Which isn’t to say we shouldn’t compete or to make excuses but let’s not think we have an expensive squad by PL standards. Brighton can afford loaning a 15million striker to the MLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn't have to use all the same players. I believe there is a transfer window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess we will lose one or two key players in the transfer window so our squad issues may become a little harder. I was thinking more of the whole coaching set up however. The question of drive, focus and resilience of our teams is majorly down to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if we have to buy an entire team or not, but we've all talked about that before and don't need to do it again. Anyway, the January transfer window in the Championship went pretty well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd lose Jack but signing say 4 good players would make a big difference to us. I think the lack of quality has a knock on effect on everything else.

Zatman Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I wonder would Premier League release the viewing figures. Standard is shit and cant see people watching other games unless a fan or it effects your team. Also seems buzz on social media is a lot less than was for Bundesliga starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 24, 2020 Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2020 Burnley worry me. They're the team that seem least interested in project restart - seven subs, two of which were goalkeepers, a half hearted performance, manager and chairman at odds, fans being utterly moronic - they're a busted club. They play Watford, West Ham, Brighton and Norwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Joe Hart, but that might be a positive for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder why we couldn’t have tried that last summer. I think last summer people don't talk enough about the deficiencies in the squad we came up with - numbers-wise we had half a squad, we needed a dozen players and when you need a dozen it's hard to invest in the quality you might like. We still have a fairly small squad and if we stay up, I think we'll need maybe half that number - if we stay up, I think we're in for a very interesting summer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we needed to sign multiple players last summer. This summer we won't need to add as many. I don't think it will be easy but our needs in the summer will be different and I think that's how we can improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how people are not getting this part. Hutton, Whelan, Jedinak, Elphick, Adomah, Chester regularly involved we would probably be still looking for our 1st win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the last 2 games I don´t think we have it in us to win against anyone currently, we don't see to be able to hold the ball at all in the oppositions half. We are miles off what is required to achieve a `Great Escape´, I just can´t see it at the moment. I would love to be proved totally wrong though.
