Anyone else feeling massively deflated right now?
Last week I was buzzing for the new season...not so much anymore.

Nothing like building ourselves up to knock ourselves back down again.

I found MR's talk about incomings reassuring. Players always come and go. Jobello will be the new (poor man's) Tommy Hutch and all will be good!

Yeah I am. A comprehensive win will sort things out.

Not in the slightest, I will be more if we dont get anyone in next week, but think we have more than enough to beat Southend tomorrow.
Would much rather lose Bayliss than Kelly.
Robin's saying he wants 3 and it sounds like couple of those could happen in next couple pf days which helps.

Still positive.
Just a couple of forwards short in the first team from being a top six side IMO, and three players supposed to be coming in.
Got some decent U23s who might step up as well. And Robins hasn’t let us down yet.
Chaplin wasn’t fitting into the team and was good business, Bayliss was always going to go. As long as we sign these three or at least two of them I’m happy with the summer business overall.

Yep, we're back to finishing 17th if with the current squad:
Lack of goals
Lack of cover in midfield
Lack of creativity
Lack of optimism, all in front of tiny crowds in Birmingham. Grim.
Completely unconvinced by Robins' comments which seem to be contradictory. On the one hand he wants 3 players but on the other:
Should have held on to Bayliss until we'd agreed to sign replacements. It is pathetic.

At least 7 points from the first three games (if Bolton game is on), no problem.

Win 3 nil... all is good in the world!
Nil nil or lose 1 nil and miss 5 or 6 decent chances then misery central!

Not very optimistic at all. Think there are at least 6-7 sides in this division who are comfortably better than us, and another few who are at least on our level. We've utterly failed to address any of the issues the squad had last season and seems to have just just churned things around with a lot of like for like players. Robins has a lot of work to do to bring in three players who'll increase the quality of the first team but it seems like a tall order. And to top it all off, we're playing in Birmingham.

Kelly's injury record isn't great, both he and Allen have already had niggles during pre season. If two of them are out, who is playing?

I am a little deflated. One decent signing and I'll be positive again.

This is my thinking. We've had two top targets to address our glaring weakness: Walker = failed to sign. Bright = failed to sign (so far).
I love the signings of Allen, Jobello and McFadzean. But the thing that screwed us last season was not being able to take our chances. And nothing has changed on that front.
EDIT: And it seems like we're just waiting for a decision on Bright, which doesn't fill me with any confidence that we won't be left scrambling for a replacement if it's bad news.

Was yesterday when we got the Walker news in the morning and the Bayliss news in the afternoon but feel good today. Can't wait to get back up and support the city. Want some of these new faces in asap though.
Just because we didn’t score many last season it doesnt mean they won’t score this season. We finished 8th scoring a low amount of goals. If we only concede the same amount as last year and score a few more then 6th is achievable.

Allen out for how long?
Only 7-10 days it said but you know how are injuries go.
