S36 OWL Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) The deadline has passed and all four are still Wednesday players, so today has gone as well as could be expected . Now we just have to hope they are still here come the 31st when the loan window closes. This season is going to be difficult enough as it is without any team strengthening this summer ,but to lose one or more of these to help with P&S would make our task even harder.

trev Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm surprised they are all still here. It's certainly a positive. Lord knows we need some positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Might be storing up trouble further down the line if we dont go up. Hope not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 A lot on here starting to sound like Pochettino for keeping the band together. Thing is, they can play a tune well enough for prem top 4 and champions league. Our songs are mid-table cover versions fit for a pub talent contests.

I suspect our points tally with those four in the team would be at least play off average. Someone on here will know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUMBELOWS91 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm not sure any of them would get a huge pay rise elsewhere in The Championship, and I'm not sure they want to the themselves to a long-term contract with a Championship club as their next move- even if the chair of promotion is improved. I think we're safe for now- Westwood excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen next season - and that’s a bit frightening But - I’m living with some short term enthusiasm here that we’ve kept hold of these four, and we have Joao, Fletcher, Hooper and Lee all in or almost around the first team door too. We bloody need some positive news and after this nightmare of a week, it feels like we’ve finished on a high. Let’s put Hull to sword on Saturday and then cigars can come out.....

Eastern Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 There would be little benefit on loaning any of them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely great news I agree. Add to that Hooper is back training. That’s 5 of the best players in the division. Hoping we can keep them all fit, and that we see Reach and FF wide not central, and Lees central not wide! Really pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York_Owl Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I would add Joao to that list too (keeping the positive vibes going). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I didn’t get the impression any of them were really subject to interest, even Westwood who seems to be the only one we have might have encouraged interest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - not really sure why some of our fanbase are so negative about our chances before the seasons even got going - if all our players are fit (not Abdi obv), for the majority of the season then we have to be in with a chance of at least aiming to finish top 6. I certainly dont think we will be bottom half never mind a relegation scrap. Keep the faith - sometimes positivity has a cumulative effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbelly Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 There’s many teams in this division who would love a spine like this. Throw in a few of the others and if we can keep the majority fit we could surprise a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it going to be as tough as you suggest? I still think we have a better squad than most in the championship. The 4 you mention are all very talented players but add into that Juao, Fletcher and Nuhiu, Hutch, Pudil etc Too much focus is put on the weaker players in the squad instead of recognising the assets we do have and the damage they cause create to opposition defences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
