No go and win the league on Saturday.

Would like to know peoples thoughts on Aleksandar Mitrović, absolutely tears the championship apart but rarely performs in the Prem. Will next season be the one? Or will he never be able to make that transition

I remember the Fulham team that went up before walked the league and just failed in the prem, maybe it’ll be different this time but is it really that hard for amazing champ strikers to make the step up? Is the gulf between top half prem defences and the top champ defences really that huge.

I think it is different player by player. Some seem to thrive in the higher league, some it's a step too far. Maybe more a mental thing than ability?

Definitely. They have a record to go for too.... goals scored. They are now within 10 of when man City went up. 

Just as long as they score them all against Bournemouth.....

I reckon he will do well next year, not 40 goals obviously more like 15 but that would be good enough to keep Fulham up, they will have a much better manager than they did last time in the PL which will help, suspect Silva has worked on his game.
I guess there are some similarities to Grabban who never made it in the PL too but I think Mitro is a bit better all round than Lewis and he has clearly upped his level.

No Forest players in the Championship Team of the Week after beating West Brom 4-0.

No one likes us we don't care.

In all fairness it did turn into a practice match in the 2nd half.

2nd half took me back to the Warburton days with the way we were passing it around with no intent.

Except they were fortunately 3-0 up.

Big spending Nottingham Forest.

Think Mitrovic will do fine next season. Wasn't Scott Parker the manager in prem? Say no more.

How the hell do Stoke, a bang average midtable club for the past 4 years end up with a squad costing 145 million?
What hell awaits them?
