    As long as we beat the spanners, I couldn’t give a fook.

    Godden is not getting any younger. Leaburn now unfortunately has serious question marks over his injury record. Aneke will surely be gone, as will Ahadme. Kanu and Mbick can’t be anything other than fourth / fifth choice. We need to bring in two proven Championship strikers not punts. Midfield was completely bossed today and for me barring Coventry needs a total rebuild. Defence has been our strongest area but we’re stepping up in class and will need a lot more than looking for clean sheets next season. I think Jones knows what’s required but he’ll need the owners to step up too.

    105 points and promoted to the Premier League by the start of April.

    On Sky main event every week, due to our dazzling football.

    To do the double over Millwall. OK the last bit might be beer talk...

    GK and back 5 will all be fine. But in front of them I can’t see anyone who’s definitely good enough. Probably only Leaburn if he can get fit and stay fit 
    Coventry is definitely a good enough player to progress with us into the championship. Godden has the quality but will certainly need rest time

    It’s the midfield that needs significant upgrade .  Coventry might be ok - will be interesting to see if he’s can step up to the pace .  Berry, Docherty and Gilbert I don’t think are good enough .  Anderson will have a role to play but not a starter .  We will need another striker too

    West Ham unloading a few players. Aaron Creswell might be worth a look ?

    In what world are we able to sign established Premier League players?

    Jones will have a plan. I’m sure the budget will
    be better than Bowyer had to deal with. Next season will take care of itself later. Enjoy today.

    Mid30s, good call, BUT I am sure he will want to go somewhere where he'll be pretty much guaranteed a regular starting spot .. couldn't see him displacing Edwards

    50% of fixtures moved for TV, and higher amount to pay at the away turnstiles.

    Don't bother me, but I know it affects some on here

    I don’t think Creswell will get another PL gig. He’s probably going to get a season in The Championship and a London club might suit ….No ?

    Bigger expectations after the conversation we just had. We are going to give it a real go by the sounds of it. If my spirits weren’t high enough already…

    That wouldn’t be difficult - Bowyer was left with a far worse team than the one that won at Wembley

    Bowyer had the same problem Orient will have next season, too many loanees at the team's core

    Enjoy the big clubs visiting, and enjoy visiting big stadiums with proper away ends. Just stay up

    Not really- he only lost Bielik as we got Cullen back.   Losing Dijksteel, Bauer , Aribo and Vetokele made us worse and the signings bar Gallagher for half a season and Lockyer were pretty poor .

    One of the challenges for Bowyer was how late the signings were (a little too late in the case of Hemed). Jones will need players in early to be able to mould them.

    We would have been fine in 19/20, if it wasn't for the disastrous takeover, leading to the transfer embargo. As it was, we were 5 minutes from staying up.

    indeed, I should have typed 'departures', not 'loanees'

    Win the fucking thing as there’s no way we win 5-playoffs in a row…

    We're a team dangerously short of pace in midfield and attack (bar the obvious exceptions(. That's not going to be an easy (or cheap) issue to remedy but if we don't we're going to get ripped apart in the Championship
