It seems that we are the best footballing side in the Championship, have the best manager and are ready to make the leap to the Premiership. Tell us something we don't know!

IMO we should have got an automatic promotion spot this season with the style of football we play and the squad we have. However, I would say that whoever goes up this year will have an almighty struggle to stay in the Prem.

Having seen all home games and some away no-one has impressed me - certainly no team this year is as strong as Reading, Southampton & West Ham were last season. Should we go up we would need some serious spending to strengthen the squad, YET our style of footie would see us have an outside chance of survival.

On another note we would also need to expand the Amex to cope with our Prem plastics

Clearly spent months writing this article and probably supports Chelsea.... no mention of Bridge, Pig, or Bridcutt... oh well onwards we go...... Won't count for anything until we secure the playoffs. UTA

It's flattering and correct in it's simplest form but it's clear he's not seen a whole lot of us

Nice article. But not mentioning Bridcutt makes me think that he doesn't really know what he's talking about.

Our biggest challenge is getting out of this league. If we do go up and Poyet is around or he leaves and we keep the style of football cultivated over the past 3 1/2 seasons then we'll actually prosper in the Premiership. You do get more time to play up there and that will suit us.

Seems like the author doesn't totally know about us, to be honest - it's a flattering write-up but picking Hammond & Crofts and labelling them as giving stability without mentioning Bridcutt & PIG is a weird one.

Like my school reports: showed potential, but lacks application.

If you deserve to go up you finish 1st or 2nd.
Finishing 3rd to 6th you get a second bite, so we deserved to be 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th.
We deserve to go up if we stay in and win the play offs, we don't if we do not.
It's a points system you know.

Fascinating, truly mind expanding. Not sure how it's relevant though.

He's a smoggie so he's probably only seen us twice. I thought it was a reasonable write-up from someone who doesn't support us.
