Most fans were agreed that last season that team would not of even been good enough to get promotion from the Championship. So I find it a bit confusing that now with a weaker squad and less quality some people think we have a god given right to be ripping this league up. With the re build required on the pitch and the finances to be sorted off it, I will be happy with a mid table finish to give it a right good go next season.

Expectations need to be realistic with the manager. I am starting to see green shoots of recovery especially in regards to the development of the youth, which is the only way forward for a club that never seems to buy the so called finished product well.

I think what happens in the next 3 days will direct our season.

On the whole, I think we can be quite positive about this window.

A lot of troublemakers and players with bad attitudes offloaded, and young players being brought in and brought through.

I'd still like marauding full backs and a creative midfielder, and maybe a cb and a tall keeper.



I think we can easily beat Wolves, but I just don't think that Nuno knows yet which is his best 11. I also think we need a change of captain, and finally, Bowen needs to learn to go wide instead of cutting in on his left foot all the time, which is very predictable.

Mac3: "I just don't think that Nuno knows yet which is his best 11."
Are you serious? After, what is it now, how many games he's been in charge? 42? I give up.

If we don't go up this year, Boleynboy Bowen, Mavro, Taty will definitely leave next summer, and will be irreplaceable as funds won't be there. I don't actually think our squad is bad for the Championship. I do, however, think the manager is awful. I think a decent manager would get a lot more out of this set of players.

I understand what you're saying, Tin, honestly, but the way he keeps changing formation and how he is using players at his disposal only suggests he still doesn't know who to play where!

I keep reading we are targeting wingers and forwards when we all know we need full backs who can provide width and a cb that can actually defend.

And you have to agree, Tin, above all, we need a midfielder who can open these teams up that just want to sit in and catch us on counter.

Yes, we need a creative midfielder, a decent centre back, a different goalie and a goal scorer, but most of all we desperately need a coach who knows what he's doing!

We are a team set up to attack. Defensively, we are vulnerable. Surely, Nuno realises this?
The Championship this season is weaker than most years; therefore, we should be putting teams like Burnley, Charlton and Watford to the sword.
Unfortunately, I think Wolves and Southampton will be up there, having seen the teams playing.

Best 11.

I still don't know what type of football Nuno is trying to play.

Sorry, but I have no idea how anyone can be happy with recruitment. Sell Potts for 10mil and Earthy for 600k, both very experienced in the Champ, and buy Engles for 22mil+. Spend 12mil on an unknown Norwegian youngster when we have Ajala, and neglect to buy someone to replace Kilman, a LB and a playmaker, is criminal.

Now we are after a striker from 2nd division in France. We need at least 1, if not 2, CB's and a LB to survive. No idea why Nuno is giving the nod for wingers and strikers when he plays such negative football.
