We can never know but if we hadn't got promoted the team would have been decimated and we'd be rebuilding. I reckon playoffs would then be a big ask
Undoubtably the case - but the question the OP asked was 'Where would we finish with the current squad'. Whether or not we would actually have this squad available doesn't come into it.
The design I guess was to get some of the doom merchants to see actually - we aren't in a bad place. And in a better one than last season. Everyone knows where we are short but surely our current squad is better than the one that finished last season?

Get what you are saying but given the money spent in the Championship this season I, for one, would not like to guess how anyone is going to do!

I have yet to see Mr Gross play, I take it he has shown up well ?
Admittedly haven't seen loads of him, but everything I've seen (including watching him from last season) suggests he's the real deal.

Which is equally a fair comment. I don't see a side I'm as worried as I was with Newcastle mind. I think the gap between top 4 will be a bit closer this year. The bottom doesn't look quite as bad either.

Top 6 this season in the Champ if we had this squad. Alot of other teams are stronger now.
But following the FFP rules according to other threads from those in the know, following two years of collossal accounts losses, we would have had to have cut player wage costs severely this summer and made a big profit on selling a star player.
So the squad would have been broken up to an extent.

I'd be happy with the current squad in the championship and would expect top 6....but it's a poor side that will be relegated this season no doubt about that.
3 strikers
Ones injured a fair bit
Ones 33 and has no pace
One was 3rd choice last season
Central midfield is still rather week and are we goner have Lua lua and skalak playing really?
It's an ageing squad and was the oldest in the championship last season.....will be ridiculously tough but they'll do the best they can.
Recruitment has been very bad compared to others and time will tell but it's goner be painful sadly...
