Doesn't matter how confident your team is, how many goals you scored, means absolutely nothing going into this season .I know that
But on our side we have confidence and scoring goals all over the place. Strikes that would normally get GOTS haven't even made the list. We will score goals but let in even more.
One big point for us is keeping Rushworth. Player of the season for the Championship. Keep him and we have a chance.
Even if you keep Rushworth, don't think you will, that's 20 million less on your budget to improve a championship team

When was the last time you got 6 points off us?We'll be looking at our usual 6 points off yourselves for starters
But on a more serious note do you normally make such predictions when you have no idea which players will be involved? Were you one of the many that thought we wouldn't get promoted?

No, it was nailed on from around October that you would be promoted.We'll be looking at our usual 6 points off yourselves for starters

Your playing style is too open, you’ll be picked off at will.
You haven’t taken 6 points off us for a long while btw.

I'd hazard a guess they have never actually done the double over us in history. Just a hunch
Some gems among this lads comments about the playoffs before he mysteriously vanished for a year 
We spent €200M (and needed to) to stay up. Leeds were miles ahead of Coventry and Sunderland dropped £100M to get safety. What's the transfer budget for Coventry this summer?And stayed up. Congratulations Leeds

Dunno but if they keep the keeper and onyeka that's 28 million of their budget gone without improving the team

And?
Team morale means a lot. Look at how Luton did without spending. They looked like staying up at one stage.
You don't have to explain how hard it will be. But we're coming up with a few players Prem sides were interested in and will be signing more. I'm holding onto that little bit of hope an see what happens. With players wanting to play for Lampard and an owner willing to back him we shall see where we stand in 4 months time.
You mean the year where we were in different divisions?Some gems among this lads comments about the playoffs before he mysteriously vanished for a year
If you look back I gave congratulations on your promotion. Now we're feeding from the same trough again. Looking forward to reading about the tears that come from people not born when a game was delayed by the police but put down to Hill again.

Well, and ? Team morale in the championship when your winning means fuck all compared to team morale when you are losing. If you only have 100 million to spend, it means you only now have 80 million to improve that team.And?

Without improving our side? Onyeka is ours now. Rushworth we hope for. 20m for Rushworth? Would look elsewhere at that price.

Honestly I recommend people read some of them, quite funny the level of confidence he had and how he was talking to people

It's well known you were lucky in the playoffs last season but truth isn't easy for many people on here.Honestly I recommend people read some of them, quite funny the level of confidence he had and how he was talking to people
Fair play for winning the playoffs and a good season this year. Let's wait and see how next season goes.

Yeah that's 28 million spent to not improve the team that you had last season. Honestly it's not that difficult to work out.
You're biting incredibly hard at me simply suggesting people read things you posted last year. Suggests you know why it's funny

On what metric were we lucky?

I certainly wouldn't write Coventry off without a ball being kicked as the beggars did to us last season. They would however be foolish to think that staying up is easier these days just because Leeds and us have managed to do it. It's just as difficult as it has always been and it still requires a huge step up in the standard of football that a team has been used to playing in the Championship. And its a standard that has to be achieved week after week.
Still on the bright side I hear that the parachute payments are still quite generous these days.
