League 1 is a cracking league.....

[London_Boro]

Very competitive, anyone can beat anyone etc....

Just practicing! We've been using that line about the champo for years due to our inability to get back into the prem and stay there.

 

[Maccarone]

Maybe is but I hope not to experience it thank you

Some great away days and be nice to win some matches. What's not to like? etc etc.

Plus the momentum will win us the championship the year after too. Basically it's just like taking a big run up.......

It is so competitive in league 1 with so many Ex premier league teams in there. Automatic promotion no longer an expectation ( Blunderland, Derby, Portsmouth, Ipswich will all testify to that) in a way it can help rejuvenate big clubs also. May be the kick up the backside we need to sort the club out. Would be interesting to see clubs we wouldn’t usually play and visit their grounds for a change. UTB

I remember saying something similar to my daughter when we got relegated under Southgate. That didn't turn out well did it?

I definitely thought it.

But then I didn't expect Gibson to sell Tuncay, Huth and Johnson and replace them with Leroy Lita, Mark Yeates and Adam Hamill

A trip to Catterick might be the best kick up the backside

Can't wait for the away day to Carlise

It would be a complete disaster if you think our squad is poor now.

 

[coluka]

I think the current squad would soon be out of league one after its first season

 

[Aitoraitorapuddycat]

top of the list is away day to Wrexham

 

[coluka]

League 2?

No I don’t think they are that terrible, I’d expect some of them to press on as the season goes on and be of sufficient quality to be in the top 3

 

[dooderooni]

Our squad would be very different if we went down.
Hackney, Lenihan, McNair, Fry, Forss, McGree and a few others would be off either by choice or necessity.
It doesn't bear thinking about which is why I'm fearful that that is exactly where we are heading.

[newyddion]

Would be gutted about Hackney & Fry, the rest I wouldn’t be too bothered.

Hull City being the exception of course, slipped down into League 1 and smashed it as champions at the first attempt.
