Pheasant plucker Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Absolutely Major. We are looking better year on year, and I've got to be honest in that, even though we've not got to the Premier League as yet (if ever!) I'm really enjoying the ride. To see so many of our players, both home grown or brought in and nurtured here doing so well, is a real credit to our club. Long may it continue!

We have a good base but we have not built on last season We HAVE built on last season. Our first 11 ALL belong to us. KP will be much better this year I'm sure for being our player and putting down roots. I'd also be VERY surprised if there are no more incoming in the comming days. To strengthen more, we first had to guarantee funds - Ala Webster because of FFP. Enjoy the ride my friend, sometimes the journey can be better than the destination!

Nathandao Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I am seeing a lot of people saying that we are in a worse place than last season. I see where you are coming from but don’t agree. We have lost one player from our starting 11 but strengthened in midfield and offence and signed on 3 players from Chelsea with a serious ambition of getting us to the premier league. The training camp had all players working on strength, fitness and endurance. I think we will be one of the strongest and fittest teams in the league. Exciting young talent in the form of Szmodics, Eliasson, and the new midfielder. I think this season is the season we will go all the way...

It’s too early to say if we’ve strengthened from last season in my opinion. I’m fully expecting several players to leave and one or two to join with permanent or loan.

Drew Peacock Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I agree the footballing set up is moving forward nicely but the supporter side can still be a bit dark age. For instance I went down to collect a Birmingham away ticket yesterday - four people in the ticket and collections office doing nothing, but I had to go into the shop where the staff are rushed off their feet, stand in a queue and collect the ticket from the shop. Very strange. And don't get me started on the IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I shall continue to enjoy tiny little victories, such as they are, and with that in mind, I hope you have a thoroughly miserable end to your weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Eliasson, Palmer and Smodicz can be very good this season. Weimann, yes I believe in him. Webster gone is not good but think we can be top six anyway. Always believe ,COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major - Ive posted several time previously that in the 50+ years I’ve been attending AG that from last season the club is in the best shape both on and off the pitch than it’s ever been - entirely down to SLs vision and financial backing of the club.

Support the poor skint debt ridden sags and then just go on your "rival" fans forum and slate that club for every positive decision they make. Very, very odd behaviour (or just plain sad), still at least you are not obsessed with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this kid from Monaco is a master stroke and hopefully Nketiah on loan Being greedy, cover for left back would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker and Wright aren't consistent top six quality and asking Vyner/Moore to step in to that is risky. Our starting eleven hasnt improved at all with the loss of Webster, the year on year improvements of players like JDS, Eliasson, Brownhill and Palmer may help but having a stable spine up the pitch is massive in a team pushing for promotion and we certainly need to fix that sharpish.
