We're worried about the likes of Gibson starting games but teams such as Cambridge, Port Vale etc will have about 5 or 6 Gibson equivalents in their team and won't have players in the mould of Scannell, Vaughan etc to call upon either. At the moment we're probably about 7-10th. Bring in a proper DM and we're a completely different team though. Not having to rely on Akpan would make us climb about 5 places in table. It’s agonisingly close. A couple out and a couple in and we could end up rolling teams over. As it stands I agree with you that it’s about a 7th place team that looks like it could be a bit hit and miss. All of this isn’t allowing for the Bowyer factor and whether or not he’s a manager that can squeeze a bit more out of a team than they’d ordinarily give though. I’d love to see us win a title in my lifetime, fuck O’Connor and Akpan off and this could arguably be our best chance ever. A week later from your post and it still feels a bit like the L2 equivalent of the side that just lost to Millwall - a few killer signings away from being an automatic promo side.

I'm hoping the mcburnie money gives us that bit extra. If Rupp was willing to bank roll us this season, and extra 300-400k could make his splurge into an actual investment for him and for us.

I mean he doesn't even actually need to put anymore in. No one has actually said we've used our budget up have they? they've just made out we're at our limit in terms of FFP.. Well £3m coming in this season raises our income which allows us to spend more

Bowyer gets cute and we could still pull this off. Ideally we drop some more deadweight but that’s looking less likely by the day.

I think we’ve been hoping that Akpan, Riley and OCunt would go so that we could bring more in. If that doesn’t happen as is looking more likely then we’ve got to hope that Stefan will bung a bit of the Mcburnie money in.
If we get more in then those three might be more likely to move on even if it’s just on loan when they see that they’ve fallen even further down the pecking order.
We are so close, we are literally replacing those three players with three quality additions away from being damn impressive.

Something is going to happen before the window shuts. Ideally we struggle to create many chances over the next 2 games (ideally still winning obviously) and Bowyer will be able to highlight what we're missing to Stefan and Adminfantastic

O'Cunty is a cunt, but reckon he'll be a decent L2 defender. Can't pass for shit but he can head a ball. I'm not so worried about getting shut of him.
Akpan is too lightweight and Riley is too lazy. Nobody will want either, and I don't see the point of paying them to play for someone else. Ah well.
I'm dangerously close to gomping about the rest of this team though.

Something. I've no idea what, I just think something will. Ricc might get laid, Bingley Bantams might come out and say they hate Edin. Hell Charlie could come to a game in one shirt rather than 6.. Fuck knows, but something will happen

It’s back baby!!!
This is as good as it gets. Yet to kick off, optimism abounds, I’m watching this on ifollow In 35 degrees of Spanish sunshine. The kid in you thinks this could be our year, it’s a magical game and there’s a wave of positive belief behind us.
In two hours, the reality of being held or beaten by plodding league 2 shit houses in front of a dire set of officials will bring it all back to reality.

No Akpan.....
Hopefully he’s off.
Looks a strange team to me does that.
