    Hi guys,

    Just wondering how you guys are feeling about next season? Is there optimism that you can kick on and get promoted?

    I am not one of those NCFC supporters who wants you to go out of existence in fact I rather miss the Derby games, win, lose or draw.

    Is Mick, Super Mick or are you guys still a bit divided?

    I'm feeling quite confident about next season kempy, from the sides coming down, Reading will be quite strong but yourselves and QPR will be rebuilding. The sides coming up this year from the 3rd division will only want to survive, rather than the past 3/4 years where there has been some strong sides looking to do back to back, with a bit of money behind them.

    Who do you think will be top 6 in the Championship and where do you think you be?

    Do you really think we will go down?

    TBH kempy, I think you will just about be ok with what you have now, but you never know with Wigan and the end of the season, I do think you will finish in 17th.

    As for next seasons top 6, Ourselves, Reading, Forest,Brighton,Bolton & 1 of the other 2 who come down.

    It is "Super Mick", he has done a fantastic job this season, getting us safe with a week to spare...

    Back in November after a third (15 games) of the season we were bottom of the table, tomorrow we have an outside chance of finishing 9th, with enough points to have survived even without the seven jewell managed to get from 13 games.!

    Every football fan has blind optimism at this stage of the season but we have real justification for the 1st time in a long time <ok>

    I think most of us still have a hint of caution (realism) and see us being consistent mid table next year... but Mick has continued to impress and I think most of us think we can challenge be around the play offs next season if Mick continues in the same vein <ok>

    I don't expect automatic promotion and clocking up a big points total but I do expect to finish between 4th and 10th next season.

    We dont know whos up or down yet but making some assumptions i think QPR are dead certs to bounce straight back in my book and likewise Hull, that doesn't leave much of a chance for anyone else in the division and Wigan and Bolton will certainly be challenging.

    I feel as though it's inevitable Norwich will be relegated unless there is an injection of a couple of young players and at least one serious acquisition of a talisman up front and Ruddy is fit for the season or if there is a change in the dugout. I don't expect Hughton to see the season out.

    We can finish anywhere between 9th and 18th today. What a league. The best. So it is super mick. What he's done is close to Moses parting the Red Sea. Lol. Optimism is high for next season and I for one will be hoping we're knocking on door of play offs if not in there.

    I literally gave us nil chance of staying up. We were in an absolutely dire position and look at the points tally at the bottom for this season! More often than not the safety line has been around the 45 point mark. So we haven't just survived by the standard of any normal season we have managed 53 points with two and a half months less, and with a group of players who were all but down and out.

    Mick surely should be manager of the season.
