The 2 extremes of what can happen to the clubs that come down from the premier league in one game this. Yoyo back up or get into serious financial difficulties trying. Doesnt seem to be many sides in between :(

Hopefully we'll learn the lessons of the last two promotions. We definitely seem a more balanced side although way too reliant on Mitrovic at times. To be honest, the bottom 6-7 sides in the PL are al much of a muchness and enough mediocrity to give a grain of optimism we can compete next season. At least we're a step closer now we've scored

Not seen enough to have a strong opinion but does seem youre too reliant on Mitrovic (who didnt really cut it last time in the prem), going to lose Carvalho and a bit lightweight at the back. Going to need to strengthen for sure but hands potentially tied by FFP based on the last few years losses could make it difficult

Definitely some vulnerable sides in the bottom half of the prem but most of them a bit more battle hardened too, think it will still be a battle to survive next year


what strengthening would you want to see?

Depends what price is set for Carvahlo by the tribunal but definitely a PL experienced striker, a holding midfielder and a couple of PL experienced defenders. Definitely don't want to do what we did a couple of promotions ago when we seem to buy a whole new side in the close season who had no idea how to play together as team. Think the biggest problem last time was Parker simply wasn't up to the task at that level and didn't know how to break the losing trend or set up differently and give teams new problems to solve. All too predictable and he didn't seem to know how to change things

45 mins from the promised land for Fulham and 45 minutes from making every Forest fan happy by sending Derby down.

even Forest fans have to feel for Derby surely after the way this year has gone?
I normally wish the worst on Derby week in week out - but I'd like to see them escape this year. After all, a season without an A52 derby is not really a real season (except we're going up ... )
