Bluebird Hewitt Posted August 5 Posted August 5 I'm cautiously optimistic so far for this season. Bulut seems to be making the right noises in the transfer window so far with Willock, Chambers and El Ghazi signed on free transfers, and Kanga on loan (with Alex Robertson from Man City looking likely as well). While we've had a nasty triple injury blow with Etete, Collins and Isaak Davies out for roughly 2-4 months each, we should be ok. So watch that optimism go out the window when Sunderland twat us 3-0.

From what I've heard that seems like at the moment mate Quote

Administrator Stan Posted August 10 Author Administrator Posted August 10 Leeds battering Portsmouth and ended up going behind in the break. Hit the bar 3 times in first few mins. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted August 10 Author Administrator Posted August 10 Oxford beating Norwich, with ease by the sounds of it. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted August 10 Author Administrator Posted August 10 Portsmouth win a penalty in the last minute. Scored! 3-2. What a win for Portsmouth should they hold on... Quote
Administrator Stan Posted August 10 Author Administrator Posted August 10 Aaronson should be burying that chance to win the game Quote
Dave Posted August 10 Posted August 10 That Leeds game was a fantastic advertisement for the new Sky Sports deal. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted August 10 Author Administrator Posted August 10 Louie Barry just scored an audacious lob Quote
Administrator Stan Posted August 10 Author Administrator Posted August 10 Birmingham have been horrendously bad. Quote
Dave Posted August 11 Posted August 11 Watched MK/Bradford and Birmingham/Reading after the Leeds/Portsmouth game. If this is the future of football in this country then I'm all for it. Bradford won through a very good strike but they were well organised against the best team on paper at this level. MK Dons need to figure out a way to get Kelly and Carroll in the starting eleven. Birmingham I thought were poor. The way they all pressed forward for Reading's goal was pretty comical, but managers will do this repeatedly to try and impress bigger clubs now given its worked for Russell Martin, Enzo Maresca etc. Spending all that money and having Bailey Peacock-Farrell in goal is a sorry state of affairs too. Worth mentioning I thought the lady on colour commentary in the Leeds game was good. If this new system is generating more jobs and opportunities for better commentators that are not set in there ways after years of being comfortable in spite of football evolving tenfold in the last 5 or so years then that's another good thing.

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted August 12 Subscriber Posted August 12 1-0 loss for us. We've got a few injuries and the Icelandic guy we signed went off injured during the match too. Only losing 1-0 against a team relegated from the higher division isn't too bad. Improved performances needed from a few whilst some showed signs of what they could bring to us. Quote
