Could this team stay up in league one?
Alnwick
Kpakio
Lawlor
Fish
Bagan
Giles
J Colwill
R Colwill
Ashford
Davies
Salech
Apart from up front and in goals as no options at all there it's mainly home grown (fish also)
I wonder how much the wage bill would be?
I'm not sure it would stay up though?

Not a leader amongst them.

With a leader in cb and cm I wonder if they could stay up then?
Re: Could this team stay up in league one?
I hope CoD stays.. He's a leader. Did you notice that Alex Robinson was going to take the penalty yesterday.. However he ensured that Salech took it

I wondered if that was the normal tom foolery to protect the kicker etc like all sides seem to do now.

Yes.
That won't be anywhere near the team though.
Re: Could this team stay up in league one?
That team should be fine to stay up in League One. Rotherham had an absolutely revolting team in the Championship bar the goalkeeper who quickly got sold off, and still finished 16th this season (and yes, I know they beat us 5-2 in the final game that season, but we were absolutely on the beach at that point).
There's an outside chance we could go on a colossal downward spiral, but I do think it's unlikely, even given the culture around the club. I'll predict we'll finish in the upper-half but either miss out on playoffs or lose in them.
Re: Could this team stay up in league one?
Yes. But that midfield would get bent over an awful lot.

i beg your pardon..i know it's a lower league but they still have a modicum of decorum
Re: Could this team stay up in league one?
It’ll stay up but that won’t be the team.
My blind optimism tells me providing we keep the majority of this team we’ll kick arse in League one, go up automatically and then push on from there.
But people don’t want to hear that right now.

There will/should be a lot of movement in the team so we will have to see if the club has a plan or not.

Plan.🤣
Re: Could this team stay up in league one?
Alot depends on who their manager and coaches are.
Re: Could this team stay up in league one?
Yes but that won’t be the team
We’ll continue the off field stuff. The restructure will culminate in a change of manager for whatever is the cheapest option.
Well skirt around near the bottom and hopefully avoid relegation

Completely agree, people seem to think just because we've been shit in this league we'll be shit in League 1. That isn't how it works and the proof is in the pudding for the majority of clubs relegated from the championship to league 1. Many come back quickly and a lot more are at absolute worst comfortably clear of relegation.
If we struggle we will be a massive anomaly, but as you say people don't want to hear that, they are too in their feelings.
Re: Could this team stay up in league one?
we played a league one side last season, the team was
Alnwick
Kpakio McGuiness Bagan Giles
Rinomhota King
Conte Robertson Colwill
Kanga
with Fagan Walcott, Reindorf, Evans and Tanner coming off the bench.
we won comfortably, with Colwill pulling the strings.
admittedly that league one side would go on to be relegated by the end of the season, but it should at least be a bit encouraging about next season.

We need two or three decent centre-backs (they're all big in League One), and a two decent midfielders. In that five, there should be at least two born leaders. We've struggled all season without that type of player. The rest of the side should be okay.
