I think there's a lazy assumption from some fans of newly relegated fans that it will be a clean sweep, rebuild and straight back up to the PL.

But there's a big gap between the Championship standard and PL and as history has shown, some big clubs like Sheff Weds, Leeds, Nott'm Forest, Newcastle have languished in the lower leagues for a number of years before gaining promotion.

There's truth there though we've been relegated twice in my lifetime and won the league at the first attempt both times. Not sure that counts as languishing.

West Ham, Chavs (before the Rubles) and of course Man City.

Lesta could bounce straight back, but with no Maddison, Tielemans or Barnes, that midfield is now looking every bit like championship standard

He might be one of those stoners who don't fall asleep though, and will talk about Peppa Pig all night instead.

I’m watching the Liverpool v Darmstadt game. 2-1 after 10 minutes. Liverpool caught out with a big hoof through the middle and Trent and Konate done for pace.
have to agree as i've been banging on about our (very) high line for 18 months as we no longer have the MF cover the defensive speed (aka fit VVD) to play that way .

Honest question. Has Virgil lost about 10 yards of pace or was he just knackered last year?

Did you watch the game Ponky? ... or just talking out your fart pipe again ... 2 great finishes from an attacking midfield player and a very good debut from our new winger that used to be at yours ... <laugh>
