2025 mid-table thread

[Conker]

Clough really been amazing in the transfer market and getting value for money, I think it’s something other fans are not quite aware of. We’ve obviously decided to get some players at the tail end of the careers who demand high wages, like Flint, Gregory, Quinn but they’ve all worked out and been superb for us.

But you need to look at how shrewd we’ve been elsewhere, Louie Reed - 25k, DKD - 25k, Will Swan - 50k, we’ve made a million out of two of them and the other one is still with us and worth much much more now. Even Christy Pym, he cost us 15k due to a promotion clause Peterborough had when we signed him.

Our player of the season so far is Deji Oshilaja, someone let go from Burton!

So now we are in this situation where for the right player and deal we can spend some proper money, I think it’s likely a large chunk of the transfer profit made in the summer is available to Clough.

Very, very good, been out injured since that game and we’ve missed him massively, our best player. His first touch and leading the line is ridiculously good, almost feels like he’s to good for us to be honest but obv with his age and location it works out nicely.

He’s missed out 12 games and he’s on 7 goals. If we keep him fit he should hit 20.

Some player is Greggers.

Beautiful bunching of mediocrity right now, all on 37 points and with near zero goal differences.

Think this is going to be a mid-table campaign for the ages, so much to play for.

Seems unusual for so many sides to have such low GD's.

I think we're the epitome of mid-table at the minute.

I feel like we have blown this one too.

I feel like this should be Lincoln’s season, but a bunch of teams are still in it. I included the teams below 16th as well given the narrow spread of actual points, but realistically they’ve all got such shite GD that they’re not serious contenders.

There was one season a few years back where Lincoln were absolute draw kings, but they blew the mid-table title in the end - hopefully justice can be served this season.

We're currently 12 points off the playoffs and 13 off the relegation zone.
In 12th
So very midtable

I think Lincoln have won this trophy.

I think Lincoln have won this trophy.

I think so too. Many congratulations.

Fantastic news.

I think Lincoln have really shown some commitment to this - I think it was a couple of seasons ago where they seemed to be the ultimate draw specialists and were looking like certs for this, but I think they fucked it up by hitting a purple patch which ultimately ruined their GD.

The week we beat them recently, I remember how Skubala was banging the drum about how although it might seem their season was already over, there’s still plenty to play for.

Too fucking right.

Hail the mid-table champions.
