Promotion Battle

[barneygumble]

Of the top 6 sides, the only team is he keen for is a Brentford. They’ve not been here and deserve a crack.

Norwich - Yo-yo like mad, can’t stand delia smith, charged us £55 a few years back and a 6 hour drive.
Bournemouth - tin pot club, did nothing but roll over for the big teams and then beat us.
Watford - plastic snakes
Reading - plastic club, ground in the middle of nowhere, no boozers, quiet fans. Zzz.
Swansea - another tortuous trip. Can not be bothered.

Barnsley, exciting football, will bring something different. Not like Huddersfield and their dire tactics.
Cardiff, haven’t done enough to say they’ll stay up, but at least Cardiff is a very decent city for a stop over.

Disaster really, West Brom, Sheffield Utd and Newcastle will go to be replaced by potentially Bournemouth, Swansea and Norwich.

Think Preston is too far down the table to get into the playoff places now, what are they 11th or 12th?

Think they let 3-4 players go in January didn't they, as their contracts were running down?

They can replace Newcastle with Milton Keynes Dons, and I'd still be happy. Can't stand them.

 

[PaddyJames]

Brentford please. They play some cracking football and it will be nice for someone new.

 

[SussexToffee]

Only one of those that can go up I want to see is Brentford. Been to all the rest that stand a proper chance apart from Barnsley, but I cannot see them doing it. It would be fantastic if they did after only just beating the drop last season.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Will absolutely tear out what is left of my hair if Norwich, Watford, and Bournemouth all come back

Hate the fans, but for an away, I love Newcastle away tbh, in the town centre, great for a stop over.

Rather Newcastle than Reading all day

Have a soft spot for brentford, would love forest back though. My first match was against them.

 

[Nymzee]

PNE just for them being my biggest local side.

No chance they make the play offs, far too inconsistent. Think they are happy to be midtable and sell any player worth a few mill

Hard to disagree with that I guess, although I've never been to Reading. Been to Newcastle twice, it's a madhouse at night.

It will be like 1997/98 all over again.

Norwich keep going up and down all the damn time. Either stay down or at least try and stay up!.

Very much so.

Reading is a 15 minute park and ride away from any bars, unless you fancy drinking in the stadium hotel.
It’s literally everything that is wrong with modern football, Lego-esque stadium, ground in the middle of nowhere, too big for demand , which makes it soulless.

I've been to both the old and new at reading, in fact even the town is soulless
