    Can't see many clubs living with us next season. There might be the odd fluke result that'll go against us, but by in large, there'll only be one other auto promo place available. We'll go up as Champions again, but who do you reckon might get that second spot?

    I'll take Norwich or Wolves, with the one that doesn't make it joining Wigan, Derby and Ipswich in the playoffs. Forest wont feature again - FACT!

    Far too early to predict that I hear you cry!!.............but why not?

    Ole is the reason.

    He has it all to prove.

    We should have a group of players good enough to win the league. However he needs to get a reasonably settled team and style of play. Id like to see him bring in a experienced number 2.

    At the moment I think all we are lacking is a dominant central midfielder to give the ball to the likes of Daehli , Mutch , Noone , Whitts.

    Marshall leaves and of course we may need a keeper.

    Lack of height in the full back positions may be a problem.

    If we had Warnock or maybe even Holloway id be confident. Lets hope Ole is good enough.

    I think Wigan will be the team to beat.

    Swampy - I was expecting a few across by now, but so far only Sheepy and Hilts have flown in (albeit with an undeserving very good reply from Hilts <laugh>)

    I thought I'd get ready..........

    The eternal optimist Sparks.

    Of course I hope your right but I think the play offs would be an achievement.

    Still not convinced about Ole.

    Such optimism. Unless the defence is sorted out we will be lucky to finish in the playoffs. While OGS is buying strikers to add to those we already have in abundance, what about a couple of defenders, especially full backs and most importantly a coach who can organise the defence, as last season that part of the side was an absolute shambles.

    I agree you have to start a season with a positive mindset Sparkey but a few have raised the points I would make which are Ole has to sort out the back 4 and the other weakness is Ole himself. But good luck in your campaign - its a long slog.

    Bony - if that's a personal invite, no thanks mate - I'll wait until we're playing in the same division again........<whistle>

    If it was a club invite, we plan to do that the following season - if you're still there that is - wouldn't want to pass you on your way down.......<laugh>

    Relegation was a real bummer to accept when it happened, but the more I think about it, I'll take a chance to win something next season rather than struggle for survival as we were.

    I am also feeling confident Sparkey. I reckon we need 4 more players in, he must be done with the strikers, so another midfielder and 3 in defence.
    Cannot see Wolves competing as they are skint. For me the front runners next years will be Cardiff, Derby (hard to beat) Wigan and possibly Naaarwich. Its going to be exciting. I just hope we get our six fingered friends in one of the cups, specifically at a semi final stage.

    Take the financial point about Wolves isaw, but I rate Jackett as a manager that can get things organised and make it happen for them on a budget.

    Wigan certainly have a side capable of getting something next season, and the East Anglian battle wont all go Norwich's way - got a feeling McCarthy will get Ipswich into the playoffs
