ITFC_Keane Hi folks
Good to be back on here. Haven't been on while you were in the Prem, 'cos the last person you'd wanna see on here is another Championship fan...
I'm glad Jay Tabb has signed for us, because he seemed to fit the Mick McCarthy way last season. I'm a lot more hopeful than I was that we'll finally break into the top 10 this season, especially as Mick seems to know what/who/how he wants to play.
I enjoyed Reading in the Prem last season. Genuinely gave it a good go, and for a few weeks there you were on fire! Goals and drama in every game, and apart from staying up, you can't ask for more.
How do you rate your chances next season? I personally think you'll be top two with Wigan. The parachute payments and the fact you seem to be keeping the majority of the squad bodes well. The league hasn't improved while you've been away alas. If anything, the bottom clubs are catching up with the ones who've been here for eons, like us. Still, for drama, passion and hoofball, you can't beat it.
Best of luck!

^ and I still believe, him and Hunty are what we need around next season...but never mind.Tilehurstsouthbank Glad he's found himself a club where he gets regular football. One of the nicest guys in the game and a 'Model Pro' to echo previous comments.

I really wouldn't write QPR off. Ok, they're in disarray at the moment but they have quality and money. At worse they will be the same as when West Ham went down.

Ian Royal The same assumption that saw them think they wouldn't be in a relegation fight in either of the last two seasons?

Maguire To the casual observer it looked like Ipswich improved a lot toward the end of last season. No shot at the p/os this time?

New Blue Tabby believes both Town and former side Reading will be in the hunt for promotion to the Premier League next season
Jay Tabb says that half the Championship clubs will believe they can win promotion next season.
The midfielder has agreed to join Town in a two year deal on July 1 as a free agent after leaving Reading and considers both his new club and his former one amongst the teams that will be hoping to feature in the leading pack.
“The Championship is a very competitive league and there will be a lot of clubs with high expectations,” Jay told the Club website.
“You are probably looking at 12 or so clubs who feel they can go up and obviously I’d like to think we are amongst them.
“We have a manager with a proven track record, a good set of players and there is a good feeling about the place.
“I’d expect my old club Reading to be up there competing as well. I had four great years there and they probably gave me the highlight of my career when we won the Championship and then going on to play in the Premier League.
“It didn’t work out for them in the end and relegation will be hard for the club to take but I’m sure they will bounce back and I’m looking forward to playing against them next season.”
