You’re a glass half empty kinda guy aren’t you Charlie?
It's called realism. We scraped promotion from the bottom division last season, have hardly changed the squad, with key members of that squad having barely had a pre-season due to injury, and on top of that we've sold our only goal threat and not replaced him. Yet the expectation on here and on social media is that we'll challenge? This isn't an easy league to get out of as we know from our five previous seasons in it, and preparation is key and so far our preparation has been poor. I know Robin's aim is to get promoted again this season, he's said it multiple times, so that's the standard I'll hold him too and so far I've not been overly impressed.

Where’s he now a days? Or is he here as a City fan after being dismissed by Derby? :)

Reading. Their first game is Derby.

Squads hardly changed apart from the 10 new signings we have made.

Not this "we've made 10 signings" shite again. Half of the are for the u23s from the conference. We've made about 2-3 signings who are first team starters, 2 who are first team squad players and the rest are development.

Apologies that I'm not wanking myself silly over the signings of Zain Westbrooke, Bouwe Bosma and Morgan Williams. I'm sure they'll win us the league singlehandedly next season.
Well you've just told us what you're doing singlehandedly. Thanks for that!

Jesus. Nothing like a bit of pre season optimism. We haven't even started the season yet and fans are whining.
God help this forum if we lose our first game.

You can also add Andreu and Jones coming back from injury to add to last season's squad.

What would be the point though? Moody pants
It's called having a discussion. So far all anyone has been able to counter me with is insults and 'but we've made 10 signings'. If everyone else thinks we're having a positive pre-season and are looking good coming into this League One campaign I'd be interested to hear their reasoning. So far it seems to be blind faith.

Pretty sure the season we had Armstrong we won 0 games in pre season and he also had a shocking debut against Nuneaton. Pre-season means nothing.

Yeah but you’ve made up your mind. So what would be the point?

Mate, either report on the game or shut the fuck up I’m trying to get an idea on how it’s going. Cheers

Pre-season results mean nothing yes, but pre-season performance, squad fitness and team cohesion do and so far we're failing in all those areas.
