If we don't go up this season...

Sat Feb 11, 2012 4:40 pm

We've been doing really well this season, far better than I ever thought we would. We are still in a strong position and whilst automatic promotion may be out of the question, hopefully we will still be in the play offs at the end of the season and I reckon we would be in with a shout with the team that we have of going up that way.

Lets say though that we slip out of the play offs......

Looking at the Premiership, the 3 that would come down are likely to be Bolton, Wigan and one of Blackburn/Wolves or QPR. Malky has shown that he can be trusted in the transfer market and I feel that if we can get our business done early in the Summer and the owners are prepared to back Malky in the way they did with the Sordell bid then I see no reason why automatic promotion is not a realisitic aim over the coming seasons.

The way I see it, if we don't go up this season, we will have a better squad next season because our current quad apart from Kiss and Vuckic are all our players and the majority of them are young who will get even better next season with more experience. We have a squad of players currently who are still progressing to become even better players and this current squad will be involved in us getting promotion. If it doesn't happen this season, it will happen in the next few seasons the latest. We are building the foundations this season under Malky and if we get promoted this season, that would be fantastic. But if not, we will get even stronger next season. The only way is up under Malky as long as he remains our manager. :ayatollah:

If we are being honest we would have taken the play-offs before the season started, Malky brought together players and they gelled so quickly. I believe we have the basis for a really good solid next season. If we get anything out of the play-offs or cup final will be a welcome bonus :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

It will be great if we make the play offs, I expected us to be around mid table for most of the season so I'm very happy with what Malky has done for us so far. :ayatollah:

Blackpool and leicester can do anybody in this division on there day, and i do think were knackered mentally, getting to wembley on pens has got to freak you out, and even though we have been superb in application and work ethic all season, we are due a bad patch, think we will be back on track come tuesday against the posh so theres plenty to play for :ayatollah: said at the beggining of the season " knowing my luck, bound to be a f*cking cardiff / brighton play off final " :lol: :ayatollah:

Although i want to be there or there abouts this season ive always thought our time is next season. For the first time in years we have a squad which is ours except two or three loans.

We could add 5 or 6 players in the summer to the squad we have now and we will be an excellent team :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
