What gives me a boost for next season...as Caulkin mentions the ones who didn't want to be here have left. The ones which are left have a good team spirit and fight for each other (and with each other lol).
At the end of last season and the begining of this one it all looked doomed but credit to Hughton, Calderwood, the staff and the players. We've proven we are a prem side (just about)
The issue with most teams that get promoted is the lack of prem experience in their squads. We go up with loads of prem experience.
Harper
Taylor
Enrique
Colo
Nolan
Smith
Guthrie
Jonas
Shola
Carroll
Add some more young hungry players, loan and maybe poach some of the canny players from some relegated sides and i think we'll be ok.
