3 players, 2 of which have never played a game at this level? Interesting.
We don’t have a lot more that’s the point. We need at least 3-4 quality signings to have a proper go at top 6.
Eh? So you've chosen to omit Torp, EMC and Rodriguez?
One of the main reasons we flatlined last season was once Sakamoto got injured we only had MvE and Tavares as viable options . This season we have a lot more

No one wants to say it or even think it but let's be honest
If we bring in the needed striker and decent midfielder, Robins has zero excuse to not get play offs minimum
He's been backed with cash on and off the field for 2.5 years by the end of this season and King will simply ask 'why have you not achieved when you've been given all the tools asked for?'
You joke, but there are people on here who act as if that should happen.Played 46, won 46, scored 46 and conceded none. Anything less, Robbings out
Top 6 , have no interest in the cup competitions.At this stage I wouldn’t swap our squad for any of the competition. A few more clever additions and I believe City will be Champions.

We finished 8th last season and have improved since then
I'll willingly have a bet with you that EMC does ?After finishing 5th the season before?
And yes we do, or we're only a couple injuries away from what you called "flatlining".
EMC and Raphael have never played at this level. Get a grip and realise they're probably not going to tear the league apart.
That would be an interesting one to try and settle!I'll willingly have a bet with you that EMC does ?
Are we actually stronger though, we've signed Binks, who was here last season, Rudoni to replace O'Hare, some kid from Australia and EMC, at the moment we have a fully fit squad, so we probably are, justWe are stronger so you’d hope we can make top 6.
That said bookies have us joint 6th favs, and the teams in and around us are similar.
Realistically I could see anywhere from 3rd-9th.
If we fail to make the top 6 this upcoming season and then are midtable around the Christmas the following season, he’d be under a lot of pressure from King.For the season play offs would be exceptional. This is the Championship. The biggest dogfight there is. Throw in parachute payments and getting top 6 is like pushing water uphill. But I think we’ve recruited well and have big players settled in. I’m hoping for a good run at top 6. For me Robins should never be under pressure - frankly I’m amazed he’s not been poached.
And we have Sakamoto available - so it feels stronger as a result (plus I suspect our forward depth will feel stronger by the end of the window)Are we actually stronger though, we've signed Binks, who was here last season, Rudoni to replace O'Hare, some kid from Australia and EMC, at the moment we have a fully fit squad, so we probably are, just
A lot blame the defence for the end of season collapse but it was as much the lack of depth in forward areas that was exposed once Sakamoto got injured that cost usAnd we have Sakamoto available - so it feels stronger as a result (plus I suspect our forward depth will feel stronger by the end of the window)
But they might.After finishing 5th the season before?

I'd say we are ever so slightly stronger but desperately need at least another striker. We'd be screwed with a long-term injury to Simms.Are we actually stronger though, we've signed Binks, who was here last season, Rudoni to replace O'Hare, some kid from Australia and EMC, at the moment we have a fully fit squad, so we probably are, just
I've never been an optimist about this club which tells me something about the people who still stink the place out with negativity. This is an exciting time, you are allowed to enjoy it.Top 6 perhaps even autos.
Mind you ive always been an eternal optimist.
Good prediction for the opening fixture
Don't like to be pedantic but we were 9th last seasonNo we don't , ridiculous comment

We’re starting the day in the top 10, unacceptable to drop outside of it.I’m never one for knee-jerk predictions, I’d rather wait and see how we kick on.
So based on that I’m gonna say, win at Stoke top 3, lose at Stoke bottom 3, draw at Stoke mid-table.
