    Do you believe we'll come right back up or stay down there for a few seasons or even never comeback up?

    If we go down, I don't think Danny will still be manager either.

    Not sure, our budget might be top 8ish in League One so it would still be a big effort to get back up. There's no way we'd be able to keep hold of the likes of O'Grady, and a lot of the others would be on wages far too high for us to sustain in League One.

    These people who say it would be good for us to go down, rebuild and come back up are talking rubbish. If we go down, so be it, but surely it's much better to try and stay up and then rebuild in the Summer.

    I don't think he'll walk away, but it wouldn't be a major surprise if he was sacked I suppose given that he's been allowed to bring in his own players. They do seem better players in the main but it's weird how the Flitcroft/Hill mentality is still very much evident in our play.

    Completely agree. I'd hope to keep some players,Jennings,Kennedy. wish we'd kept Daggers for next season (if we go down) he would be great in that league.

    I think we'd struggle to bounce back at the first attempt.

    considering we've spent practically jack **** over the last 7/8 seasons (that's not a dig but just financial fact) it's a miracle we've even stayed in the championship for this long tbh, I think we're resigned to trying to be a Champ > League 1 yoyo club from here on (Scunny, Posh, Donny etc)

    Coming out of the transfer window, Wilson was in a better position, with a better squad than what Flitcroft had. I suspect that's how he will be judged. So far, 1 win from 11

    Absolutely no idea, I thought Donny would struggle to come back up & that Sheff Utd would come straight back up.

    It's all about balancing the books but still keeping the balance of the squad right, it's a lottery

    Would you go for 5 draws and a defeat, or two wins and 4 defeats?

    Dunno, I suppose you've always got to go with not losing, but it's almost like drawing has become a habit for us.

    Four points from the next two games please.

    I think stop losing games so often is stage one then start winning games more often is stage two. I thought when Danny was appointed staying up would be very difficult. Years of neglect since Robins left an uncompetitive team, no real youth policy. Nothing since he came back as changed that. Instead of sleep fighting towards relegation like we were we are putting up a decent fight. Not sure the powers that be could expect much else.
