Championship Top 3 on 22:43 - Nov 28 with 1695 views | Northernr | And none of them have played well. I think this season their really big advantage is squad size. Norwich made 12 signings, Watford have 37 senior players. Just look at their benches. That’s where it’s telling in this schedule. | | | |

Forest the obvious exception to that at the moment. Agree with the Beast here, with the gap what it is, it will be the same ones coming up and down. It's already happening with the league below us. Just look at how bad Hull were in the second half of last season and look where they are now. Charlton in third with Wigan a little off the pace, but only because of their supremely fir and proper owners actions last season. | |

We were relegated from the premier league. How come we didn't get auto top 3. | | | |

To be fair, we are probably the poster child for this! When we came down in 13 we came fourth with a ludicrous squad and throwing (a lot) more money than we actually had at promotion! | | | |
Championship Top 3 on 10:24 - Nov 29 with 1423 views | essextaxiboy | I dont mind going back to being the unfancied underdog , It takes the pressure off and everything is so much better when you get a bit of success , which we will if we stick on the current path IMO | | | |
Championship Top 3 on 10:48 - Nov 29 with 1376 views | ted_hendrix | Of course I want success for the club and it goes without saying the last thing I want for the club is relegation. But I honestly despise the Premiership and It's obsession with cash and It's obsession with just about anything that has very little to do with football matches but more to do with players personalities and their bloody wags and their personal Managers and KO times and fat Frank and somebody called bloody Pep and then of course, never mind bolox to it. By all accounts we're moving in the right direction. Wash your hands. | |

Bournmouth, Norwich and Watford had success (i.e promotion) then built their squads. The difference with Forest is that they've built a massive squad and expected it to bring them success. | |

Very good point. Do despise the fact Watford have had relative success in their managerial/recruitment processes, that contradict everything anyone has ever said about 'stability', and would love it to blow up in their Udinese-loving face | | | |

Yep, agree with you | | | |
