Unfortunately, can't do that in the Championship.

The end of the Richardson era, the Robinson, Mcginnity years and SISU's tenure. I sat with a season ticket through it all except when we played outside Cov.

Classic short termism (see most politicians). Don't think King expects to be here in 5 years time.

Allen is fine. Just what we need an experienced midfielder with a good engine who is a solid reliable squad player. If his injury problems are behind him, he will make a major contribution this season. He was written off two seasons ago and came back as one of our best players. Last season was a...

Yeah, thought the same.

I would welcome a loan to buy possibly a guaranteed buy if we get promoted. Think we have been targeting an experienced (but not too old) centre back or holding midfielder, right back cover and an up-and-coming striker. Think we need Vik to be sold and as a bonus Gus to cover all bases. To quote...

The bookies get more right than they get wrong which is how they make money. However, think our odds are really good meaning I think we will do better than they predict. I have said before, think this is as difficult to get promoted as during any season. The "no hopers" from lat year QPR...

Think the Championship will be as difficult to be promoted from as in previous years. Lot of the mid table teams from last year have improved and the three relegated teams have the money. We need some luck, not too many serious injuries and no last minute loss of any of our top players. The...

You joke, but there are people on here who act as if that should happen.

That is the million dollar question. Clearly, only time will tell.

K on the punchbag? What are the chances of being sent off again?

Certainly never dull with King in charge. I imagine he is a hard taskmaster and will want promotion and better returns in the cups than earlier seasons when we did not take them seriously. Obviously, last season in the FA Cup was the exception. There have been enormous changes behind the...

Agreed, we needed more coaches for specifics but overall they have to be an improvement on the previous set up, as they are likely to cost more. I'm really sad Adi left (or more likely was removed), as I felt he was at the heart of all that was good with us for the last 7 years. Our success had...

Agreed, but like Sheaf and Palmer gets chances from outside the box and often misses the target, or shots end up easy saves for the goalie. O'Hare was the same before his injury. Allen had a better eye for goal before his injury problems last season. Jodi Jones was exactly the same, then he...

Think he was a different player when he came back from injury. A little slower and less inclined to tackle. Used to burst past players in the middle of the park and that was not so much in evidence. He did score more goals and looked more dangerous around the box. His work rate was getting back...

At present we do not know what went on, but this sounds more plausible than some of the bullying claims.

Was surprised to see Eccles had the second most minutes on the pitch last season. Need to improve his shooting from outside the box but that applies to most of our midfield. Oh and his corners.

Didn't blame him. Was surprised as I thought they had great players, but think many of them were some years ago. I have an open mind about the new coaches and we will see. Past success is not always a guarantee of continuing success any more than poor performance in the past means a coach will...

Wonder if this is Roma first team with the game being so close to the start of our season?

My bad, 54.
