So, Fulham, Bournemouth and now Notts Forest have reached the EPL. Which teams (if any) will survive?
I'm fairly certain that all 3 will end up in the bottom 5 along with Brentford and probably Brighton or Palace.
That could be the relegation hangover that we all feel. I think we were right to move on from Farke and though depressed by our PL performance, I'll wait until halfway through the season to judge Smith. The first indicator will be the players we get in to replace those leaving, especially the DM we so badly need and then a CM who can both score and assist goals.
I think we were right to move away from Farke and I am still happy with Smoths appointment. The reason for many people preferring Farke I believe is because they still had the good feeling off the championship games in their minds due to Darkes history at the club. Whereas Smtih has come into the club in the premier league and we haven’t seen those wins or performances, although he performed better than Farke at that level debatable. Hopefully Smith can guide the team to promotion and peoples feelings will change.
The club have announced a new strategic partnership, affiliate club, with Coritiba Football Club in Brazil
