    They strengthened their overall squads - that's the key to success in the Championship.

    Our promotion team were good enough for a back-to back promotion...but only if the starting XI stayed fresh and fit for the 46 games. That's not arrogant - a lot of Championship teams can say that. Which is my point. We finished 9th - our squad was eventually exposed.

    As for the league Norwich won promotion from - Brighton and Peterborough were far superior compared to Wednesday and Huddersfield. And the teams that were relegated were stronger too - Swindon, Plymouth and Bristol Rovers.

    Oh, and I think Fox and Cork (two players in) were very important in their success.

    Just so we can all love Leeds a little bit more, they have signed El Hadji Diouf!! a marriage made in hell(and)! ;-)

    And Forest have agreed a £2m fee with the Baggies for Simon Cox.

    I think we are starting to get left behind now............nothing we can do if we have no dosh, but be prepared to be bottom half & scrapping against relregation from the off.

    Although I wouldn't touch El Hadji Diouf with a barge pole, Leeds now have him, Varney (ex Prem experience) Ross McCormack & Gray upfront - abd to think that they were in our position acouple of years ago.

    You'd expect McCormack to be the Goalscorer in there with Gray as back up.

    Diouf is well past it if he ever had it. Varney certainly never had it, Gray had it for half of one season then lost it. McCormack is ok.

    I would rather have BWP, Yann & Haynes.

    @AthleticoCharlton I agree with all of that, except that McCormack is better than just ok. You don't score the amount of goals he did for a mid-table Championship side last season if you don't have something about you.

    I'm sure if Charlton were to sign McCormack everybody would be saying that's a great signing. But it's a matter of opinions at the end of the day.

    Leeds still have Becchio who's quite good I think.

    Beef stock, Chicken stock both worth buying. Not sure about Brain Stock. Don't think it works the same way . . .

    Yeah, he is a very good player. I think they have 4 good strikers there for the champ but agree that for where we are now, I'd rather keep our 3.

    Quite pleased - as I liked him. Talk about no nonsense.
