Next Season

[West Hoathly Seagull]

Play-offs for me ... QPR and Wigan will be hard to overcome not to mention the likes of Leicester and Forest

I think that's probably the best we can get. QPR if they don't lose too many players will boss the division I think, and Reading will probably make good use of their parachute payments. Wigan will struggle unless they hold on to Martinez in my view, and I would think their crowds will go down somewhat, meaning that the parachute payments won't benefit them that much. Leicester, Forest and Bolton will be right up there, and if Watford don't go up, so will they so long as Zola doesn't go to the Premiership. as THPP says, it will probably be a season of rebuilding for us. QPR are interested in Bridge, according to the Evening Standard last week.

If Palace don't go up this year there is no chance they'll reach the play-offs next year, unless they spend some of the £15m from Zaha.

They already have - £3m on Crippled Murray

Far too early to tell, too many variables still to be resolved

play-offs again I am afraid
but this time we will be ready

 

[Simster]

We are down right now but still in a better place than probably at least 17 or 18 other Championship clubs. Top 6 is realistic, top 2 will be the target. We will lose one or two excellent players, but so will other clubs.

All I will say is that our chances of a good season increase if the managerial situation is resolved nice and quickly.

I think we can make the playoffs, but should we keep the bulk of this squad I think we have a chance to make a run at the top two.
