Mike Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I can. I was going to say. It's not a coincidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Twisting it a bit though, Bassong was first choice for a lot of the season. Got him that big money move to Spurs. Even more parallels really. Colo is back to that level, Taylor is even worse and Mbemba has taken on the role of Bassong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 http://i.imgur.com/C5Gn2tH.png Reset. I've voted play-offs. Can't make up my mind whether or not we'll do what we did last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Think people may be in for a little shock as we could be in this divisions for a few years unless extreme chges are made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I fear a further drop in all honesty. Total collapse is not too fanciful a notion. They are that clueless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 If we manage to spend a reasonable amount of money, and keep Rafe we should get out of the league comfortably, we let Rafa and most of our squad go and not invest then we will be down there a while.

Yorkie Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 We'll probably be there or thereabouts. Joey Barton's team has just walked the division, after all. Don't think we'll win it. We won't have anyone with the same sort of talent as Colo, Enrique, Jonas, Routledge and Carroll this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Will be lucky to go straight back up, i predict at least 3 seasons down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Tbf, there was no indication when we went down last time that those would step up. Coloccini had been written off, Nolan was, no one had a clue about Carroll yet other than potential. There may be 2-3 in this squad who might surprise us similarly.

TheHoob Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 The quality in the Championship is terrible, look at the lineups of the teams which have been promoted. We should be able to keep enough players and recruit well enough to come back up first time again but I don't trust these chumps to do anything right.

jimmymag Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 There's no one with the leadership qualities of Nolan, in particular, and Barton in this squad. Can't see us getting anywhere near the play offs with the lot we'll have left after the inevitable rat departures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I think we'll struggle to replicate anything we did last time. I don't think we'll bounce back up immediately, could be a few years before we are back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 At least we won't be able to lose any local derby games for a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 This year's playoffs is something to watch out for as our potential main rivals are in it. One of Derby and Hull will be with us. I'd say Brighton should go up because of our poor record there. If they don't go up, wish we could try and get Hughton off them or he leaves there and rejoins us. Has the experience now and would probably have us up there rather than mid table or relegation fodder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Can't get championship games on tv here, it's gonna suck Hopefully we can keep: Krul, Darlow, Mbemba, Anita, Mbabu and Lascelles for the GK / defence. Sissoko, Townsend, SDJ, Aarons, Thauvin for midfield Mitro, Perez, Armstrong for the attack The rest can go jump off a cliff for all I care. Would leave us needing a couple of defenders, a centre mid and a striker at the minimum. Preferably another winger too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see us getting anywhere near the play offs with the lot we'll have left after the inevitable rat departures. Again, we don't know this do we? Nolan did nothing in particular when we went down, Barton's main contribution to the last relegation fight was that cowardly red card at Liverpool (which he seems to make a habit of when things get tough, seem to remember 2 red cards in his QPR days when they're struggling to survive?). No one expected Enrique, Coloccini or Jonas to step up the way they did when we dropped. There might be similar surprises this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Rafa, give Sissoko the captaincy with Lascelles as vice captain and maybe there'll be a few who'll hang around. Long shot maybe but at least worth trying to get him to stay.
