    Do you agree,

    What changes would you make, if any.

    Then there's this,

    Personally, finishing 7th (if the second coming doesn't happen) means we have achieved 7th place, but not promotion.

    Articles will say we were in the top 6 places since November 2016, but the stats will say finished 7th; that sentence actually tells the whole story.

    Next season it will be back to square one and rebuilding, or filling in the holes left by some departing players, whoever they may be remains to be seen.

    Whatever your stance on what we have, or haven't achieved, next season we'll still be playing the team that finished 21st, twice, and they may well be claiming it was an achievement in avoiding relegation.

    If finishing 7th is such a great achievement, what does it actually mean realistically?

    What would your thoughts be?

    Only changes I'd make are

    Goalie - LeedsLover for his greater experience than other candidates in this role
    Striker - anyone but Wood as 6 of his 25 goals were from penalties and the rest don't count because they were a load of accidental tap ins
    Manager - LeedsLover, no explanation necessary, other than to remind everyone Monks not up to the job
    Owner - Cellino as he's done everything he promised (and more)

    With Cellino, can someone remind me what year we are into for his two year plan to promotion and when am I allowed to call him a failure. Thanks

    Surely he thinks he's a failure, he set the parameters?
