Popular Post Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted August 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2018 Five of the most important components of this squad (Bolasie, McGinn, Grealish, Kodjia and El Ghazi) probably haven’t even been on the same training pitch together as yet. We’re obviously trying to build team with the capability to attack and score goals. We were the third highest scorers last season and I can see us being there or thereabouts again. It’s easy to sit here grumpily moaning that we’ll be negative but I’m happy, given the players signed, to wait it out and see. My one concern is the defence. I’ll be disappointed if Bruce fails to sign another decent centre back. The defence could easily end be our undoing this season and not our goalscoring. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Wolves and Newcastle LOST games in their first five league games, whereas we haven't. Strange opinion.

I guarantee that absolutely no one on here will use it as further proof that Bruce’s style of play is negative. They probably won’t, anyway. Good idea, I'll give it a shot! Thanks EDIT: Genius!

Have said on numerous occasions that I'd take another playoff final right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof hearted Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We'll storm this league. 100 points club here we come! (On my third pint, will edit later calling myself a bell end so don't shoot the messenger, ta!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I was optimistic a month ago, and am more so now. in my view we’ve better players, and a bigger threat, than last year, I think we are stronger, JT is a loss, but we’ve improved elsewhere. Still Top 2 for me ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have a guy who knows what he's doing and the players who have bought into it, completely different kettle of fish. We're doing something right if the rest of the league are hoping for 'burn out' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the rest of this same league are the same folk bitching that we are able to sign players etc. shitting it we will mount promotion. Football is a funny old game.

Both Wolves and Newcastle LOST games in their first five league games, whereas we haven't. Strange opinion. You will lose games this season. The difference between you, Newcastle and Wolves is possibly that you have done more to boost morale and therefore gain momentum earlier. I'm not predicting it but it could be that you go on to have a better season than both. Bielsa is my favourite manager in the world. You have Hernandez who is possibly the best Attacking Midfielder in this league even at 33 (yes I know it's Grealish before you shoot that gun VT'ers, I said 'possibly'). Aside from that I don't know a whole lot about your team, even under Bielsa, as I haven't watched you yet this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's only natural I hope you tank, but many were saying Cardiff would fade last season and it never happened. Good luck to yers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 After witnessing that horror show of the first half we are a long long long way from promotion. We look like strangers on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
