    My biggest concern at this point would be our conversion rate of shots to goals. No way will we create as many chances in the championship so that will have to improve considerably.
    I do think we will survive, but we will have to be more clinical. That said, momentum can carry you a long way, if we get off to a good start could see us being mid table, if not, then it will be a case of deja vu.

    Agree with most of that, especially about Kieffer. Next season is his big chance to prove he can do it at a higher level.

    I also think that Jacob Brown is going to shine massively in the Championship.

    Think Moore will always be around a 10 goal player in Championship, also think Bahre (if he stays) will be better suited to Championship.
    As for post relating to goals/shots ratio, we need to learn to ignore that, our style of play and shoot on sight will always make our shots look high, we need to alter our play very slightly and learn to pass a bit more often when in final third to create better chances, but suspect this will come with time.

    I had to read that several times to realise that if I was pissed then it would sound like gobbledegook to me !!

    Hull city will also struggle next season.

    Their best player Jarrod Bowen will.be sold in the summer. They have an aging squad and apart from Bowen have no.saleable assets.
