I’d hope Bulut wouldn’t be making that decision as he will be gone.Quote:

Nice to hear that about his grandad too. Really hope Davies and Colwill make it for us, as well as Ashford, Joel Colwill etc.
I'd go along with that.Quote:

People will pick apart the team selection, whatever. But a formation something like this I'd like to see. Can argue the toss over the team selection as comb does :hehe:
I like it, I think Etete would benefit from having a partner up frontQuote:

Aside from formation I'd like to know what the general idea behind our attacking play is, as we don't get it forward quickly enough to be a counter attacking side, we don't pass it around well and we don't press opponents high up the pitch particularly either
Little and large! We will see.Quote:

I'd have loved to have seen Nkounkou as a wing back for us.Quote:

He has to return next season, it’s a free hit for us really, a new forward who’s already on our books.
Great kid, great player if City can't play him he'll find suitors.Quote:

I'll suggest that's why Colwills development hasn't progressed too?
In my opinion...
I think Colwill has developed massively this season, let’s not forget he had a lot of injuries. He has become a much more rounded player under Bulut.Quote:

9th goal of the season (I think) for Davies.

Decent finish. But you have to score from an opportunity like that. It was a gift.Quote:

I have no confidence in Bulut using him correctly (or at all).
I can see him being an option out wide under Bulut, maybe in the Grant role. Although I do think it would be more of a squad player.Quote:

Further to that, I’m assuming they didn’t scramble clear of the bottom at the end of the regular season?Quote:

Relegation Play-offs
The bottom four teams after the regular season play the Relegation Play-offs, a round-robin tournament in which they start with the full points obtained during the regular season. The teams finishing in third and fourth at the conclusion of the Relegation Play-offs will be relegated to the 2024–25 Challenger Pro League, the team finishing in second place has to play the winner of the Promotion Play-offs, with the winner of that match playing in the 2024–25 Belgian Pro League.

Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Regular season finishing position.[39]
Promotion/relegation play-offs
The promotion/relegation play-offs are contested by the teams finishing in positions 3 to 6 in the 2023–24 Challenger Pro League, who meet in a knockout tournament with both semi-finals and a final over two legs and the highest season finisher always having home advantage in the return leg. The winner of the final plays the 14th place finisher of the 2023–24 Belgian Pro League over two legs. The Belgian Pro League team has home advantage in the return leg, the winner of the barrage will play in the 2024–25 Belgian Pro League, the loser in the 2024–25 Challenger Pro League.
They came bottom-but-one.Quote:

Thanks, I actually understand that much more than I did Loramski's explanation :hehe:Quote:

They play Charleroi next Sunday and they did beat then 1-0 at home in February so they still have a chance of finishing first especially as
Charleroi only drew yesterday as well.
Difficult one perhaps?Quote:

I think Grant is a tidy player though so you can see why as it becomes bench warming time for Davies ?? Perhaps games is better at this stage of his life ?
Colwills wage would also be probitive for lower type of clubs
Sorry I meant for next season for Davies once Grant has gone. I think Davies going out on loan was 100% the right decision.Quote:
