If we do go up…

Anyone from Palace downwards are in big danger of being relegated so if we go up and are in that kind of mix, we'll have every chance and would almost be better in terms of managing people's expectations compared to last time where we overachieved and as previously mentioned, teams hadn't wised up to our team or way of playing.

Will Fulham be repeating this season's heroics? I doubt it, they could quite easily go the way we did after a great first season. How long are the likes of Brentford or Brighton going to stick around the top half of the table before their better players get pilfered? Chelsea may have bottomed out and can surely only improve, whether that's with Potter or someone else next season.

We'd have some decisions to make over players coming to the end of their contracts - McBurnie, Osborn, Wes, Norwood, Jebbison, Fleck, Stevens, Sharp, Coulibaly and Robinson all need decisions making on them while O'Connell is also on the list and the loanees will go back unless we pay to keep any of them.

How many of these get new deals? McBurnie, Norwood probably, Robinson as a back up? Jebbison? Is Wes a Premier League standard goalkeeper? The rest we'd probably wave goodbye to and we'd need to replace and as such bump some of the current squad down the pecking order
 
If we go up I almost wouldn't care if we're relegated. Sounds loserish and small I know but it's not the priority. We need promotion to get on a stable financial footing, improve the infrastructure and build a squad for the next few years
Wasn't that the plan, when we got promoted in 2019?
 
these show why its been a good season... HOME TABLE FIRST
