xerox6060 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Over the shock and drama of the last day...and I now think LJ has made some good bold decisions ....could take a while to settle but after that I'm quite positive for a top 6 challenge.

Redrascal2 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 LJ never knew his best team last season, I worry how he will cope now with 11 new players especially with some of the players new to this country. The work of integrating them will now start in the season not in pre season. With the size of the squad ,he has a hell of a job on his hands and I am not too sure where we will end up.

adamski Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Expecting nothing until mid October, needs to form a team ...Lee will be hero or zero come Xmas ...really hoping for the latter. could be very entertaining early on...we will need a sense of humour and patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'm wondering if a lot of players have known they might be going over the last few weeks. That might explain the poor performances. Hopefully the club will find a way to get them focused now - although a few more might still be worried they might end up in L1 I guess!

reddogkev Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 3rd place and reach the play-off final. Beat Cardiff 1-0. Legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 A lot of unknowns, and quite a few new to English football. Centre back definitely a lot weaker, and it's the midfielders tracking back and covering that worries me. A lot of exciting talent with great potential, but likely to be inconsistent, and a bit painful at times this season once sides get the measure of us. See what Birmingham brings.

It simply will not happen overnight. how many of the additions will start Saturday. 4. Perhaps 5. New right back, the wonder kid, old Nagy, Afobe. Sammie ? You soon realise there is a job in hand. Fun times ahead Would be surprised if it’s more than 2 starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the one that I think they will give most time to settle in and see as a long term prospect. He’s very young, looks a bit slight and I doubt will cope with a full season so they will break him in gently. I wonder whether he will be the most expensive player outside of the Premier to play U23s?! Think we will all need to be patient with him although I can’t wait to see him play. The others are older and have more first team games under their belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn’t, but , against my better nature, I think we will get Top 6 . Its irrational but I think , from what I have seen - on YouTube - Massongo looks a star and Afobe , if he is ‘right’ could be a huge signing .

Out of his pie crust Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I haven’t a clue, so many unknowns, so will hazard a guess at 10th but have feeling it could be a roller coaster. In short: more of the same....can’t wait for next game ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 With a brand new team anything could happen! I'll predict a difficult first couple of months. An upturn in form mid-season. Goals still a problem. Lower top half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judda Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 4 hours ago, Bristol is red said: How does eveyone think we might do? I wouldn't be shocked at a slow start to the season, lots of new faces to integrate, so don't think it will be until the second half of the season we fully hit our stride. Strengthed and improved in vital areas only missing a CB, however Moore, Baker and Wright to fighting it out to play alongside Kalas is not a bad second option. A good number of exciting signings and on paper I feel this team is stronger than the one that finish last season. If we can get the best out of Afobe I feel we can sneak into the playoffs this season, so I'm going for 5th for us. Maybe like Swindon, Leeds will be promoted by Nov and then the City steamroller will come along.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
