It does not seem to be a coincidence to me that 2 of the 3 relegated teams from last season's EPL are currently sitting 1 & 2 in this season's Championship.
I keep reading how wonderful the Championship is.
It is not, it is just a long hard slog with 20 teams holding mirror images of each other. :blue:
And 2 of last season's promoted teams are in the bottom 2 of the EPL
The gulf is widening k_c and I cannot see it narrowing any time soon either.Quote:

A promoted team needs to quickly acquire a 25 player squad of true EPL quality players. That's hard to do fresh out of the Championship.Quote:

Only way for a promoted team to survive season No 1 in the Premier league is to go totally Dyche. Dig in, solid defenceivly, close down, win free kicks and be strong at set pieces.
You will get nowt trying to play football, as proved last season
How many do you think we have Andingle, and who are they ?Quote:

Trafford , Esteve, Worrall , Humphreys, Cullen , Koleosho , Flemming , Hanibal, Foster & Ramsay are all players I'd be happy to have in a Premierleague "squad".
