I reckon we will be OK next season, With the current squad and any additions we get we will be in a better shape than last season and until the last 10 games we were playing some decent football. If we can stop the silly goals going in then I can see us getting up towards mid table, a realistic target for us is above Swansea, QPR, Norwich, Blackburn, Wigan, and West Brom.
Difficult to answer that question until the transfer window closes. If we don't strengthen the defence we will struggle again. We've also got to hope that nobody offers big money for Doyle and/or Fletcher. What about Newcastle? I can't see any positives in losing Nolan, especially after letting Carroll go.
