If we can get Vlaar & Dunne back I'd put Clark in midfield, not the best option but he's played there before, need a bit of grit in the middle and Herd isn't the answer

Clark is a better Centre half, but Herd is a better midfielder, but they are both not good enough in any position.

I don't think we'll need 40 to stay up but can we accrue the number we will need? - I'd say 36-37 will be the cut-off point.

Let's go buy Lambert from Southampton for a start. Then, McCarthy from Wigwam. Finally, go and purchase Riise from Fulham. That should strengthen us and weaken some key rivals.

Good plan actually. Best ideas I've seen in a while.

Just done the BBC predictor and had us finishing 17th on 35 points.

Full credit for the optimism folks, but who do you honestly see us beating? Unless PL does some very shrewd business in Jan I can't see us getting 30 points let alone 40.


couldnt see us beating Liverpool, but we gave them a good hiding
thats the bueaty of football its not an exact science, its unpredictable

so instead of taking the last 3 games results and predicting we cant win another game, just take the previous 6 games before that and things look a bit rosier

i dont know where we will get the points we need from, but i'm not giving up that we cant get them

I think it will be a lot lower than 40 points this season.

Everyone always goes on about the quality in this league. But I don't really think there's a massive difference in class from about 7th place down towards the top 6/7 in the Championship.
