Reading were 7 points clear of 3rd and 8 points clear of 7th after 8 games last season, they didn't even finish in the play-offs. This league is riddled with teams who were relegated and failed to bounce straight back up too. Bournemouth, Cardiff, Swansea, Stoke, Huddersfield, ourselves. Sunderland are in an even lower league now. That's just in the last 5 years too. I’m not basing it on their current position, only on what I’ve watched so far. The pandemic has widened the gap between the Prem and The Champo in a big way. Time will tell but they both look light years ahead of anybody else 🤷🏻♂️ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ruathain 96 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 If we can finalise the young Dutch lad Burger Van,the fella from Portugal and another left wing back I can't see why we won't be up there this season competing. I feel the club has bought clever rather than splashing the cash on known players and player with nothing to prove. Its early days but I think Crooks and Big Uche look the real deal, hopefully some of these new signing come good and the youngsters keep impressing and get the injured players back. I'm not just optimistic about this season but for the next couple of years, Warnock seems to be doing what Pulis was brought in to do, change mentality at the club and get players who will have a sell on fee in the future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
notjade 1,174 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Hope we sign that really tall bloke from Solihull Moors like 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Smokedsalmon 1,247 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Got my fingers crossed and crossed again that we knick that Everton song for Sporar. He's quick! He's game! We can't pronounce his name! Slavic lad, Slavic lad! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 All these new faces are reason for optimism, misplaced or otherwise but it will all be in vain if Warnock refuses to see that his man marking defence strategy has been disastrous and that his midfield is ineffective. If you can't keep clean sheets in this league you are going nowhere. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmonaut 160 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Haven't caught up in this thread today but happy to see the lad Olusanya in, he seems a bright kid and watching his interview, I have high hopes for the lad. I hope he has a right crack at it and is a success here. There's no doubt he's very talented but being realistic this is a massive step up and it is going to take some time for him to get in the side, as long as he does well on the training pitch and the punt pays off .. NW is surely the best guy for him to be working with to give him the best chance of success. Still needing more bodies in, though and hope the rest we are looking at work out and sign. Not sure how far Sporar is in terms of deal done?? What worries me is we've let in five in our first three games of the season. Not sure if it was just a freak game on Wednesday, but I hope we tighten things up sharpish. It's vital we beat Derby tomorrow IMO .. this league takes off so fast and we don't want to be lagging behind the top six after our first ten games. Derby are an awful side in dire straits currently and it would really irk me to see us be beaten there tomorrow. Hope we thrash them but I have an awful feel about it 🤔 ... hopefully once we've got all the signings in, we can get back to keeping more clean sheets! I'm still worried about the GK situation though ... sorry, but just have a bad feeling about Lumley .. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 did no one ask NW about the left sided player he expected before the end of the week? Link to post Share on other sites
