I think Connolly is out of contract too

Firstly I don’t think it’s over yet.

Massive game next Sat, you never know..

But if we do go down then we’ve got 2 top keepers

2 excellent centre backs.., Bamba and Morrison

2 very good left backs.. Bennett and Cunningham

One decent Championship right back.. Peltier

Then some decent midfielders ... Ralls and Bacuna ( plus one who I expect to step up from the youth very soon)

3 very good wide men at that level.. Murphy, NML, Hoillet

Then Reid, Zohore, Ward ( I’d expect Healey to go) up front.
Possibly a rejuvenated Madine too.

3 or 4 decent acquisitions and we’d have a very good Championship squad. I can’t see many players being sold as not many have stood out enough to be bought by Premier league clubs.

The big challenge will be for the manager to motivate them to go for it again.


Saying all that - it’s far from over yet and as anyone who knows me will know I won’t give up until it’s mathematically impossible
Make that 1 keeper. Etheridge will deffo find another premier club. Ironically when ee last got relegated, Marshall left for Hull, and we know how that panned out.
