Porto Red Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Personally I have a lot of love for our current manager. I just think he's perfect for where we are now and where we have been over the previous few seasons. I imagine that he inspires similar levels of devotion in the playing squad and am filled with perhaps more than the usual August optimism https://www.bcfc.co.uk/video/interviews/pearson-previews-season-opener-3/ 11 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main thinking has been 10th with a play-off tilt for a while but we're in a similar ballpark.

Interesting, so you think the squad is worth £25 million up front guaranteed and gets us a seat at the negotiating table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyCity Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 As with every season, I expect we’re going to get promoted. This expectation will start to diminish from Saturday onwards but will remain quite high until Christmas. From there, it will free fall to thoughts of relegation but will bounce to lower mid table albeit with an uptick in the last few games that resets the expectation cycle for next season. 2 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant summation. If I didn't know better, that reads like one of Nick Hornby's "football as a metaphor for life" monologues.

Garland-sweden Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 First season for a long while Im honestly optimistic. Think we got the chance to be top six. As NP says we are more fit and it can make we do less errors. Long season but with hard work and some luck we can make it. Not gonna be a walk in the park, he he.

How can we be sure that your optimism this time, above, is not just more of this dishonest optimism you have, we now know, been fooling us with for years?
