    Forsters injury (prob. whole season) together with schneiderlin, clyne and toby leaving means more than 1/3 of our 1st team have gone.

    I know last season showed its important to keep the faith but again we've lost our best players.

    Can we get away with it / improve again?

    I do believe it will be tough, however I will be there supporting them and trusting them to be giving it their all.

    We March on.

    Totally agree, FLT. The alternative is ...?

    I know we'll be ok because we'll recall Jack Cork from his season long loan at Swansea.

    Otherwise we'd be in serious trouble!

    I think the only person I worry about replacing is Schneiderlin tbh.

    I'm by no means pessimistic but there is always the worry that our luck in replacing key players with cheaper but in some cases better alternatives, will run out. It's a testament to the scouting department I guess. That said, Ronald and Les have so far been on the mark with signings so there are reasons to be confident. Certainly makes it exciting.

    I'm going to wear my League One Schneiderlin printed away shirt today and today only before I fold it up and store it away.

    Of course we can. If we get Jordy and a couple of others. Keep the faith.

    I'd be massively surprised if we do any where near as well this season as we did last, i honestly belive this is going to be a tough year but i don't think relegation is an issue so i will fully enjoy the season without too much expectation.

    I believe we will win the Premier League, the League Cup, the FA Cup, and of course the Europa League. I'll go on believing it until such time as it's no longer possible.

    Unless we bring in another half a dozen decent players we will struggle to keep our place in the league but don't expect to end up below 10th place

    Yeah can't see it being as good as last season but we still have the spine of a good team and if we get our rumoured signings we should be strong again...Don't think we'll challenge the top 6 but I believe we'll finish 8th-10th*

    Half a dozen? I'd say another 3-4 players. CB, CDM, CM, and one other.

    I think we leaked the limit of what a club of our size can achieve this season, so we would have always regressed slightly anyway. At least this way is more exciting. I'm much more positive this preseason than last personally.
