Guess what folks? It's not going well for us and we may well end up in a relegation battle. But then again, we might not. Mid-table finish would be good, anything more a bonus.
It's not going to be much better for a while yet. The club is severely restricted in what it can do (legitimately!) to develop the squad, and this is not going to go away.
The Championship is tough, and it seems to me becomes harder each year - certainly to get out of, if not also to stay in.
As I've said many times before, the chance WAS there to get into the Premier League, in the early part of SL's ownership, but he chose not to follow the obvious route, which I believe will not be an option again, given the way of the world in general.
