All that matters is we weren't good enough /not ready to be in PL.....Hudds being in the final is proof of that. All the opinions about how Carlos set us up are opinions...everyone's got their own.
DCs plan to reach PL by 150th includes a third year of CC at the helm and that's good enough for me. Reckon CC will concentrate on autos next season.

Importantly for us, the fortunes of Brighton/Reading or Hudds in PL (clubs which weren't recently relegated from PL) will give us a good idea of how a Championship-financed teams copes.
We DID indeed have the talent on the pitch..Just underperformed.. .We failed to bring the best out of these forwards, (regarded as the best bunch in the division.) by not playing to their strengths,...Hudds deserved it over the two legs yes... But you can't help but feel that we were lacking at times, despite our points haul over the season, and skin of the teeth playoff exit....If Rhodes and Winnall aren't scoring, then they're either not playing, or not getting the service. This ultimately leads to a lack of confidence, ....Whatever people's views on formations etc..we simply haven't been able to utilise our vast attacking talent for various reasons, inc injuries.....I like Carlos 'the man.' He really does seem like one of the most genuine, down to earth blokes in football....I'd love us to go up with him.....Get the players we need this summer...Quality link up man...Some pace out wide....A proper centre half, maybe another full back...And go again....WAWAW
