They both look sharp, its a very open game. I can see a few goals in this one.

Will be watching the Wolves vs Boro game online I am very interested to see how good these teams are and if they pose any threat to our season.

I reckon they will finish top 10.

I agree We need goals and different options of creating chances. I just cannot see this team scoring over 70 this season. We have not strengthened our attacking department. We will have the best defence. But scoring wins games.

Yeah pretty much The board do not want to hear any excuses. He will be out if does not produce the goods in the first 6. The board have learnt from RDM last season Crazy that we could have a new manager this time next month

You've made some very good points. I cannot argue with those to be fair. I would be more confident with one more attacking player.

I tell you what though. i wouldn't mind seeing that O'Hare kid he could surprise a few this season.

What i mean by an proper attacking midfielder is someone that can do the following; Break fast and able to find a player in a counter attacking situation. Comfortable enough to find a player whilst teams are sitting back. Someone who is confident in scoring. Basically an attacking midfielder that is confident enough to attack. Like Jota or Lawerence. Grealish should be that player but he isn't. The youngsters could impress but we will have to see.

Well i'm worried about Hourihane he just looks a shadow of the player he was at Barnsley. lansbury could get 7 and 8 easily. Grealish.. special on his day but he just doesn't know how to play to his strengths consistently.

I genuinely think that if we have a proper attacking mid and a target man then we are in a better offensive state than they are. I just don't think that Gabby, Kodjia & Hogan can score 70+ next season. But if they can then happy days.

I hope that you are right and we have the attacking force to take us back to where we belong.

I reckon he has 73 goals in him this season

lol wow Let's see what the season brings

The question is, do you think Boro are stronger offensively than us?

Gestede will deliver for them imo. He never fitted in with us because of our style of play. Adama has frightening pace, at this level he is going to torture a lot of teams.

We don't have the best attack in the league. We are struggling to score more than one goal in a game and we have not even strengthened our attacking department. They have Assombalonga, Gestede, Bamford, Adama, Braithwaite, Ashley Fletcher, Gaston Ramirez We have Gabby, Grealish,Kodjia & Hogan & Adomoah ( Sold to us) Our defence is stronger but we need goals.

Why do many of us feel that we have the best squad in the league? We have one of the strongest. Middlesbrough's squad is a lot stronger than ours imo.

We are still lacking goals and creativity

I can see Xia making an approach for Silva if we are in the premier league

I can forgive Lansbury for that miss, he has converted more penalties this pre season

Without a doubt Chester and Terry are cleaning up the attacks nicely.

We have the best defence in the league..

I think in a nutshell They are going to provide this club with the necessary tools & technology to fulfil some of our objectives and hopefully this knowledge and understanding would be something that this club would utilise after the partnership deal has completed. In return Hisense gain a greater exposure in the UK resulting in a newer demographic consumer & business wise and within football, rugby and other sporting industries. It does appear to be a good partnership for them. This could potentially help Hisense build more partnerships in the UK.

It appears that this man is having a serious impact to our commercial side . One of our main objectives at the start of last season was to have a real online presence. We now have just over one million followers on twitter. The youtube channel appears very active. The club seem to be supporting Villa view on youtube. We have acquired a few partnerships with the view over creating a better consumer (Supporters) experience. Renovation to the Directors box Marketing Campaigns in the city centre. There may be more that i have missed out. I like how Luke Organ is pushing us commercially and setting objectives like we are a premier league club during his short time. If you look throughout this league, the clubs have a very modest approach commercially. I know that this is a results game and it may mean nothing but one cannot be excited, especially if we get promoted. I would go far as saying that we are making a bigger stand commercially than some of the premier league clubs. If we do not get promoted I would not be surprised if a club like Everton or West Ham try to get him on board. Exciting times ahead... IF we get promoted

I have been saying this for a while. Didn't Bruce ship out Hourihane as a youngster at Sunderland?
