Lower half. I dont think we would go down. Lose MacGuiness , O Dowda , Robinson though and we could be in serious trouble.Quote:

Lets just get some wins though starting with Friday.
And there is the question of how we would replace outgoing players without being able to pay even a loan fee.Quote:

I can’t see top half, but we will finally get a chance to see what the kids can do because there won’t be anyone else except the likes of Simpson that nobody else wants.
Exeter are 11th in League 1. Exeter.Quote:

In what is potentially a more physical league where do you think our team and their lack of fight will finish.
You're a lot more optimistic than me. Trigger happy Vinny will probably sack Lamouchi if he gets us relegated too, maybe before that point.
We are 2 points behind Rotherham, and 5 clear of Wigan. Both sides got promoted automatically last season. I’d be amazed to know the last time a side finished in the bottom half of L1 after relegation. Must be Blackpool or Pompey? League One is garbage. McGuinness looked like Maldini in it by all accounts.Quote:

O'Dowda, Robinson, Kipre, Philogene all gone with the replacements being anybody's guess.
With such a poor side overall at present for me it is rapidly becoming a case of a marginal preference for next season to be one challenging for the League One play-offs rather than struggling along at the bottom of the Championship hoping there are three sides worse than us.
Lamouchi is out of contract. He wont be our manager if we go down. He probably wont if we stay up.Quote:
