    I think a few of my questions don’t relate to the window closing? I’m asking more about the present and not loaded just genuinely curious as to how anyone’s seeing positives right now.

    We finished 4th two seasons ago, last season we finished 7th despite horrendous injuries and we’ve got 4 out of 6 points this season!
    Tell me why I should be even remotely negative?

    For the reasons I mentioned via the medium of questions?

    Remind me after the window closes and I will give my honest view.

    We aren’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination but how it impacts upon the season does depend upon who, if anyone, we buy. Until the window closes there is opportunity to improve. That’s why I’ll hold fire on commenting until the window shuts.

    Lolz.

    4 points from 2 games is pretty good, more than we had last season and the same as the season before.

    Are we going to get one of these threads every two weeks?

    We have not been playing very well but have 4pts. According to all the pundits that’s a mark of a good team so I am happy.

    Next week will be a big test. Anything less than a thrashing of Spurs will be a downgrade from the last two seasons but a sneaky 1-0 with a disputed goal would be quite funny.

    The points will either prove hard fought points playing badly or 4 lucky points over the coming weeks and months.

    It could go either way very quickly.

    Need a winger, have tried to sell Almiron twice, bloke comes on against Bournemouth and doesn't touch the ball. Now we're told Almiron will play a part in this season, against what appears to be everyone's wishes. What kind of ****show is that?

    We haven't signed a player on the right side of attack since Rafa was in charge.
