bobzy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I was so wrong. We have played Stoke, Newcastle and Hull - two of the games at home. These three teams scored 45, 43 and 38 goals last season. Let's wait until we have played some proper teams over time before we start celebrating our acquisitions? Most people expected Senderos to be garbage and backup at very best and he's been anything but. We may well ships goals against the better teams but that will be because, guess what, they're the better teams. Doing well against similar/poorer level teams are what we should really be improving on and, against teams who we struggled to beat last season, we've looked good. Senderos has been a part of this improvement and I'm surprised at how well he's done/how quickly he's settled in. Haters will always hate, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problem during Lambert's tenure has not been our performances against "proper" teams. Absolutely. My baggies supporting pal just said the same to me when talking about our next 5. We'll probably win a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Boy,I had to look at that picture far too long to figure it out. Jelavic has his hands on his hips. Hutton's arm is around Cissokho. (probably shopped.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd last season's team fare against those 3? Not being sarcastic, genuinely can't remember. But I'll bet it's a bit of an improvement. We're picking up points where we wouldn't have last year and senderos has played his part there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than doubled our return and conceded 4 less in the process. That's am improvement in my book. If we equal every other result from last season from here on in we'll finish about 12th Edited September 1, 2014 by P3te Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted September 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2014 If he wants to meld with our defensive line, he needs a nickname: - 'Concrete' Ron Vlaar - Carlos 'The Rock' Sanchez - Phillipe 'insert nickname here' Senderos Any suggestions?

lexicon Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I went with Senderlols when we first signed him and I think I'll continue referring to him as that, especially if it's to remind myself that I was wrong about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
