Needs a rich and brave chairman. Bloom took a big gamble with Stephens as well as big pay rises for Dunk and Knocky, presumably with a gentleman's agreement/release clause if we didn't go up. Hard to keep a player who has their head turned.
So you keep saying but that doesn't tell the whole story. Fulham drew too many games but the goals scored and difference are quite telling. Reading have mixed grinding out results with getting hammered. Fulham have been more gung-ho and paid with too many draws but have much better individual...
Once again, Al Habsi reinforces my view he isn't the top keeper some people seem to think he is. Very much in the "Worldies mixed with gaffes" bracket for me.
The annoying thing is, thanks to Bozza and his FanDuel offer, I am flicking between this and Stoke v Arsenal to keep an eye on Joe Allen. And neither is a good game.
