I was thinking of what Boro have to do it we got promoted.
Leeds won the league by 10 pts last year and look like they are going easily survive this year. But Norwich won the league the year before by a similar margin but we're relegated. If asked are Norwich going to be relegated next year most of us would probably say yes
So what the difference threading Leeds have only drawn 3 games and have won 11 and have lost 14. More than Wolves Southampton Burnley and Fulham. So going for the win rather than sitting back and hoping for a draw get you further up the table. Leeds also have a goalscorer PB who wins them games!
Sheff U did remarkably well last year on effort and 1-0 victories.They gambled on a young striker but that hasn't paid off. But they still have the majority of their Championship squad.
Aston Villa finished 5th on 76pts and survived by the skin of there teeth they have a world class player in Grealish and an excellent striker in Watkins also they manipulated FFP. But they moved on and play progressive football unlike Sheff U.
So how are we going to survive? We cannot afford major investment in the team but it doesn't take a genius to know what we need. If we do go up I think Bolasie would stay and we might even be able to afford Kebano. More importantly Dale and Tav would definitely stay. It will probably take Sheff U's gritt and determination to survive the first year but change would be needed after that. I trust NW has thought of all this and more.
Come on Boro 3 points tomorrow.
