season it’s the best football I’ve seen us play in years, we just couldn’t score. I thought you’d get out of it tbh, seems like you and Burton always find a way to stay up against what the bookies odds are
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 Yeah it’s almost like our seasons have been flipped, you had a terrible start and we’ve been terrible since Christmas. We are so bad and I have no idea where it went wrong, first half of the season I thought we would be comfortably staying up, how wrong was I
@NTFCjonny@TheValiants1876 Oh we are dead and buried and have been for a long time but we’ve looked relatively okay for the last month tbh baring the odd game and boiled a few clubs piss along the way. Must say the game against yous last month I was shocked how bad you were
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 Yeah the fixture pile up mixed with the a brilliant fa cup game might be just too much in terms of staying up but I can’t see us winning another game all season. Rotten is putting it nicely unfortunately😂
@NTFCjonny@TheValiants1876 Issue is we are playing 3/4 games in a week most weeks until the end of the season so I can’t see too many more wins but you never know. You lot are in a rotten run of form
@AlexManning14@TheValiants1876 I can assure you that you won’t finish bottom. We are absolutely woeful, Brady has clearly got you fighting, we haven’t even got that😂
