We were already looking great before archer and Ramsey. 

Akpom is still our player. We are still going to replace archer. 

We were winning before Archer and Ramsey… But I wouldn’t say we were great. We were scraping wins at that stage. It was only when Ramsey and, in particular, Archer, came in that we started battering teams. The effect Archer had in stretching the opposition was massive. 

I do agree that some of the doom and gloom is a little embarrassing. But the squad is not near good enough at the moment. The Akpom situation needs a bit of clarity. I think that is part of the reason so many fans are so tetchy. If it was guaranteed that he was going to be coming back into the fold soon then I think the fans would be a bit more content. But as it stands, in a lot of fans heads we have lost, arguably, our three most important players (obviously Akpom hasn’t gone but the uncertainty is causing pessimism) from the end of last season and there is absolutely zero speculation about who may be coming in to replace them. 

Silvera surely done enough over pre season to secure a start on Saturday.

We are still desperate for reinforcements though.

Having to play two players out of position in full back at the start of the season isn't good.

Sorry should have said that Xl is what i think Carrick will play. Not what i would play though.

Yeah I know mate, and it seems he did 🙁

Sorry to have to do this Michael but

Carrick ❌

 

A massive fluke and a tap in. I'll take it. Jones looked bright when he came on. Think he'll have a good season

Our results from when Carrick took over to when archer came in. We were playing brilliantly and scoring freely.

Fair enough… I probably should have checked that before writing. I just remember feeling that we were struggling for goals just before Archer came into the side and then started scoring a lot more freely after Archer started games. Maybe that was just because of the last two games before Archer began to start games for us where we only scored one goal in the two games against Millwall (h) and Sunderland (a) and then went on a run of 27 goals in 8 games directly after Archer began starting games. Or maybe I’m just losing my memory the older I get 🫣

Jesus this place. The negativity is truly pathetic. How do you guys cope with real life.
