I don't know if that's the case to be honest, what we'd consider to be our 'rivals' all seem to need maybe 1-2 players at most but we're in a position where we need 4-5 and we're midway into August we've put ourselves in quite a difficult position and put the Tav transfer on top of the results, it's just not been a good start to the season at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wilder will be secretly smug Agree We need players, at least another four/five ... a project signing in Hoppe arrived today. Good luck to him, but something does not feel right After what felt like an air of optimism and big expectations in terms of players we can attract to have a right go after selling Spence, then losing Tav but making money on top of the Spence funds .. it's started to feel like we were given the impression plans were in place and now we're just going for this 'shot in the dark' approach to competing for top-six Not arsed if I am flagged by the 'doyle police' 🤣 but something doesn't feel right to me, hasn't for a few weeks .. I am worried at what a defeat on Sunday may do for us going forward as we struggle to attract real improvement/reinforcements in the squad Hope I am wrong but I aren't too confident and panicking already 🤪 Edited August 10, 2022 by Cosmonaut text on phone deleted mistake Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 902 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 It does sound as though we probably done enough to have won that game, but another game of missed chances blows it for us. Link to post Share on other sites

Fair. Although a bad start doesn't necessarily mean a bad finish - I give you Forest last year, Sheff U in 2018 (we thrashed them v early on in the season) and Palace in 2013 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is most of the teams we currently think of as our rivals have parachute payments. That’s a real problem for any team now that has been out of the top flight for a number of years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TheHolgate 683 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I think the Tav transfer really took any new season feel good factor away. The fact we are 2 weeks later without a replacement even close is frustrating and makes you question what the club are doing, especially when everyone else won't let players leave without a replacement. Just looks a bit amateurish. On top of that we then parade a young striker who hasnt done much in front of 6k fans. All we need is the Benny hill theme in the background. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites
