I think the next few seasons we will keep finishing higher.

Ironically it's when we are challenging at the top that we may finish lower one season.

Like when we are mint we might finish 2nd one season but 4th the season after.

For now i think we will steadily climb.

I'm keen to see what they bring in... I don't want more Chris Woods and burns... It's possible they get it completely wrong and start signing ****e.. We'll see.. They did very well so far
 
They only brought the likes of Wood and Burn in because of the desperate situation to stay in the league.

That isn't going to be a problem anymore so we don't need to sign "players that know the league" which is just another way of saying "****e".

Oh I know mate they got it spot on, but does Howe want anything particularly fancy? He strikes me as the type that wants a squad full of woods before adding anything risky.

Howe is a text book manager and so far everything he's done has been by the book.

He could have signed another Wood or Burn for midfield but thankfully he went for Bruno, so that's promising.

Was horses for courses in January - Summer gonna be wilder than "girls go wild pt 3"

Eddie is currently running at 1.52 points per game since he took over and that'd would have us sat comfortably in 8th at present. Give him some quality additions and a 14 game head start on what he's had this year and we'll be flying.

He needs better players around him.

He did a good one two then looked up and there was no one to pass to, but he got a clever free kick in the end.

He's mint.

Hmmm I thought he got absolutely schooled. Good enough for this phase that's for sure though
 
He can't even play many killer passes because Wood just stands there and Max wants balls to feet before taking someone on.

Once we get a mobile striker who runs behind defences, Bruno will look even better, he will keep putting the striker in.
 
It's the same at all levels.

A good dribbler can stand out in a poor team because he can just take everyone on but a good passer needs people making the runs, so they will look better in a better team.

It's harder for a passer to do well in a bad side than it is for a dribbler.

He needs someone good enough to play along side him in cm... Longstaff Jesus christ he's nowhere near good enough. Joelinton isn't bad willock can be useful but all the rest are just absolutely waste men

Burns feels harsh, maybe only because he was such a dramatic improvement on our previous defensive options whereas Wood was a clear stop gap.

Have no bones with Burns being a mainstay next season with a pacey CB next to him
