Not strong enough for the title?

Perkino · Mar 2, 2016

We seem to be the outside bet with most bookies as we are not as strong contenders as Burnley, Hull or Middlesborough.

However on NSC we genrally believe we have a decent squad with a battle for even a spot on the bench meaning players such as Lualua miss out.

My question is: Who from the other 3 title contenders would you welcome into our existing squad and subsequently who would they replace in order to improve us

Gray from Burnley

For me Heaton from Burnley to replace Ankergren

You serious?

Clayton to replace Crofts;

EDIT. Just re-read the original post

There could be an argument for him to replace almost any of our squad but the question was who would you bring in and who would they replace

Baldock or Hemed, lets be fair.

I like both Baldock and Hemed, defended them both on here and think they are a good partnership, but Andre Gray, come on, he's getting straight in, I think he'd get in half the Premier League teams the form he is in!

Diame for Stephens

The bookies odds largely reflect their liabilities. Face it, few outside of this region give us any chance and national bets reflect this. I think we have as good a chance as any of the other 3 given our injury returns and apparent form in front of goal.

We're still the unfashionable underdogs, but I'll stick with what we have and enjoy the ride.

Hamilton · Mar 2, 2016

Not sure I'd change anyone at this stage, but assuming we are starting the season over again, then you'd have to take Gray.

I think we're as strong as anyone to go up. TBH, I think any of the teams at the top will all struggle massively if they go into the top flight.

Great pic. I was listening to talkshit yesterday morning and they were saying that Brighton are still a good outside bet for title but that we were too lightweight when playing against the more physical teams.

I disagree. We have had teams in the past filled with midgets, pikeys dogs (all ribs and cock) and occasional ladies (butters) but not now. We've got some good old lumps like hemmed now. We don't get bossed easily anymore.

Why are you assuming the current top four are title contenders?

Anyone in the play offs has a chance

WhingForPresident · Mar 2, 2016

Andre Gray for Danny Holla. Seems fair.

Anyone who's in the play-offs will have missed out on being champions.

Marshy · Mar 2, 2016

Pretty much all the other top 5 have a better forward or forwards than we do, hence no one thinks we will be in the shake up come the end of season

Icy Gull · Mar 2, 2016

Grant Leadbitter, bossed the game for Middlesboro when they blew us away

And that's the big question........................ who do we want to replace? The whole team is playing so well together as a team at the moment - the blend and the balance seem just right - that I'm not sure I'd want to replace anyone, unless we were talking silly Championship Manager fantasy names, like Messi, Ibrahimovich or Lewandowski.

In the summer, yes - we'll have to replace two or three anyway, whose legs won't carry them through another season at this (or PL) level - and if we do go up, the squad will require some serious reinforcements. But just not now.
