sounds a decent game

McClaren took over earlier this season from Clough. They were going nowhere under Clough and with the same squad of players Mclaren has them on the verge of the Prem. We are different at Bolton we need to clear out players and Dougie has to do a complete rebuild to get to the same situation as Derby. Makes you think Campo.
Derby deserve to go up but if they get to Wembley and play Wiggin I can see them losing and the pie-eaters being in the Prem next year.
Interesting point though chip. I think McLaren inherited a younger and more hungry squad than us. They'd had a few years to clear out the ex-Prem wasters and basically wanted it and were willing to work for it
Next season is the crunch for me Jimmy there really can't be anymore excuses.
Completely agree chip.
Last year of Freedman's contract so he's got to do what he did at Palace and show that he can do something with the youngsters. They've done well in their leagues so some of them need to be stepped up to the first team.
Play-offs minimum for me
Playoffs minimum for me this season, otherwise it's bye bye Dougie.
Just watching the Wigan V QPR game and it's pretty dull. From what I've seen so far, Derby look most likely to go up and they deserve it, with finishing 3rd.
I can see Derby doing the same as us if they don't go up.
Everyone will think they'll go up because they've got the momentum, and they'll finish mid table.
As for the 3 relegated teams I think Fulham will struggle big time after so long in the Prem, a culture shock for their players. Cardiff should be strong because a lot of their players played in the championship, but I have a feeling Solskjaer won't last. Norwich could be hovering around the playoffs.
