gruev and rutter i wasnt sure about. they might step up or may not

I would go with Gray, Rodon, Ampadu, Gruev, Gnonto and Summerville.
Possibly Kamara but I have doubts as he`s struggled recently.
Both James and Rutter failed in the Prem before and I don`t think Rutter will have the luxury to do what he does/did in the Championship.
Likely we will need upwards of 10 players should we go up.

Looking at the remaining fixtures and Leicester have 3 home games from their last 4 whilst Southampton have 3 away games from their last 4.
And of course Southamprton play both Leicester and us.
All very exciting and no good for my heart!

For the neutral football fan ,this end of season battle is compelling. Nail biting stuff if you’re fans of any of the top four teams.

Its been an absolutely bonkers season with x4 teams panning just about every other.

could be anyone from the top four who finally get over the line as champions.

Rutter didnt fail in the prem last time at all.

He was frequently brought on with 10 mins to go and tasked with saving a team that was sinking.

And did he manage to do it?

Messi wouldnt be able to do it.

You cant write off a 20 year old and say he failed because of that.

Rutter is a totally different player to last year. He played next to no minutes for an appalling manager who was clueless. He's got a manger who believes in him now, he's had a great season and created so many goals, he's only a young lad at 21 and has bags and bags of potential, he was very highly thought of as one of the top young players coming through in the Bundesliga.

Yeah spot on.

Best hope the PSR rules are scrapped

Playing with confidence, injury free and with better players could transform Rutter into an even better player.

He needs to work on his shooting and he probably needs to mature a bit more, but given his age, he's got plenty of time to do that.

Who is writing him off?
I said he failed in the PL clearly you think he didn`t.
All the players failed in the PL otherwise we would still be there.
I personally do not think he is good enough for the PL and you do.
Seem to remember you rating Bamford too.
All opinions I suppose.
What I have noticed though is when others say something similar to me you say nowt.
Yet when I have an opinion you like to have a go.
You got a problem with me!!!?

Think you read his reply wrong way mate. Probably annoyed with tonight’s result. Let’s calm down bud. You make some really good points on this board

I’m not having a go mate, it’s a discussion. I don’t come on here and generally do a post agreeing with anyone, I’ll just post my opinions and then reply to others with my opinion if it differs to theirs.

I agree with you on certain things too, you used to always slate Harrison, and I always slated Harrison too,. I didn’t rate Bamford, we just didn’t agree on certain points about Bamford.

I don’t believe it’s as simple as everyone failed in the Prem, if that’s the case we need to get rid of Summerville, Gnonto, etc.
