But it's not the first day of the season yet and more players will be signed in the next week ( and beyond), so suggest you repost next Saturday night
Also, as you said you were not optimistic and we beat the eventual league winners 2-0, so stop being pessimistic and chill out and wait and see what develops.
Reid who at the age of 28 has played for 12 different clubs? Seems like a highly prized assetMcCann and Reid are better quality than O'Brien and Lameries for a start.
Haha don't make me laugh! Better than Fleck the player who was without doubt our player of the year and was rightly awarded so?Vlad is better than Fleck on evidence so far, plus Jones down the right.
You mean a bit like Leon Clarke, who is 31?Reid who at the age of 28 has played for 12 different clubs? Seems like a highly prized asset
I'm not on the Clarke bandwagon either, a journeyman striker who has produced 2 good seasons in his whole career, fortunately one of them happened to be at us, based on analysis though it clearly isn't the norm for himYou mean a bit like Leon Clarke, who is 31?
Can't believe you're putting Reid down already? Give him a chance, ffs

I'm not on any Clarke bandwagon either, but he's had 3 good seasons since 2012 inc. his loan at Stockport too, all from the age of 27-28.I'm not on the Clarke bandwagon either, a journeyman striker who has produced 2 good seasons in his whole career, fortunately one of them happened to be at us, based on analysis though it clearly isn't the norm for him

And we tailed off badly with him in the side ...so lets see what unfolds and instead of being pessimistic lets get out to watch the boys boost gates so we have more money coming in for our esteemed owners to shell out a littleHaha don't make me laugh! Better than Fleck the player who was without doubt our player of the year and was rightly awarded so?
Another way to look at it, is we didn't have anybody to sell... Part and parcel of Footy is having to wheel and deal. We have forgotten what it's like cos we have been used to the board taking the money away...Would love to be proved completely wrong but we weren't selling our better players for 50k to rivals last year 3 weeks before the start of the season
So I just had a look to remind me of the starting line up for the first game of the season last year:
GK- Burge
RB- Willis
CB- Ricketts
CB- Johnson
LB- Stokes
CM- Vincelot
CM- Fleck
RM- O'brien
LM- Lameiras
CAM- Maddison
ST- Armstrong
Now admittedly with that squad at the time I wasn't hugely optimistic, a lot of new and untested players however there is not one area in that squad except perhaps RCC between the sticks where we have made any improvement. People can keep spouting this nonsense that we are too pessimistic and there should be some trust that things will come good. There is zero evidence to support this, our squad is full of kids and dross, best players have left and a 15th place finish would be an achievement with the current crop. Considering the players that have left (bold, obviously everyone is unsure on Reda's situation) only a miracle in the next couple of weeks in terms of wheeling a dealing is going to deliver any hope. Very difficult to be optimistic!
First Game:
Charles-Cook
Willis
Wilson
New CB (hopefully)
Rose
New CM (Hopefully)
Gadzhev
Reid
Jones
Lameiras
Sordell
What an odd comment, none of our first team players that started the Wigan match were highly prized assets at that time.Reid who at the age of 28 has played for 12 different clubs? Seems like a highly prized asset
Genuine question, how many times have you seen Ghadzhev play?Haha don't make me laugh! Better than Fleck the player who was without doubt our player of the year and was rightly awarded so?
Venus basically confirmed it at the SCGwilson hasn't signed yet
And the ones we had before that, Baker, Moussa, Wilson, McGoldrick etc. were even betterSo I just had a look to remind me of the starting line up for the first game of the season last year:
