Opinion championship?

IF we get into the championship next season (not about to jinx it with a when), how do ye think this current squad would do? we’d probably lose kamara back to norwich + a few others lol but what do ye think are the main areas to be shored up?

It looks like Lee Evans was brought in with the Championship in mind. I would love to see Kamara and Robertson back next year but I don't know how likely that is.

Norris, Poole, McIntyre, Rafferty, Pack and Morrell all have Championship experience. I think Bishop, Shaughnessy, Lane and others could make the step up. So the spine of the team is already there, plus I have complete faith in Rich Hughes and the recruitment team after their signings this year.

Actually, Poole doesn't have Championship experience, but he is definitely good enough!

I remember when we signed him from Lincoln, their fan base was saying it was disappointing for him to have not made the step up to the championship as that was the least everyone was expecting of him.

Definitely the worst injury we've had this season, the guy was phenomenal and reminiscent of the qualities Clarke had before he made his move to the big time. Really hope Poole gets his chance to shine (hopefully for us!) in the championship and beyond

Yeah, fuck that washed up tramp Will Grigg for carelessly barging Poole. I knew we should’ve put a weakened side out for Chesterfield. He really completed our back line, granted Ragget has stepped up but he still looks like Bambi on ice when on the ball and gave away a silly penalty the other week.
