    At the start of every season since we've been back in the Championship I've looked at our squad and thought, "We're going to get relegated this season". Thankfully, I've been wrong every time. This season I look at our squad (and manager) and I don't see relegation on the cards at all, which scares the hell out of me and makes me think we will get relegated after all. So, to err on the side of caution, I'm going to predict we will get relegated and if my past record is anything to by, that should definitely see us safe.

    I predict a rello, I predict a rello.

    I'm with Jay. As soon as a slither of modicum of optimism enters my brain I'm either proven wrong instantly or something happens to turn the tables. So to be on the safe side, I'm going to predict a another relegation battle.

    Allowing the optimism side to sneak out for a minute though, I think there's plenty to be positive about. All the players I wanted to stay have signed up, in Golbourne and Digby we have a couple of additional first teamers back in contention and the squad/manager will still be on a high from the end of last season. I still think we're a goal scoring forward and a decent centre back away from troubling the top half but if players stay fit I'm hopeful this will be our highest finish since returning to the Championship.
