    Highlights are up.

    I know the standard of oposition is unknown pre-season (HSV played 2 games in 2 days so must have split their squad) and we're chopping and changing, but there definitely seems a different intent in the style of play.
    I can't imagine Erol playing this style pre-season then telling players to revert to last year's style for the first league game.
    The players seem on the same wavelength as well.
    Not getting carried away, but positive signs.

    Is this still the Championship thread or the pre-season thread?

    The pre-Championship season, Championship thread?

    We're clearly all just champing at the bit to get going now.

    I keep getting confused as to where to look for things. I didn't know whether to post here or the transfer thread.
    Couple weeks and it won't matter as the season will be under way.
    Hope the transfer thread gets a bit busier soon. A good start that needs to be built on.

    I thought the Championship thread was set up to talk about the activities of other Championship clubs.
    I shall be writing in the strongest terms to whoever is in charge of the Civil Service about this.
    On the other hand, I guess if I really felt that strongly about it, I could have started a pre season thread.

    Sparkey neglecting his duties and letting standards slide.

    Maybe ask him to start a pre-season thread and separate out all the relevant posts. A bit more interesting than merging threads.

    Anyway, not much to report anywhere at the moment. Very quiet.
    If other teams were splashing the cash, at least we could have a whinge about Tan and Bullut.

    They've been whinging about a lack of transfer activity. Until yesterday it was 12 out and 3 in.
    I think they are more where we were last year. Numbers are needed.
    This last one looks interesting and could be a diamond in the rough.

    They have a horrible habit of picking up unknown players who succeed some of whom they flog for bucket loads~

    Bony, Michu, Sinclair, Mawsom, Gomez, Piroe, Siggurson, Vorm, Clucas, Downes, Cork, Fabianski, Williams, Shelvey etc

    Plus from their own stable they’ve cashed in big time ~ Davies, James, Rodon, Allen etc

    So let’s hope this latest crop of newbies are flops<whistle>

    It is something to be envious of.
    Developing players, bringing youngsters through.
    For some time something we've only been able to dream of.

    Very interesting Masky.

    Fast forward to 26 minutes to hear about Cardiff.

    They have us finishing 18th and that includes our signings to date and the likelihood of Alex Robertson signing.

    Needless to say, I disagree and think we can push for a playoff place.

    17th. Benjamin has no faith in the owners and unless Bulut has a “a hot hand” he can’t see where we’re really going as a club.

    I'd put us finishing above where we were last year. Top 10 with a chance of top 6.
