ZicoSterland2 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Preseason has been good , some pace added and goals scored. Despite the doom and gloom merchants worst fears it looks like for once we can hit the ground running. Mrs Browns gone so chins up and lets get behind this great club and give it the support it deserves. The time to make an impact straight away is there for this team and the early signs are good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still - I think Harris adds something we have been sorely missing for years. The levels of fitness do appear to be up and we seem far more willing to press the opposition. This was something we started doing during fathead's time in charge. Edited July 28, 2019 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not getting excited over warm up games against 2 average English teams,2 crap German teams and a Spanish reserve team Reading will be a much bigger test We've been OK in pre season but fans who think we will be challenging playoffs will be very disappointed as it stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we will challenge, but it is far too early to predict what anyone is going to do, particularly in a division as unpredictable as the Championship.

Kopparberg Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Lots of positives. Lee back. Harris’ pace. Bannan’s left foot still an absolute wand. Looking fit and sharp. Looking to move the ball forward in the right way. Clean slate injury wise, near enough. New lads seem to have integrated well. Squad seems happy. We’ll play physically stronger teams than today, but the lads seem up for it. We do need to kill games off though if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we will be top 2 but top ten is very achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 A win to start the season is always welcome. Gives confidence to the players and the fans. Pick up plenty of points in the easy games early on and start on the front foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we come out the blocks winning 5 in a row or anything, but I want us to have picked up a decent haul of points after our first 7 or 8 games. Even when we got in the play offs, we always started off so slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbelly Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 If we look good now then think how much better we’ll be when we get our permanent manager & a couple of loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I possibly know that? I'd be very surprised if it is Bullen...because, if it was going to be, why not just give him the job now? Admittedly, we could be giving him a trial period, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not basing off the pre season ,I'm saying from I've seen from the vast majority of our players from the last 4 seasons and in my opinion we aren't good enough ,with good manager (not bullen) and a bit of tweeking we'd be not far off but as it stands we aren't going anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
