Pards after Watford

mart77

Pards has said he's now happy with his squad and thinks we'll push on up the table. He said the squad was well balanced but would be onguard with regard to transfers. (personally i'd like to see another central defender). he reckons Ambrose is the best finisher at the club. On Waker he says we're seeking more opinions but his health comes first.

if Ambrose is the best finisher then heaven help us. I reckon he really had to push the boat out to land Gray and that could be the only transfer in unless someone like Thomas goes. I agree the squad is good enough but now they have to show it.

When i look at saturdays starting XI there was no Sodje, Gibbs (i know), Thatcher, Basey, Fortune, Powell, Reid, Semedo, Thomas, Racon, McLeod, Dickson and Gray. And thats off the top of my head. In my mind the squad is definitely good enough and is probably the best squad in the division.

There a hell of a back-up squad. Hopefully we won't need to dig that deep into it but we are bound to get some injuries and suspensions in the next few months.

Peter Beagrie (who i have alot of time for) stated on Saturday afterthe game that Charlton and WBA have the strongest squads in the league and that he sees us both going up

I can see us both going up them this year and us next though i reckon optimist in me says this but i have a nagging doubt still

WhenIwasLittleBoy

Maybe another keeper as back up, and a creative midfilder just in case something happens to Reidy

We will become stronger the futher into second half of the campaign and be promoted to the Prem as Champions (again). Trust in Pards.

I think we'll end up in the play offs and then its a lottery, just hope Palace are not our opponents.

nope, we're going to be in the play offs and we'll play palace in the final.....

Pards teams have always been much better in the second half on the season. FACT.

This one needs to be! Signs are good though.

After 30 games last season:

Sunderland were sitting in 9th place with 47 points
Birmingham were 2nd with 53 points
Derby were top with 59 points

IF we beat Stoke and Scunny we will have 50 points and be in the mix it seems. League seems about 2 points off from last season at the moment as WBA can get up to 57 points after 30 games.

as long as we are in the top six and within six points of the top spot with eight to go then that is when we need a good run in. I reckon we can do it.

If results go our way on monday and tuesday we can go 4th. We will go up.

Our achilles heal is when we go behind (17th place in the league) - we have only won once (sheff w?) and drawn 4 - picking up 7 points. Just for reference, Palace - top of this league have won 5 and drawn two games when they have fallen behind.

Funnily enough, when we have taken the lead, we are also 17th in league by losing a total of 14 points in the process (drew 4 and lost 2).

We also jointly have the longest winning streak of four games (with Watford and Burnley).
