if we do by miracle go up, i would settle for 3 signings

2 centre backs and a dcm. We have been struggling badly for four years (bar the Skippy season) in those positions and the volume of goals from catastrophic defending is hurting us a lot more than any attacking deficiencies.

There's a (slight) chance we have enough attacking skill to survive, but there is zero chance we have enough defensive skill to do it.

  - Great signing (NCFC) - APB, Mar 6, 15:15:32
  - not anymore. can't play enough games to trigger the clause i believe (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Mar 6, 13:39:00
  - Fair enough, Loz and Brom, I just recall a bit of a narrative that promo was the trigger (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 6, 12:19:15
    - Apparently not (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 6, 12:22:55
      - Apparently not (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 6, 12:36:01
  - I believe it is down to min number of appearances... (NCFC) - Brom, Mar 6, 11:26:23
  - Depends how many games he’s played I think (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Mar 6, 11:26:01
- I think we'd need more than that but i'd agree with your basic point. I can only think of (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 6, 09:54:18
  - Liv/ManUre game yesterday (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Mar 6, 11:53:23

  - Every promotion the prem gets stronger (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 10:01:09
    - Likely to have the $$$ this time (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 6, 10:36:53
      - How much you think we’d spend on transfers? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 11:12:27
        
        he's not a benefactor but he *is* an investor (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 6, 11:58:09
        
        In that case, what has really changed about "the model"? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 6, 11:23:17
  - We've outperformed our xG under Wagner (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 6, 09:57:45
    - I agree with that, we'd need a striker/attacking mid and a CDM. But (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 6, 10:23:41
    - Great reference to xG there 👍 (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 10:10:58
      - It's quite noticeable how many goals we've scored from distance lately (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 6, 10:14:17
        
        I think we lost on XG at Millwall (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 6, 13:19:44
        
        Heavily (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 6, 15:53:58
        
        To be fair, Pukki has not be playing and with Idah we play differently (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 6, 10:24:49
        
        Indeed - also adding long distance threat will pull defenders away (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Mar 6, 10:35:39
