I mean Forest were nowhere until Cloughie. But the reason to reply is that I think it's better when the clubs in the league are spread around the country - North East + Yorkshire, North West, West Midlands, East Midlands, London, The South. Even the South West if Bristol City or Rovers ever sort themselves out. But Sunderland, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, the Manchester and Liverpool Clubs, Villa, Wolves, Derby, Forest, Leicester, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and a handful of others from the likes of Stoke and West Ham and Albion and Bristol...ought to spread it around and make it a game where everyone in each area has a relatively local club to watch and support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted September 24, 2020 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2020 After Malinovski from Atalanta as it looks like the De Paul deal won't be happening. Be a very smart window if we get a good CM to top things off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The only risk with leeds is they ard signing so many new players it could go tits up like it almost did with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 If you look at their signings, Meslier, Rodrigo, Llorente, and Koch are really the only new ones that will be regulars, the rest have either been brought for the U23s or were already with them last season. If anything you could argue that they still need to strenghten their first team furthermore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB, CM, CF. We were lucky that we only have to add to the squad as opposed to any big changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair. A bit like Villa being well on track to win every league game without conceding a single goal. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 To be fair, starting the season well usually means you're going to do brilliantly. I for one will never forget Rudy Gestede powering in a fantastic header to beat Bournemouth on the opening day of the 2015/2016 season. Can't remember what else happened that season, I assume it all went swimmingly. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Important 3 points that. They need as much as they can gather before they inevitable collapse later in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
