    If we get relegated again, which is looking more likely as each game goes by, how will we fare in Division 1.

    I reckon that if we splash out again as we did this season and keep this squad we should escape relegation to Division 2.
    However, if any of our players show any promise such as Watmore,Honeyman or Gooch, they will obviously be sold.
    Also, players like McGeady will probably feel too good to play in Div 1 and their wages will mean they will also be sold.
    I think we will keep Rodwell who will probably be getting paid more than the whole team we play against in some games.

    If we don’t splash out like we did for this season then I think it’s quite likely we will drop to Div 2.

    I wonder what we would be sold for as a Division 2 club.

    If this keeps up Short wouldn't be able to sell the club at a car boot sale.

    But it's still far too early to be worrying about that just yet.

    I still think things will pick up soon.

    Thats the absolute minimum we need.

    But we're more likely to get a bag of coal at the minute for Christmas.

    There's faith and there's blind faith.

    But that's one quote too far.

    But if we do, you can live off that for years <ok>

    I still maintain, player for player, we have easily one of the top 6 sides in the division. No doubt about it in my mind. A better manager would have us higher up the league, but we've got the best we can have under the current conditions.

    I hope I'm wrong but I genuinely don't think you will. I don't think you're going to get relegated at all, lower mid-table still on the cards.

    I'm surprised at how toothless the team have looked at times, I thought the defence was more of an issue but actually that's looked good in the matches I've seen.

    What I and quite a few can’t understand is
    We have inderviduals at times looks great we performed in patches.
    Soon as the opposing team gets a bit of the ball and out mussels us we then go into the mode of playing crap and looking crap.
    We need to shake out of this and realise we are not a bad team but we must knuckle down and be strong.

    Grayson's team is the worst in our history, and Short brought him here !. Yet Another northern manager as well.

    All on the money mate, it's why I agree with Bri that a sports psychologist would be a help for us.

    At least in the last couple of games we've gone from being a goal down to at least finishing level. Always a good sign I think.

    \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\think its a negative post at the moment as \I'am sure we'll start improving very soon - Brentford (a) may be the start.
    But why did we sell Vito - very bad decision by whoever authorised this - Steel and Reuiter are so dodgy that they make our dodgy defence look all at sea.
