We very simply aren’t prepared for the season to start.
Our team relies on team work and working harder than the opponents. Both things come with game time and prep.
Most of these prem sides rely on individual skill of some exceptional players, so while we are below our best we will struggle.
We have to hope Wilder can keep the lads positive, driven and full of desire because we will need them to keep the faith and keep going to start pulling some results out. We are desperate for a striker...at least one, and until we get that one we need to battle on. We hope Wilder and the team pull it out of the bag, but until that player/players arrive we are goi g to struggle.
And Wilder...and the team know this. But we just don’t have the funds to simply go out and pay the money to get the deal done, this is why all our transfers seem to take an eternity to conclude and why a fair few go elsewhere.
But keep real...not that long ago we were a big club in league one, picking up free transfers identified by Adkins....nobody above league one wanted the players we were looking to sign, and on top of that we had to sell our best young talent. I believe it will come, but we won’t have the season like last, and we will be in the relegation battle this season.
It is what it is, no point whining and ranting about it, if you want silly signings and spending beyond our means then maybe the blades ain’t for you. Villa/Fulham is south.
