Redstart Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 I thought Sheffield would be right up there this year, especially with parachute payments etc etc. 4 games in and they only managed their first league goal in the 92nd minute today and then conceded a winner in the 94th. This at home to the mighty Huddersfield They spent £24m on Brewster last year and he hasn't scored a single league goal for them yet. That's a serious waste of money. Perhaps things aren't as bad as we think down the Gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Speaking of teams struggling I see Shrewsbury under Cotterill lost again. Yet to score a goal also. I don’t know what their expectations are as a club this season and I get the impression they had a weak/small squad to work with. I’m sure Cotterill can turn it round for them given time. Would be good to see him succeed there after the time he’s had recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Londoner Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Historically Fulham under Jokanovic always started slowly before clicking into gear and building momentum combine that with a team who like us got used to losing I see Blackpool came from 2 down at Bournemouth to draw 2-2, whilst frustrating maybe our draw wasn’t as bad as it seemed at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokanovic apparently said in midweek he needs 6 players before the deadline closes, but he’ll settle for a minimum of 5. Bearing in mind that is only 10 days away & they have the massive advantage of parachute payments, plus have many of last season’s side that played in The Prem, their preparations for this season have been totally shambolic.

Bedred31 Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 Excellent- they’re actually a decent club (Sharpe aside) with decent fans, but it adds some potential interest and unpredictability. At this (admittedly early point) Fulham and WBA are 1 and 2 and Norwich are rock bottom of the prem, suggesting another season of parachute payment yo yo yawn fest.

To be fair to Norwich , when the fixtures came out as Liverpool home , Man City away they weren’t expecting to be top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet he will be keeping a very low profile at the moment. Either that or giving Portman Road another lick of paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their manager makes slow starts at new clubs. Nothing to panic about yet for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't like to admit it but Covid probably took a lot out of him. I'd really like to see him do well there and I think he will. Hope the board don't make any kneejerk decisions.
