[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

What not to do when you have plenty of time ? Go around other Champ teams forums to see how they foresee our chances and our signings this season.

With the exception of one or two isolated comments, fans from other teams aren't even mentioning us. The 3 relegated teams, Sunderland and Millwall are all certs for the playoffs and the autos. While QPR, Rotherham and Wednesday are surefire relegation fodder.

Otherwise, we are nothing, nowhere. Even the internet media aren't giving us a hope in hell of frightening the top bunch. Saw one comment on the Sunderland forum about the poster hating us and verbally deriding us, the first in a few weeks. But otherwise, we are the internet version of the Cowboy Western tumbleweed.


And I love it ! This under the radar approach we've developed will surely help the squad gel that much better and the fans will surprise a lot of teams, home and away with our passion. #PUSB

I don’t actually get the millwall - every time I see them they don’t seem spectacular - they’re just there and efficient

Stoke are going to be the overhyped, big spending flops again aren't they.

Well 2 of the 8 signings are michael Rose, 5th choice coventry defender .. and wesley , whose knees are broken

You can tell Stoke's owners work in a business that thrives off addiction rather than actually creating a product people want to pay for

The crack cocaine of the championship

Surprised they haven’t signed Todd Kane.

 

[fatso]

Stoke are going to struggle again, Wesley up front and Rose at the back, what could possibly go wrong?

Honestly pre season results count for nothing

Didn’t we have a shocker of a pre season when we won league one? Might be wrong

 

[Evo1883]

Apologies bolton beat West brom 4-3

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

It’s looking like Ward-Prowse will start the season with Southampton

 

[TomRad85]

Is there an article anywhere that breaks down the ins and outs of all the clubs? Feel its close enough to the start to do a decent prediction now.

21 goals in 91 games. Frightening

 

[junglej13]

I notice a lot of Stoke fans seem to think they might be in for Panzo as well.

I worry this comment will bite us on the arse

This was a surprisingly decent watch.

May as well sign Dabo and Kane as well

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Dont forget BNC and Bidwell

 

[no_loyalty]

Josh Maja has signed for West Brom.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Sunderland apparently in talks for Colin Dagba from PSG. Would be a pretty ridiculous signing for this level.

 

[skyblueelephant76]

Josh Bowler to Cardiff onloan

Cardiff sign Forest winger Bowler on loan

Cardiff City sign Nottingham Forest winger Josh Bowler on a season-long loan.

Not quite skint then

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sunderland 3-1 down at half time against Hartlepool. Looks a decent side out too

They started with a 16 year old in goal and most of their best players on the bench.

After the Stoke game at home last year, I thought they were certs for promotion this year. For the rest of the season they were great away and shit at home. Also, most of their best players were loans. Their manager got Sunderland promoted from L1 when loads had failed. Am I right in thinking he took Maddison on loan then hardly played him? Could go either way.

They seem to have unlimited funds every season so must surely hit on the right formula eventually.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Alex Neil is a good Manager IMO and will improve greatly on last season I think they will a force to beat if you want to go up.

Birmingham getting some investment it seems
