blunther Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Whatever happens, let's keep hold of this guy and try and stay behind the team. We're gonna get some drubbings, were bound to at least flirt with the relegation zone through the season. If the worst happens we'll still be in a good place for next season. We know we can be quite wuick to turn, let's try and lose that habit. We've all had a big dose of reality over the past three years and I think it's been good for our souls. I actually don't think any of the promoted managers will be sacked this year. If any of them do sack the manager then I think they've made a big mistake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I don't recall wolves getting any drubbings last season. I don't see why bottle job Villa fans are expecting us to go out there and roll over after Smith spent 120m. I want top 10 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor isn’t too bad defensively and I guess we may well be doing a fair bit of that this afternoon. Players need time to settle and if the coaches think that Targett doesn’t seem quite right then perhaps they’ve kept him back rather than throw him into the bear pit. Besides you never know when you might need a scapegoat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dudevillaisnice Posted August 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2019 Result aside I thought the first half performance was very encouraging. We lost our outball when Trezeguet got subbed (he also caused Rose so many problems) Jota didn’t really influence the game when he came on. But I’ve seen enough to suggest we can really give it a good go this season and cause many teams problems. Yes we conceded three but defensively we were fine I thought. First game and I was very encouraged by it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Spurs are levels above us so had to expect a gulf in class out there today... Quite a few positives, excellent first half where we defended very well but were also very good on the break. Second half we offered little going forward but still defended well until we gave some poor goals away, and then we unwound a little. Engels looks fantastic already, Trezeguet impressed too, Heaton an excellent signing, McGinn looks like he has played at this level before he was that comfortable on this stage, many of the others have to get up to speed, and fast. Ultimately it's unlikely we will get a lot out the top 4, it's all about how we do against our relegation rivals and 'bottom 12' sides, we're definitely going to be battling to survive this season IMO, all that outlay on players was necessary to just to give us a fighting chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I’m was expecting us to press more but we would of been absolutely thrashed if we did in hindsight. Overall we kept our shape and defended with more players to blood over the coming games quietly confident we won’t be fighting relegation and be a solid mid table club once we get used to this league. He made the right subs at the right time for me and he will learn a lot from this game I’m sure. Having Terry alongside him will be crucial IMO as he knows exactly what this league is about and has a winning mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
