Forest LB went to sleep there

 

2-0 Villa

 

Scary the difference to the standard to the championship like. The pace is outrageous

 

Its no suprise that most (if not all) promoted sides struggle when they go up. It doesn't seem to matter how much they piss the championship by they will still find it tough. These lads in the PL aren't just good players, they are absolute athletes.

When forest first went up a few season ago they spent about £120m on an entire new squad (apart from Yates) and finished 4th bottom. It's crazy.

 

You say you go home and away to games and if you do fair do' s to you. But when I did that, I'll argue against anyone who had a bad word to say against Sunderland. If they said Sunderland played **** in the rain, I would say the opposite. All I care about is how Sunderland do, yes I'll recognize whas going on around us but I wouldn't say ANY team were better than us. How times have changed

 

All home games, 80% away, wasn’t there today

I love Sunderland more than I could explain, those who know me would back it up

I don’t believe we’re as good as the sides above us. Not particularly keen on our style of play and don’t like how tight our games are, especially against poorer opposition. We’ve done well overall though and I’m happy about our season (honest )

 

We'd need at least 8 new starters.

Bellingham, Neil and maybe Cirkin/Hume are the only ones capable of competing at the moment.

 

The difference is experiencing and squad size.

 

I was thinking a minimum of 6 plus probably 4 more for the squad.

 

I think they club would take a big payday for Rigg if it means keeping hold of Jobe. The promotion money + Rigg sale to invest might give us a chance.

New keeper
New RB
X2 CB minimum
New LB
New RW
X1 CM
New LW
And a starting Striker

 

Wouldn’t be confident at all with Cirkin and Hume starting in the PL mind

Love them both, just don’t think they’re ready for that level yet. The pace and power up there is ridiculous

 

I think we need investment elsewhere as a priority. Cirkin has it in him to step up IF he can stay fit.

I do wonder how much of his injury record is due to his off the field lifestyle.

 

I think Hume would adjust to Premier league football in a short time scale...he is a good player with a great football brain

 

No doubt about that, starting with the GK.

 

Get what you’re saying but his lack of pace would see him struggle imo. He couldn’t handle it against the Mags last season (none of them could mind)

 

I see the club going down the route of buying with a view of coming back the following season.

 

Waiting on Villa win with both teams scoring

Forest goal soon, please

 

PSG won their league today

Still unbeaten with 23 wins from 28, 5 draws
