I know where you are coming from. There is a massive difference between the prem and the championship. But sometimes players need to drop down a division to find their feet. Jemal has only played three games for us and there is a long way to go. Preston fans said he has an attitude problem. I hope he hasn't got an attitude problem but time will tell. It's a gamble really because mccarthy hasn't got any money to spend because of the loss of parachute payments. Mccarthy tried to get alan o neil from newcastle on loan. O neil is a young winger, the fastest player i've ever seen when i saw him in the reserves and i'm peeved we missed out on him. But mccarrthy has got a got eye for a player.
We've taken a chance on jay bothroyd too who i believe played for yourselves and charlton and he's been incredible. He's quick skillful and a powerful shot. Scored two goals for us so far. Looked unfit in pre season but in the league he's been quality and only 24.
We're fifth in the league but we have to keep it up. Would be amazing if we could get in the play offs. Hoddle was awful, very aloof man and who thought he was too good for us.
Good luck to yourselves this season.
