What will happen to the likes of Evina/Hayes/Hughes. From the outside it looks like CP isn't a fan on Hayes, could he be sold in the summer? Surely Hayes isn't content just to sit on the bench but when he's played this season he's done well. Not sure what's going with Hughes, he hasn't featured in a while, has he been injured all this time? As for Evina he's played twice (i think) in the league this season and is just playing second fiddle to Wiggins. Will they be given the chance to prove themselves in the championship or will CP be ruthless and show them the door?

One thing is for sure I hope that a fair number of the current 1st 11 are rewarded with regular games in the Championship, regardless of where that leaves us, as this bunch have shown themselves to give a damn and that's really appreciated.
We shall see though - all depends on investment and SCP!
Norwich had a centre back that is now at Scunthorpe who was a rock in League 1 but not given a chance in the Championship. Unfortunately for him, I think Taylor may be the same
The weaknesses are further forward, we've been overrun in midfield against some poor teams. Also, is BWP good enough for the Championship, as his finishing has been pretty poor in the 2nd half of the season (if you consider the number of chances he's had) and next season we'll create fewer opportunities to score? His previous track record at Championship level is nothing special.
JJ will be important for his dead ball skills. A good free kick or corner into the box will trouble defences in all divisions,
I'd love to see a quality left winger coming in (or maybe see what happened to Bover, who was making serious waves in pre-season) so then JJ can move into the centre, a partnership of JJ and Hollands could work excellently i think, and could handle Championship teams.
I don't think Green will cut it unless he improves work rate or something, he really dropped away in second half of this season, mayeb he was injured i don't know. But I think if Waggy developed better final balls he'd be superior in every way, and that would only take hard graft on waggys part.
Evina will stay. Cover will be bought in for RB, and another CB, all the defenders will stay. Keepers will be fine.
Some CMs will come in, hopefully Russell. Could do with an extra touch of class in the mid sometimes.
and get 15 in
onwards and upwards
Just a thought!
Cort i believe will be the first signing we make that man is my favorite CH in years absolute Beast of a player his performance for us Saturday was the best CH defensive display i have seen all season , and Mozza and Taylor have had a fair few great games so its saying a lot
