I watched 1minute 35 seconds of that video and if those highlights are the best of him then what a waste of space. 1 min 35 seconds of passes that didn't result in goals and shots that were well wide..

Hope I'm wrong and that further on in the video there's something worth seeing but I'm not wasting any more time watching that.

Sky Sports reporting we’ve agreed 12 months loan with Bournemouth for Sam Surridge who scored eight goals in 15 appearances for Oldham Athletic last season before returning to Bournemouth where he featured twice in the second half of the season

Bit of a worry putting Ayew back into our first team squad, not sure this is a good thing, hope we off load him soon, better for all concerned. If it doesn't happen due to his poor games out on loan then I think he should just be used off the bench as an impact player and nothing more, could be a disruptive influence in the dressing room..............<ok>

What has impressed me is the way we have brought players in. Two weeks ago after players left i was certain we will be in trouble and fighting another relegation battle and there was not much to look forward too, But today it is a different ball game in that we now look a proper strong championship side with plenty of options and we look more of a top half pushing for a top 6 place than a bottom half fighting relegation side,,, We have hope now when it never looked that way two weeks ago....What fans must accept it may take a short time for Cooper and his playing staff side to gell the players and i'm sure we will be a formidable side very hard to beat......Relegation is no longer on my agenda anymore and promotion is a more stronger possibility now...COYS...

Dai you really should have more faith , the squad may not be good enough to go up bit I'm confident its good enough to finish mid table looking upwards rather than down.

I don't have the blind faith that others have. Yes we have made some signings, but I have no idea if they are any better or worse than what we've already got.
The 2 attacking players we've signed this week - one of them I watched the video and he was extremely average to poor, the other I know nothing about. The Goalkeeper - I watched the highlights of the Hull match and whilst he may not have been to blame for the goal, it was something he should have saved I feel.
I hope they all work out and make us a strong team, but I just can't forecast where we'll finish until I've seen them play a few times.
With the loss of Dan James I still feel we are weaker than last season, at least until I see a few games with what we've now got.

Its not so much blind faith but trusting those who get paid the money to scout the players we need. I agree as an an attacking intent taking Ollie and James out then atm we do look weaker although goals will come from elsewhere this season as I believe that's Coopers mantra , defensively I don't think so, we've brought in a recognised left back so instead of Grimes being wasted playing there , we now have four full backs, Naughton , Roberts , Bidwell and John , centre halfs of Rodon, VDH, Wilmot and Harries along with 3 keepers and an option to bring Benda back (although unlikely) going forward we're probably stronger this year than last season but as you say hard to judge yet where we'll finish but I'm confident it won't be bottom 3

“Hearing Spurs defender Cameron Carter Vickers is heading to Stoke City. Fee about £6m. Lots of interest from Championship clubs.”
