Didn’t this team also win 3 of its last 6 prem games, after being given some slightly altered instructions by a different manager?
We'll see in August. But to expect a teamto be as miserable as United were for that long to suddenly turn back into a positive, winning side with no real additions is wishful thinking.
I do think we need some additions, but we’re being made out to be a team that’s gonna be scrapping for points, when we won 3/6 games at the end of the season… purely because we had a slightly change of approach, with slightly more attacking threat.
they never had a chance last season with a manager that played negative tactics every game and when hecky came in and tweaked things as wilder should have done we held our own so i will take it further and say our current squad will be top 6 and 3 or 4 good quality additions and we will be top 2 so many negative posters on here
A squad who's better players have played almost every minute for 3 or 4 years. 46 game seasons really test your players. Based on our last time in this league who do you think is going to be better. Because I'd say Bash, JOC (obviously), Stevens, Norwood, Fleck (too many injuries), Didzy, Sharp are likely to be worse or at least available a lot less due to age/injury.
I know you aren't referring to me as I'm happy with what we've got....however i will point out those bedwetting comments were constantly thrown at those worried about our plight last season.The only criticism in hindsight should have been bedwetting wasn't strong enough...bedshitting would have been more appropriate!!
This theory would carry more weight if the manager and back room were the same but I don’t think it will feel familiar or similar.
I'm not saying we are doomed. I am saying that the core of the squad struggled physically and mentally for the last 50 games and to expect players like Stevens, Norwood, Fleck, Sharp, Didzy, Bash etc to hit good enough levels for a 46 game is definitely a big gamble.
Might do but season kicks off 7th August so thats 3 weeks more to sign and fit additions in ... need new blood from START of the season!
Why do we? What makes it so important for us to make our signings before the team looks in an actual competitive setting?
Not as sure as you on the lads up top. I need to see it, especially from Brewster. He's not even shown half a season of competence yet.
We have all of those at this level, if they perform as they did two years ago.
It’s also highly likely that SJ will use the youngsters more, not just Jebbison but one or two others too. His record suggests he will be much more adventurous in that respect than we have been used to.
Haven't got the numbers and I don't rate a lot of yesterdays heroes
Like last season
Exactly although we’ve got even less depth now jags gone and Bryan not signed a new deal we’ve literally only got the starting 3.
You have a short memory in what those “yesterday’s heroes” are capable of. Also, you are right in that we don’t have the numbers to go all season with no signings - But why does that mean we NEED THEM ALL NOW OR WE’RE GOING DOWN OH NO!?
That’s true. Which is something I don’t think SJ will be putting up with.
think ben davies will be one that we bring in and probably 1 more centre back we should be ok if we bring 2 in and still think we might alternate between 3 at the back and a 4 there depending on the situation or the team were playing slav will be far more flexible than chris was
I think we’ll switch as well. I’d be comfortable with two and then either lopatta or Gordon as the 6th option.
Clapper - that midfield creates no chances + that backline gets stuffed by big attackers at every set piece
