    With a fully fit squad to chose from, how do you see out team fairing against the bottom 3 in the prem.

    Tough one. Confidence is massive and, whilst their players are undoubtedly better than most of ours, our confidence is very high atm.

    ifyou put Newcastle in that mix then I’d fancy’s to cook against 3 of the 4. I think Fulham are looking a much more confident side now and have belief. The other 3 look bereft

    If I am honest not very well at all. The gap is huge. I get the confidence argument, and momentum is huge. I just think technically the players at that level are much better. Generally they are quicker too. Not saying we would be embarassed but I would be genuinely surprised if we got a point off any of them.

    We'd get beat nearly every game. We are a league one team playing well, but the gap even to the next league up is pretty big these days. The gap to the top flight is a quantum leap

    Although there's a big difference in class, I agree that our momentum confidece would balance against their lack of confidence (except Fulham, who look really good at the moment)

    In a one off game there is a fighting chance but over a few continuous games, no chance.

    Just wait a few years, the hypothetical will become reality, albeit with a much stronger squad than now.

    We’d get absolutely rinsed.

    Thats a massive gap abs we are nowhere near it,

    We could compete middle third Championship I think.

    Think we would be competitive in the championship with a solid 1st choice actual position would depend on if we can create and score.

    We'd be beat about 3-0.

    Were miles away from that level at the moment.

    We would get stuffed, at times we struggle to find a shirt when passing and even Wyke does not always score from chances. We would also have very little possession.

    Hopefully promoted this season into Championship... then a fairly big recruitment and retention... for a push to Premier.

    6 points off the mags will be good

    I reckon in a one off game we may well compete, but over a season we would regain the lowest points record

    Probably just the six points off the mags and a few draws. I reckon we'd score some goals off Charles' nut but our defence and keeper would get slaughtered.

    we would do a Sheff United, or be worse than Derby were.
