    Anyone else think we may have to take a step back to move forward. Gonna have to be a very busy January to stop in the Championship

    No. I think going back to league one would be a disaster.

    Disaster is a bit much. We have been promoted out of that league twice since 2006. I'm sure we could do it again and now we are in a much stronger position off the pitch. It would be a set back but not the end of all things. I'm sure the new owners know it's a risk.

    I expect Wigan fans thought it was the end of the world going back down but look at them now. 7-0 away is just surreal!

    Need to stay up, but it's not going to be as easy as some think.

    January won't be some magic pill that has us racing up the league.

    It's going to be tough.

    Any Relegation is a big step backwards ok Disater is a bit much but half way through the season its a big possibility

    I don’t see us getting relegated, we won’t be pushing top 6 but we will have a safe position at the end of the season. We knew it was going to be tough after the team was rebuilt on a budget but every game we are improving. We just need a few players in January and we will be ok.

    i still don't think we'll get relegated, even if we made no signings in january. i do wonder though, what it would do to the owners' plans

    I just can't see that the new owners would have factored a relegation in to whatever plans they have to move BFC forward. We do need to recruit wisely in January - some experience wouldn't go amiss.

    They do now have a diffeent manager from the one who relegated them last season. We have to start picking up results sooner rather than later 1 point from a possible 21 is abysmal and one goal from open play. I don' want league one but this carrys on and that' where we are off.

    I think quite a few of our players would benefit from a potentially successful season in league one.

    I really want to keep watching championship football though.

    i do worry that people are getting their hopes up about january. the window is notoriously difficult at best of times. add to that, i imagine clubs and agents will probably be doubling the money they want, whenever we make an enquiry.

    It will be tight and I expect us to go down. Last time I welcomed it thought it was for the best to allow us to regroup and refocus this time it will be an absolute disaster.

    It's the only hope we've got I'm afraid. Because we simply aren't good enough to stop in this division unless something changes.
