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.

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.
