We are one of the favourites for relegation ! ( just been on oddschecker ) . The bookies are not generally too far of the Mark .
SkyblueSteve. King was the worst player on the pitch ?
Did you go last year and watch the team. King was without doubt our best player last year. Anyone who watched the team on a regular basis would have seen he was a different class with his passing and distribution. As much as I now dislike the bloke he was a class act.
I'm also not wearing my blue tinted glasses and think unless we replace the players we have lost and get some depth to the team we are really going to struggle.
Can anyone tell me how we have improved the team from last season or the season before when we finished just above relegation. Yes we have signed a replacement for Westy but in my eyes the team as it stands is weaker than last season as it is the same team without several key players and first team backup players such as Doyle, Carsley etc now gone. Unless AT can work mirracles then how can people be more optimistic than last season when the team is the same players without key players being replaced.
Wake up people and smell the coffee people we are in the mire and really need a new investor as this game is all about money these days. If you cant invest in the team then you will struggle.
We were relegation favourites in the Prem EVERY year - they got that wrong a lot.
I don't know if i'm alone in thinking this, but im actually quite optimistic for the season ahead. Granted, we are short of a couple of players in the attacking department, but I think we have quite a decent squad. IMO, we are just 2 strikers and a midfielder away from having a solid squad.
A lot depends on injuries though as people have said.
