This season 8-12 I'd say injury permitting.

https://fantasyfootball.telegraph.co.uk/championship/home I've only just noticed this and it is free to play as long as you aren't also playing The Telegraph version of the Premier League or Champions League game. £50 million budget to pick 11 players. You can choose from a number of different formations. I've created a league if anyone wants to join. League Pin: 8166816 Password: 1875.

It's as open as it's ever been IMO even with the parachute payments for the relegated clubs. Here's my predictions for the league on the whole including Rovers.. https://bobbysblag.com/2018/08/01/efl-championship-preview-18-19/

We have some very good players in Mulgrew, Dack, Lenihan and Raya but need some more attacking options quickly. I think most of our games will be low scoring tight affairs and we will come somewhere between 10th - 18th.

How's Dack playing in the false 9 role? He might be needed there next season...

Signing Maddison would instantly take it from a fairly poor window to a good one. IMO he will be worth north of £10million within 18 months if he avoids injuries. He has vision and creativity that we severely miss. Kent may turn out great but we would only have him for a year and the better he performs the less likely he stays beyond this season. If he is signed on loan in addition to Maddison I'd be happy with that. Striker wise I'd be looking at 2 from Amstrong/Harrison/Gallagher or others not yet mentioned eg hidden gems like Gestede a few years ago.

I don't understand this one. We need to make a permanent signing. Gallagher on loan is just an expensive stop gap and we will have to find someone this time next year. Avoid.

Harrison for the rumoured £875k would be a smart piece of business. He's got all the raw attributes and has far more composure than Samuel will ever have. He is one who would thrive with better players and could be worth 10x more with a breakthrough Championship season. Don't judge him solely on his goal record. Josh Kings was bang average for us but we knew he had something if given the right environment.

Diego Forlan on a free anyone? 39 now but would be a marquee signing and might fancy one last farewell in England? Maybe this sun has gone to my head.

Chris Coleman had a crap CV but got a tune out of Wales. If he can give the players an identity and get rid of the fear factor in tournaments he could surprise a few. I personally wasn't happy at all with his appointment but think he has some useful attributes for international football management.

Yep, no need for goal music. Time to get rid.

He was good at the start of the season but can't get near the starting line-up at the moment because of incredible form of Danny Graham. He's strong and quick but his finishing/composure isn't his strong point. Most strikers need regular game time for them to find their top form so I don't think we can judge him until he gets a proper run in the side. 500k is looking a bit expensive so far but he's still young and could prove to be a bargain in a few years time.

It's been a good year on the whole under Mowbray but the next 12 games will define his reign. Heres my two penniesworth.. https://bobbysblag.com/2018/02/25/a-year-with-tomo/

I'd say Lenihan highly likely and then the others is open to debate. Mowbray has brought a broken fanbase back together and the club feels 10 times more unified than this time last year. Let's hope we can all celebrate together in May.

How do you define 'Joe average player' ? Average for League 1 level that we will be playing next season? 7 goals and 7 assists last season as a bit part player doesn't strike me as average and that is at a higher level than we will be playing next season. I agree he is nearing the end of his career but feel he has plenty in the locker to give us 2 years of good performances, particularly at League 1 level.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

We win , we go above them now that would be great.
