While I am pessimistic about us surviving I am more optimistic about what we
can do in the Championship. I think a squad with the experienced players who
have shown they can play at that level (Bamford, Ayling, Cooper, Dallas maybe
Forshaw) plus some who might stay and might be good at that level [Rutter,
Aaronsson (though I have my doubts), Roca) and some of the youngsters who are
proven at that level (Cresswell and Drameh) and others I think will definitely
be able to (Perkins. Gyabi, Jooseph, Greenwood) should have enough to be
sucesful.

We’ll go down for sure, if he keeps picking Aaronson, Roca & McKennie.
And not starting Gnonto.
We miss Adams.
