    im not quite sure if it’s an advantage or disadvantage tbh

    sometimes I think, especially regarding ourselves, that we are probably at our best early season then the slumps always follow, more times than not. Our players don’t have true leaders so I tend to rely on their energy and hunger and our lot probably excited for the season start so imo our best chance to play our hoodoo teams n rivals on a psychological level and being up for it energy.

    Good thing that they aren't the sort of fanbase who will try to claim that is some kind of conspiracy against them...

    First away game at City, if they go deep into the club world cup, playing them early may be a good thing!

    Enough about him getting the jobs and then the boot.
    What about the fixtures ... ??


    "It’s quite a decently spaced out fixture list to be honest.
    Only November is a sort of a big game cluster with Chelsea, Utd and Arsenal in a row."

    I will "season compass" the fixture schedule
    (so you have the objective rankings truth of it) .

    Also note we have yet to be given the CL group stage fixtures.

    I wouldn't expect any different, but it's like listening to two politicians.
    Saying all the right things, yet it's all very cultivated and managed.
    It's unusual to hear from Levy like this though, especially prior to anything from Frank.

    If you take into account that we can stay in all the cups , we could have 19 games between the 1st week of December and the 1st week of February according to Ali Gold , Oye Baldie get that cheque book open pronto

    Just in time for the Africa Cup of Nations, which is in Morocco this year.
    We'd currently lose two players, but they're both midfielders, which isn't ideal.

    Nominal effort in the CL group stages
    (except to avoid humiliation by the "big fish" )
    means plenty rotation even with the current squad.

    Alfie Devine would surely benefit

    Given he reportedly does not want another loan, might be wise to get him up to speed

    Very different player though, from what I've seen of him.
    He'd be competition and backup for Maddison, assuming he's involved.

    He can play as both an AM and CM, as he often played deeper at Port Vale (and I think he did at Plymouth too)

    Definitely played CM for us in the few cup games we gave him, too

    For me, it clearly signals that COYS Daniel has no intention of removing his hands from any levers. VV is 'his man'...they're "joined at the hip" in this 'partnership' and Daniel's not done holding us back.

    So, more of the same...just as a double act, rather than with Daniel as a solo performer. VV is there to do the stuff Daniel doesn't care for, leaving Tenacious D free to do...

    ...something worth £3m a year (plus bonus)...:steam:

    All in all, it appears extremely disappointing...like the passing of the baton from one Tory leader, to another, who's going to make **** all difference to anything meaningful. A change in presentation is all.

    More Daniel, just hiding behind an ex-gooner shield.

    Fuuuuucckkk!!!

    exactly this

    Levy to me always gives off extremely uncomfortable energy when it’s to do with football talk…like he’s reading a script.
