Re: Our team for the Championship next season

A change of shape, relegation and all of those players leaving will allow us to completely rebuild and move forward. Let's hope so.. we've been devoid of positivity for far too long.. promotion while we're still receiving parachute payments will be a must. Ideally, stringing together some results b...

Re: Our team for the Championship next season

Have you not been watching us play for 2 years? you want us to retain the same 4 boring non scoring strikers? I'd agree to an extent but it doesn't matter who the forwards are if most of the time they've got their backs to goal and the ball's sailing over their heads. I think we need a complete cha...

If Smith went in there with any remit other than build for the future and give it a go at staying up then he has not failed in the slightest.

Yesterday was a huge disappointment.
Brighton are one of the teams we should be taking points from and it just makes games against top ten teams so much more important.
We're fashionably slow starters so hopefully this season we get in the groove quickly and pick up some morale boosting points.
