It really is all what ifs, buts and maybes. One thing I do know there is now a huge gulf between the Championship and premier league, I would argue with anyone who tries to tell me otherwise.
Look at the three teams who are potentially coming up. Leeds definitely had a better team last season than this and they quite comfortably achieved promotion. Burnley, granted they improved their defence this season and it has paid dividends for them.
Sheff utd, this a team that like us, was getting beat nearly every week in the premier league stayed at the top of the Championship all season only falling away in the last three weeks. Even, with a
squad overhaul and hopefully losing a few big wage earners with our squad, we will comfortably finish in the top six next season.
We need to get a striker in who can score goals in the Championship. We will have Nelson and Choudary back from their loan spells. We have a capable goalie in Stolarcyz. Souttar is still a Leicester player.
Luton are the anomaly this season, but I genuinely believe our squad, albeit poor in the premier, is still good enough for the Championship.
Only thing that could potentially derail us is the efl who come down hard on us re point deductions etc.
