Ha ha me too. That would be quality 

You would imagine if we do go up and I haven`t a clue if we will or not considering how results are going lately.
But if we do the likes of Meslier, Byram, Struijk, Wober, Firpo, Aaronson, Bamford, Joseph, Gyabi, Geldhart, Kristenson, Harrison at least will all depart plus one or two out on loan that I can`t think of.
Personally out of that lot I`d keep Wober but can`t see it happening.
So that`s a hell of a lot of players that need replacing with only several weeks to get them signed and integrated into the way we play.
Oh and we might have a new manager too.

I think this squad will have done its job if they can get us promoted. The reality then would be, no more than a handful would be worth keeping if we were financially able to upgrade the vast majority. Forest have shown the only way to prosper as a recently promoted club, a massive cull and signings befitting a serious Premier League club. If you try tinkering around the edges it’s only going one way. We’ve struggled against some really poor cellar dwellers recently, and that’s a symptom of players barely able to beat crap Championship teams let alone compete at the next considerably higher level. I’d keep the  likes of James, Ampadu, Bogle and possibly Rodon, and then look to upgrade all the rest. Might seem harsh and pessimistic, but to me that’s the unfortunate reality of the leap in quality we’d have to make.

I agree that not many are anywhere near PL quality and need shipping out.
Also agree that our recruitment team need to start agreeing how many loan players we have to bring in at least lower mid table PL standard with the unearthing of a Raphina type thrown in along the way.
From your list of 4 I would add Tanaka and maybe Rothwell as squad fillers at a push.
I see you`ve omitted your mate Piroe 

I played a 4 or 5 games for Yorkshire Amateurs maybe around 72 and if memory serves me right I`m sure we won a Cup of some description that year. Memory not as good as it used to be!Don`t suppose you ever played with an Ian Green who was at St Kevs at the time?

No Chapy can’t remember Ian Green,  although it’s nearly 50 years back lol. St Kev’s though, that brings back some memories. It was just up the road from John Smeatons really, and was a High school back then. John Smeatons already had a few problems when I was there, but it went on to become one of the worst schools in Leeds and ended up on Channel 4’s dispatches programme. I was happy to blame it on schools like St Kev’s, because we got all the lads who had been excluded from there. It wasn’t a reciprocal deal though, because St Kev’s wouldn’t accept non Catholics back then, so we couldn’t dump our wrong un’s on them. It led to Smeatons becoming a bit of a one way dumping ground. At least we gave the world Josh Warrington, not a bad claim to fame.

Btw, which school did you go to Chapy ? I’m assuming you’re from Chapeltown or Chapel Allerton ?

said all along sheff utd were scraping results and it couldn't last.
and it hasnt

What a difference a week makes. I’ll be sleeping a lot better now we’ve got the situation well in our own hands. We’re not exactly dashing over the line, but I’ll take a narrow one goal victory every game from now on in. The finishing was dreadful at times yesterday, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player have as many chances as Piroe did and not get a single one on target. As for that open goal he missed from 3 yards…….I thought I’d seen it all at Portsmouth a couple of weeks ago. Time to get his lowlights, I mean highlights reel out quickly before he becomes absolutely worthless.
