He came in when we were rock bottom sure and playing shit football. We finished higher every year apart from last year when our cup run and injuries caught up with us. We were a whisker away from a cup final. That says with Adi we have never stood still, and there is no evidence to suggest we...

The new Assistant Manager (AM) has a hard act to follow with Adi, as he has been our most successful AM ever. He was consistently successful previously at Chelsea. That is evidence based not speculation. I have seen endless theories on here about players not liking him, bullying and falling out...

We need to be in a situation where players are pretty near max fitness when they start. Players often say they are not 100% when they play such is the intensity of modern football. I hope gone are the days when managers say we will give a player an injection before a match and hope he is OK. Or...

Which is why I would go for BNC if he is affordable and interested in coming.

MR always said he wanted Callum to stay. Was it the last game he said he still hoped to persuade him. He rested O'Hare because he had a terrible injury and letting him play every game would be detrimental to his health. Also his form dropped and he may have been average in training. Most players...

Jim Smith comes to mind. That worked out well.

Ultimately, the new system works if the right people are in the right jobs, with clearly defined responsibilities who do a good job and improve themselves and the overall results for the club. The bottom line is, it is the results on the pitch that matters.

Unfortunately, can't do that in the Championship.

The end of the Richardson era, the Robinson, Mcginnity years and SISU's tenure. I sat with a season ticket through it all except when we played outside Cov.

Classic short termism (see most politicians). Don't think King expects to be here in 5 years time.

Allen is fine. Just what we need an experienced midfielder with a good engine who is a solid reliable squad player. If his injury problems are behind him, he will make a major contribution this season. He was written off two seasons ago and came back as one of our best players. Last season was a...

Yeah, thought the same.

I would welcome a loan to buy possibly a guaranteed buy if we get promoted. Think we have been targeting an experienced (but not too old) centre back or holding midfielder, right back cover and an up-and-coming striker. Think we need Vik to be sold and as a bonus Gus to cover all bases. To quote...

The bookies get more right than they get wrong which is how they make money. However, think our odds are really good meaning I think we will do better than they predict. I have said before, think this is as difficult to get promoted as during any season. The "no hopers" from lat year QPR...

Think the Championship will be as difficult to be promoted from as in previous years. Lot of the mid table teams from last year have improved and the three relegated teams have the money. We need some luck, not too many serious injuries and no last minute loss of any of our top players. The...

You joke, but there are people on here who act as if that should happen.

That is the million dollar question. Clearly, only time will tell.

K on the punchbag? What are the chances of being sent off again?

Certainly never dull with King in charge. I imagine he is a hard taskmaster and will want promotion and better returns in the cups than earlier seasons when we did not take them seriously. Obviously, last season in the FA Cup was the exception. There have been enormous changes behind the...

Agreed, we needed more coaches for specifics but overall they have to be an improvement on the previous set up, as they are likely to cost more. I'm really sad Adi left (or more likely was removed), as I felt he was at the heart of all that was good with us for the last 7 years. Our success had...
