Looks like they're promoted. When we signed Cyrus as a replacement for Fredericks who was leaving, I thought it was a smart signing, but it didn't work out for him, he wasn't PL level, but not for want of trying.

Didn't Cyrus make a sizeable donation to a Just Giving page, or a chairty thing?

I can't remember the details but he definitiely did something along those lines.  Seems like a thoroughtly decent bloke.

His third play-off medal at least - unless he has others as well! Signed about the same time as Mitrovic at end of 2017/18 winter window. Came on as a sub in Wembley wins against Villa and Brentford - and yesterday - so was in the same matchday squad as Fredericks who did leave that summer. Remember his great winner against QPR under Scotty - think that was his only goal for us.

Never forget that tackle. Honest hardworking pro - who loves playing . Always had time for him as his attitude was top notch.
