Promotion this season?

[Jonezy17]

“The main [target] is to improve from last season,” he told Pundit Arena. “I want to want to try and play more games than what I did last year, and hopefully win a few more games than we did.

“That’s the main one, just being in the team, playing well, and hopefully, we can now look for promotion. That’s the main goal.” - Joel Bagan

Who knows, this season could be a disaster or we could surprise one or two.

I’d certainly rather hear positivity from the players and manager than not.

Can we be as good as Forest who were the worst team to go up last year?

They were good but no world beaters

Not impossible

But if Morison pulls it off with 12 new players and no money, it’d be quite something

Nice to see that you have so much faith in your team. No doubt you said the same in 2017/2018.

It's a bit early to have faith in the team - or to settle on any hope or expectation. We still don't know what the team will look like and we have new players in the squad that have never kicked a ball in a Cardiff shirt.

It is clear from the make up of the squad and from the performance yesterday (although just a friendly in the heat) that we have a weakness in central defence, and a lack of quality and numbers in the striker department. Goalkeepers and midfield look at least OK.

If we bring in an experienced centre back, a right winger with an end product, and two strikers that are an upgrade on Ikpeazu and Hugill, then I will have confidence we can operate in the top half of the table, and maybe threaten the play offs. If not - no.

Out of interest I had a look at the 2017-18 squad, and can see many reasons why we might not have had high hopes back then. I still remember Frederic Guonongbe's first game point blank miss. Certainly didn't have faith then.

Did notice that we loaned Rhys Healey to Torguay during that season. He's done all right since, so maybe some hope for Keiron Evans?

Re: Promotion this season?

He can't have 2 main goals. It's either being in the team or going for promotion.
I suspect it's the former.

There is a time for negativity. That's when things are happening, or have happened and it didn't go well. Then change is needed. But right now, we have a fresh start. Can we wait until we're at least 10 games in before we start with the death knell?

I’d give it ten minutes into the first game.

They had a decent run in the FA Cup beating Arsenal and Leicester and were unlucky against Liverpool. Not a bad season.

Re: Promotion this season?

forget about promotion. very very slim chance of that happening.
it's good the players have ambition though

Haha true, especially if we go our usual early goal down

Re: Promotion this season?

Can’t fault any player having ambition.

Not on this board - some always waiting to burst whatever bubble is being blown
