Zatman Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Newcastle game tonight proved what we all knew, teams are going be absolute fired up playing us and Newcastle. It will be their cup final so we better have right attitude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I thought it showed that Newcastle really aren't all that. If our players give anything above 90% this season we'll piss this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Norwich should be the favourites to go up given their squad & recent signings. But they just aren't fashionable. Pritchard, Maddison, hoolahan, Canos, Naismith, Klose, Jarvis, would all enhance our squad not forgetting Brady if they can keep him. Their squad IMO is a whole lot more balanced than ours at present. Would love to have their midfield options. Saying that, we are hopefully only. 3-4 signings away from having a squad capable of mounting a challenge to win the league and have faith (blindly) that Dr X will make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Automatic promotion place already, and Newcastle bottom of the table, great start! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStagMan Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 ^ Yeah, but we have been top of the table for a couple of months now. Fulham just overtook us. Now we have a three point gap to close, but we do have a game in hand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Brighton only lost 5 games last year and didn't get promotion. We are a level lower yes, but we aren't going to go from winning 3 Games to only losing 3-5 Games in this short a period of time. I fully believe promotion is out of our reach this year. A year to rebuild and not losing key players (unlikely) and we may be ready next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) lets see how we perform tomorrow.. and see how our squad ends up at the end of the window. Watching Forest V Burton. Quality of defending is so poor. Forest looking sharp though EDIT: Burton score haha Edited August 6, 2016 by KSV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting promotion this season would represent a spectacular turn around in such a short space of time. Even if we were to go on a long winning streak, you worry about the mentality should we take a couple of beatings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them saying they'll win the league without losing a game! Rather they have that pressure than us! Well they couldn't have been more wrong now could they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth have you managed to lose money betting on Villa- matches? Should have been pretty easy to predict the results recently. (Anyway, how about 52/1 on Joe Bennett first goalscorer tomorrow?)

mikeyp102 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Just watching the Championship. If it keeps like this all season we'll fit in perfectly as no one can defend (I know it's not about promotion but don't know where else to put it).

Johnnyp Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think tomorrow is as tough an opener as we could of got. They are at home. They have only ever got better under carvahal. Lost nobody, added pudil, abdi and fletcher. I'd love us to go out there and just **** boss them, be a real statement. Wednesday could go the other way too, how many times have you seen beaten play off finalists have a hangover the following season. Also, let's not see this place descend into anarchy tomorrow evening should we be beaten. Perspective. We were relegated with a woeful showing last year. Assembling a new team. Takes time but we are doing the right things i feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 To be fair, I think it depends on the manner of the defeat. If it's another collapse, showing utter mental weakness, then yes, it probably will all kick off on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
