It is frightening to think he is that good surrounded by players that good and coached by one of the very best! I can see them running away with the league this year!
This is going to be a great fun season. No pressure to go up so we just enjoy the games, but we might well end up going up anyway, and would almost certainly be trafalgar square again.
Don't think @Prehab26 named the lad mind, checked back and the post naming the Wolves lad that I saw was OTR.
Just listened to the Speakman/Mowbray interview. Speakman still rubs me the wrong way when he speaks, very much "the fans are dafties and I know best" air to him. BUT, found myself agreeing with just about everything he said. One thing of note was his emphasis on how the club is constantly identifying and assessing transfer options: no more of this sitting down at the beginning of July and deciding who we should take a look at signing..
Someone said to me this morning that no player, since the premier league began, has scored a goal a game. He is on 9 in 5. If he continues that ratio he will knock Dixie Dean of his perch, never mind the premier league era lads. In all seriousness, why shouldnt he target 40 league goals. That would be immense.
Go on then, I will bite. How do you know that? Or are you just guessing? If rubbing them up gets performances like Saturday and Wednesday then he can run as much as he likes
Did you see the stat about quickest to score 2 hat trick in prem? Demba Ba was previous record holder with something like 21 games he has done it in 5! 40 is achievable for him in that team maybe more!
Fair enough, not like he deals with them day to day is it? Edit. Just for clarity is that All the players or a select few?
So the usual in any workplace where some people like their boss and some don't. Nothing abnormal then. Did some good business for the club this summer though
You can barely understand the man! There are a lot of things going right mind, and he should take credit. But the less you heard of him the better. " He was able to evidence his alignment with our values" That is part of what he said regarding TM's appointment, among other such similar stuff. Normal people just do not talk like that, and it would help if we didn't ever hear it.
