Re: How hopeful are you of an instant PL return

Can’t believe the pessimism of some of our fans, automatic promotion is the only target we should have. Yes, we’re a team in transition but we’ve removed a large number of ageing players and replaced them with young, keen lads who will be desperate to do well. Couple that with a manager with the re...

Re: How hopeful are you of an instant PL return

Clearly it will take time for our squad to gel together but the potential is there. I expect a slowish start but steady improvement as the season progresses. Whether or not this means a promotion push or not who knows but teams last year came from well behind to fill in the play off places. What is ...

Re: Transfer Rumours Thread - NO FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

The window may have 7 weeks to run, but our 1st game is only 18 days away, so ideally we'd have a new proven forward in by then. It's been a decent window so far, but no better than simply replacing lots of the quality which we've lost, and many of our signings are relatively unproven at this level...
