Blue and white Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 19 minutes ago, HIGHERSTATE said: Sorry I shouldnt have openend this particular can of worms... As the championship is ultra competitive, the stupid money spent everywhere, and with at least 6 managers with the same remit i think its going to be tough for us to simply waltz into the top two in the first couple of months, regardless of who we have in our squad..id love to be wrong but im not sure its realistic. Some impatient fans will start voicing their opinion in the first month or two as theyre still bitter from last season.. The whole championship is mental now...only 3 managers will succeed and get through the golden gates..and 90 percent of the rest will have to pay with their job...its just an ugly and cold business now and a lot of the heart is being taken out of it..jumpers for goalposts Thats why you never look a gift horse in the mouth. Had someone said all you had to do to get promoted was beat Huddersfield over 2 legs and beat Reading in the final we'd have all thought Christmas had come early. This year will be much harder.

Rogers Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 40 minutes ago, full fathom five said: Just heard we are signing Stewart Downing who was on 30k+ at Boro. Personally I hope this isn't true as I would prefer some pace in the side so we can mix it up a little but maybe it's a sign of our intent to get some better service from out wide with Boyd and Downing (who can still whip a decent ball in)? to play to Rhodes strengths. If so, this may be up for an entry into the other thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its happened..it happens..the unpredictability of football is why i love it. Lets move on and look forward to the new season and keep our fingers crossed. And all the stuff about it being harder was all said last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloxwich Owl Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Please God let the Mad Doctor & Brucie have him.......... Stewart Downing is still attracting interest from Aston Villa after Gary Monk confirmed the England international can leave Middlesbrough. Bruce previously enquired about the possibility of taking Downing on loan in January, and is set tot re-ignite his interest in the 32-year-old.

WC1Owl Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The idea that Huddersfield were a gimme is arrogant and deluded. There was basically nothing to separate the play-off teams last time around, and Reading, who finished above us, us, also only lost on penalties. And the previous season was "the best chance we're ever going to have" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, i dont like him since he slagged fessi and named him a diver before the play off final... then did that dive for hull to get a pen 5 months later. Dirty mouthy ass hole... Takes a good freekick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
