BUT, I can't see how we can mount a promotion chase with a squad that's quite frankly very average when you take in to account that Pilks, Noone, John, O'Keefe, etc. will be leaving. Having Warnock will give every player a boost and I'm not asking the club to spend £millions on a player for the sake of it but other than Zohore I can't see anyone changing a game? McGugan would be that guy if Warnock can get him going but even he's got a question mark next to him.
Anyone else agree? Maybe a loan star may be the answer?

Who's squad would you rather in the Championship this season ? With the exception of maybe Villa and Boro (at the moment).

We weren't far off last season except for lack of options on the bench, hopefully these new signings will do that. We also lacked a bit of firepower and Warnock has said that's next on the list so more than happy at the moment

i think the opposite, we got now one of the best defences in the league, Tomlin and McGugan would bring cutting edge to midfield.
Only need one more striker, if Saadi puts a shift in, in my opinion.
and bam, we could have a top 6 finish.

Fair play I agree with you on Fulham and maybe Reading at a push, this has got to be the most difficult seasons in the championship with some of the teams, players and managers flying around ! Couldn't pick a clear winner of the league or relegation so far

I said the same thing last season and had the same response: name teams with a better squad than ours. Well, there were 11 of them, and we finished 31 points outside of the top two. I'm not sure how much better we are than last season, but 31 points is a lot to make up if we want automatic promotion. Looking at things from a realistic point of view, it won't be easy to finish in the top 6. Just hope Warnock can conjure up something special.

I'm sure if look back on last season you wIll find a team from previous season would have made up lots points to be in playoffs ? No two seasons are same as squads change along with manager this season is no different! Besides all teams start on level points
