I was talking to a Blackburn fan last night, they signed 6 last week. He doesn’t think they’ll trouble the playoffs but he didn’t think they are a mess
So… Sack the manager who achieved one of our top 10 highest ever finishes Return all the quality loans Employ a manager with no experience in our league and who has achieved nothing Sell our 3 best players Sell all our experienced goalkeepers Bin a shedload of squad players Recall a couple of loans (50% of whom don’t seem to have improved) Sign a couple of Ok looking players Play a clodhopping lower league team a week before the season starts resulting in injuries to your 2 players who were looking the brightest. Season starts in 6 days
We didn't start the fire It was always burning, since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it
At leastv You seem to have changed your tune howden. You seemed fairly upbeat even until the last few days.
he name of #JoaoCosta , on loan, is being mentioned in internal discussions at Hull City. The #Roma would like to put minutes in the young winger's legs, maintaining full control of the card and the good relations between the 2 clubs could help this potential option.
Competition for places is key. Can't have players like Jones and Slater walking into the team. Wouldn't ever question their commitment but they're not good enough players to not have to work their bollocks of to justify a place in the team.
When you put it like that… But while it’s far from a good situation right now, I’d argue the players we have brought in are better than ok. Tim Walter also looks promising for many reasons. One thing I like is that he gets annoyed when he should be, even in friendlies. If Acun can come out and make his stance clear, I still think we are going on to better things.
If you don’t rate a player that’s fine but don’t players to know how to mark , chase tackle and pass even if not organised and play in their position so we could still make life difficult initially .
I always said I'd keep my powder dry untill start of the season/end of window to give the club time to do what was needed as I had a fairly good idea of how the market would go for most this summer amongst other things going on, but with how poor we're looking going into the first game, the things I'm hearing re sale and the complete lack of transparency the club is showing.... I feel something isn't right/has changed. I still expect 2/3 before Saturday and even more before the close of the window. But as I say, something just doesn't feel right to me over the last week or so... Hopefully I'm completely wrong! ( It wouldn't be the first time )
I’m just really hoping Acun has taken a step back but still wants to build a good team. The signings we seem to be trying to make would suggest long term planning has begun and we have actually become a long term project
