How Will We Do In The Championship?

[oswald funkletrumpet]

For me,

we'll either boss it, or we will drop.

This. Or maybe midtable.

so we be at the top, bottom or perhaps the middle lol

[PeterWithesShin]

We simply need a spark.  Sounds easy!, It is.

Ron or Russell ?

This town ain't big enough for the both of them.

Without an overhaul of the playing squad what makes people think the atmosphere is going to be anything other than cliquey and toxic behind the  scenes still?

It will be.  There are some players that should never be near the first team scene again.  I think just removing them would give everyone a lift and change the atmosphere around the club.

Until we know what the playing staff is going to be there's no way of knowing if we'll progress in the Championship but one thing's for sure, if we keep the current 'core' we can all give up now. My dream would be for former players to return to the club that helped shape their careers and we'd blitz it.

Davis, Barry, Milner, Benteke, Cahill, Young, Albrighton, Gardner C (he'd be perfect for this division), Downing (nah scrub that one), Walker (Kyle not Ray), they owe us some of these. I'd have O'Neill as manager too given the division we'll be in but fear I'd be in the minority.

Nurse.... russon's escaped again

I'd rather have Barry Fry in charge than have that pube-headed judas twat back at the club.

What he said.

I have no idea what the future holds, but it's amazing what a bit of momentum can offer. If you get a player that finds his level or a striker that scores in three on the bounce, all of a sudden you don't look back.

That said, if it takes a season to build a team that's capable of winning the Championship and stopping in the Premier League for good, then so be it.

[MonsXI]

Impossible to say right now

[Quiet Lion]

We will have to get 90 odd points for automatic promotion. Probably 25+ wins

That is more wins than we have got in the last three seasons combined.

I can't even comprehend what it must be like to be winning every week after the last few years

I think sorting out the defensive side of things is the first priority.  Like Leicester have shown this year, if you can keep clean sheets on a regular basis you have every chance of winning games. 

[mrbrightside]

I think it all depends on who we can keep hold of, if we could have Ayew, Traore, Grealish, Gil and Gestede as attacking options then we should be able to out score most teams. A commanding centre mid, a Petrov, Fletcher, Osman type and a commanding centre half are essential too.

we will know more at the end of the summer transfer window

maybe get a charlie adam and peter crouch in for some experience , but we have no idea until we know who owns us and who manages us.

Crouch looked good yesterday. Adam is a good shout, just always seems to be Gabby like fitness wise. Maybe he is big boned

Yes, especially around his chins and neck
