The Pozzo family own Udinese and Watford and they used to own Granada in Spain too. All a bit dodgy really.
Sorry but a terrible transfer window has bought us a 1 way ticket to Div1. Cannot see anything but an Ipswich win, in fact I see us getting a pasting!! 1-4 is my prediction. I also have a sizeable bet on the away win. We are doomed lads. Bart
Hard to be confident that we can get a result at all at the moment. The new players might have a good impact but i dont think we can expect too much of a journey man keeper and more young players from other clubs, though lua lua should be a good option in this league. But theres no doubt in my mind we are weaker now than we were in December and we were ****e then. If ipswich have anything about them they will beat us.
At least now we've got a keeper of the same standard that every other team in the league has. We've lost so many points from the Steele and Ruiter comedy double act. We're also building some team spirit which we've had exactly none of since Sam left.
Team spirit can, and has done for many teams in the past, provide amazing things, even if only in the short term. This I believe will be our hope, and could really be possible with Coleman building it up
I can't help it I'm an inveterate optimist ( though subject to occasional bouts of depression) so I am well up for a result this week-end I think the back six pick themselves all being fit of course:- acmp Browning O'Shea Clarke-Salter Matthews Oviedo Robson Cattermole Ejaria Fletcher Asoro/Maja I've a feeling Honeyman is being overworked not necessarily physically as much as mentally Thus some form of R & R would be good Lua Lua with whichever of the two I put as Fletchers partner doesn't get a start would be readymade subs for the one that plays at 100% from the off thus needing to come off.with 20/25 min to go.. Three new boys in, virtually a brand new spine but what the heck it could be a new genesis for us. KTF
I mean that's pretty much all that the other teams in the league have. Even the supposedly good sides are badly lacking in quality, but they've all got team spirit and it gets them through. If anyone can bring them together it's Coleman, we all think he's great, the players will too and they'll listen to him.
Why have cardiff let camp come to us if he's as good as the other keepers in the league. He might be better than ruiter and steele but we shouldn't expect him to be any better than average. We're frequently told there is a good team spirit its not going to stay like that unless the results improve though.
Average is fine, it means we're on par with the other sides. We may have often been told we have good team spirit but the fact is we haven't since Allardyce left. With my own eyes I'm seeing it coming back under Coleman.
I've a feeling Honeyman isn't physically up for it. Tidy player but weak as p iss. Wouldn't get in any other teams in our league. Same as Gooch.
My message to the doom-mongers that come on here...go and f*ck yourselves....give CC a chance with the players that he has got. I see tomorrow as another step in the right direction....a win for the lads!!!! 2 - 1 Fletch both
That behind the scenes video that Tees posted on the other thread makes me feel confident. Coleman looked happy with his business and the lads coming in looked like they were up for the challenge. I've seen Fletcher play for West Ham a few times and he always looked very good. A bit raw, but very good.
