The Night-Owl Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 6 minutes ago, wilyfox said: They were averaging 70% possession during promotion season. They weren't strong defensively, but that was due to Jokanovic's philosophy. I'm sure they'll be more resilient under Parker. Gray still there as well isn't he? Still early and tricky to say for me but I'd have them in the mix. Their creativity and goals, should no doubt have them up there or thereabouts alone, add some resilience to that and they'll have a very good chance of going up automatic. I'd still at the moment, see someone like Cardiff as a better bet than them though. It should be quite open. Cardiff I think, should bounce straight back; the likes of West Brom, Fulham, Leeds, Bristol City, Brentford and Middlesbrough should be in the mix. Whilst the likes of Forest; Blackburn, Preston and us could be dark horses. Our chances are still there even despite losing Bruce but it won't help the longer it drags on finding a suitable replacement. Unless we get someone decent in soon and add a few more players, our chances will diminish. We'll most probably come up short, outside of the play off places to be honest. But this level throws up surprises, hopefully it can be our turn to spring a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be harder to beat with Warnock in charge, stronger defensively and more direct. If Fulham don't strengthen defensively as a team, they'll play decent stuff but fall short of top 2 I reckon. Think you need a bit of both at this level to succeed, teams like Cardiff are more suited to mix it up when needed, to grind out results but still kill games off. Teams like Fulham and Leeds, need to mix it up a bit more or they will fall short. Yep Aden Flint will probably score more goals than Knochaert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 The main worry is who is choosing to sign these players we are linked with. If the new man wants Robertson then fair enough, we don’t want to be left with a squad a manager doesn’t want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real shame for him but he will be 31 this season and it just looks like the injury has taken its toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 3 hours ago, Royal_D said: Heard a whisper there’s quite a bit of interest in Dawson and Wildsmith , 1 possible championship club and permanent deal Would depend on the fee in terms of a permanent as you are buying potential at their age. We should certainly be looking to get one of them out but I would prefer it to be on loan so we can further assess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Seen online that Onomah might join Fulham as part of sessegnon moving to spurs. They are saying this would be a blow to us as we wanted him. Personally, he was ok last season but don't mind losing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
