    Championship next season

    Clearly we're going to be there, probably doing our annual swap with Barnsley. But do we continue to play the system that is so efficient and effective at this level? Or will we revert back to 4-5-1 with Smith up front on his own again?
    Personally I feel we should carry on with this system and have a right go at it. We've been naive and unadventurous in the past, giving teams way too much respect and being too over cautious. Wigan away last season for example.

    Neil Warnock showed that we can survive at that level with a very similar style to what we have now. Will PW be brave enough to go for it though?

    If we carry on playing as we have been doing then we have a great chance but ours isnt a big squad with no sign of any more signings atm. If we have long term injuries to key players we could be knacked.

    Problem with your theory hazza is Warnock played 451.
    Leon best or D ward were the lone striker. Derbyshire played down the left n G ward down the right. Frecks halford n Smallwood in the middle...
    451 can work but that sitting midfield is key.

    The other problem with Gaza's theory is that we have a lot of football to play before we know where we are going to be next season, so why don't we worry about which system suits which league better, when we know what league we will be in next season?

    Long way to go yet! We'll need some better luck with injuries and suspensions. Got a couple of days left to improve our chances by strengthening the squad before the deadline. Let's hope for some good news on that , unlike last year (except for Crooks signing)

    Hazza don’t put a spell on us. We’ve a long way to go yet. Only one thing that is certain, is that we won’t be going down... UTM

    Want to bet Brin? The FL might have their say on that. I believe they are due to launch an inquiry into RUFC next week. Rumour is the pies have been below the acceptable temperature for L1 and a points deduction is in the works
