Love that there is a sense of optimism on here and it’s great to have some pessimists. But it’s all a bit of a lottery right now and will be for the next month and in that month we play a few games and may get nothing or could get a bunch of points. But we have no idea who is in our squad and we are 3 days away from kicking the season off. Meslier, Summerville, Adams, Gnonto, Firpo, Harrison, Hjelde, Sinisterra. These are fairly crucial names and we have no idea if they will be here in September. We have no idea how many players we are hoping to bring in. Basically we know fook all and Eire’s usual “See how we do in the first 10 games before I moan” thing is pointless this time around, so right now I’m pessimistic until I see progress or even a statement from Marathe
Risty predicted 17th last season so not too far off. Plus probably like myself he might have held back from predicting relegation as it's not something we wanted to actually be correct at.
Open quest To be honest I don't think it's pessimistic I think it's looking back over the summer and see what's happened and coming to a conclusion that many have come up with but again the fan base causes itself to split again with people who come up with ludicrous statement like have you seen our front t line. 'We'll piss it with Sini and Gnonto' and 'why would they want to leave Leeds' I don't think we'll make it in to the top 6. We have a bad run in August which we might having to play 3 teams that everybody has predicted to finish in the top 8. Confidence might be shattered by the end d of the window and we're scrabbling around for Wise mark 2.
Plenty of teams start well in the Championship and then finish nowhere. Last season QPR were almost relegated after being in and around the top 2 early doors and conversely Boro were right at the bottom and nearly won promotion. A little bit of understanding of what's required and involved in a 46 game season is what's needed and fortunately Farke knows all about that.
I’ll cherry pick Said we’d never finish top 6 with Bielsa PL Said Jesse would be bad for us Said 17th last season
Brings back happy memories that Jammy and Wakey will relate to this too. Back in the day if you hadn’t pulled in a night club until late, you went looking for a ten to two bird (10mins before lobbing out time) usually some fat bird or a munter
