Trust me bowselecta Ipswich will be champions this season they will be the team “blowing league 1 out of water”.with teams like Wigan portsmouth Sunderland Sheffield Wednesday,I can’t for the life of me see us finishing in the top six we couldn’t do it last season and the squad this season is a lot weaker. Promotion % top six 20% 7th to 12th 80%
Apart from Wigan and Ipswich what makes you so confident about the others?
Portsmouth have a ton of trialists at the moment and have lost a good portion of their squad from last year; Sunderland still havent replaced someone who scored 30-goals last term - Sheffield Wednesday are in utter disarray.
Totally agree and I think Wigan are being massively exaggerated. They've made some eye catching signings but I also think a few of them are risks. Wyke had a great season but what about the two before that? Power and Cousins were scoffed at by many on here. I think they've only got about 5 defenders, one of them being Whatmough who suffers with regular injuries and two of whom are 20 or under. At the moment, I prefer our squad (appreciate both squads will strengthen).

Wigan did some very good business, very quickly, then seemed to stall a bit. They were ahead of us but we have caught up and probably over taken them. The expectation was they would carry on. They didn't. They might go again though.

Agreed, they'll need another 4/5. I can't see how our squad overtakes Ipswich (on paper), but I don't think we are behind anyone else really. It's all going to be about the final few squad places, with the loan market playing a huge part.
I didn’t say I was confident about shef weds Sunderland Portsmouth and Wigan but that’s my prediction of whose going to be in and around the top six.The one thing I am confident about is lpswich winning the league.I hoped l would be saying this about charlton ,but with 12 days to go and and a weaker squad,even the most loyal charlton fan even with rose coloured spectacles with this squad top six is out of the question,unless charlton spend money on2to3 class signings

Don't forget Wycombe and Rotherham. Not worried about Portsmouth, they'll be weaker than last year. Similarly not overly worried about Wigan yet. Or Sunderland.
Charlton keen on a loan deal for Arsenal striker Tyreece John-Jules who spent last season at Doncaster and scored against us at the Valley last season.

I don't regard myself to be particularly optimistic, not when it comes to Charlton anyway. I agree to an extent, I don't look at our squad and feel it screams top 6 potential. But then I look at Sunderland, Wigan, Pompey and Sheff Wed and I have exactly the same thoughts. You also say Ipswich will win the league and we need to spend money on 2/3 class signings but how much have Ipswich spent? I'd hazard a guess it's no more than 200/300k more than us. There are still plenty of quality free agents out there IMO.
To be honest I'm more worried by Wycombe then anyone else mentioned to be honest
Certainly don't disagree, they've kept most of their Championship squad. They were however fairly fortunate to get promoted the first time round so I do feel a strong end to the window for us and we can finish comfortably above them.

Mainly because we are playing them on the last game of the season. What is it now - 5 or 6 teams over the past 8 years ?
Tony Gallagher is a "big club" left back looking for a loan.
Josh Key to Sunderland isn't a done deal. Maybe we should send scouts to Tiverton next season. I am sure he would have been on a list but I doubt he was one of our top targets.

Source? It’s not from one of those Twitter accounts that make up rumours is it?

Never heard of him but he's a right back it seems so likely we talked to him before Matthews signed again, if at all.

He held talks with Charlton according to Tony Coton.
That was at a charity golf day at the worsley Marriott last week

Here, 'ave a word with your Bruv, will you?
By comparison, he's even's making Golfie sound happy.
Every season, there's always a dark horse.
