Morning guys and gals
Even though I asm a mighty white supporter and find it hard to go to matches-either because of money or work even though I try go when they do offers like Birmingham and Burton, i watch every match on Sky. I might be biased but having seen the recent matches, we have been absolutely brilliant and think we have a great chance this season attacking wise brilliantjust hope we can geta defender in just hope Ayling doesn't go as reported to west brom.

It’s only been one game.
We were top of the tree last September and bombed.
We played well. Def in the first half.
But it’s a marathon season.

We are all right to be very cautious. For me each game will give us more of the picture. Very keen to see how we do against Derby, a strong team from the last two seasons, lots of new players there and away. Also they will have had a chance to watch our game, so interesting to see how a team try’s to deal with our approach at home.
Then Rotherham, will give us an idea of how we go against a perceived weaker team at home, potentially a goal feast! But also perhaps a chance to change a few faces.
Finally, I do think, this years first month is a tougher selection of fixtures, so how we do at the end of that month might be a little bit more realistic after games against, Stoke, Derby, Swansea and Middlesbrough!

it is hard not to look at last year and be cautions but I see a lot of positives and negitives and differences
POSITIVES
1. last year we did well until the manager (who was limited) was found out. This year our manager must be seen as stronger so this should be better
2. last year we did well until up against a hard team that battled) (millwall) and the winter months due to siginging that were good but didn't know league. This year those players know league better and all our sigingings know leauge and are british so this year should be better
3. last year our opening fixtures were easy so results flattered, this year we will know better and as a hard run of games (last year we never beat a promotion fav like stoke)
NEGITIVES
1. the players last year who are not good enough seem to still have a major role, surely over time Roofe, Dallas, Phillips, Cooper and Beradi will show quality is not enough, this may cost us again I fear
2. manager is very hard working and style is demanding do we have sqaud and bodies that can cope with this or will we fall down come XMAS?
no one knows the answers but should be fun finding out as long as we are in and around promotion to keep season alive i am happy nothing worse than the season being over by xmas.

Good stuff Bermondsey.
I think your point 1 in the negs could be the key to our season, how much can Bielsa improve those “fringe†players. It seems clear at the moment that he thinks they are good enough to be in his 18. What I like about him is he seems to be very clear about his system, his intentions and his view on the players. It is all about their skills and performance and he is basing his views on how the players are responding to him. How many people would have looked at the Leicester team and thought that all those players could perform at that level for a whole season with the pressure of the last few months. But they couldn’t do it again. This group of players is for this year, with one objective, if Leicester did what they did with a number of journey men in the team surely it shows it is possible?

I think that is one part of the window that hasn’t been mentioned much for us, and it’s important that it doesn’t change today. We look to be keeping, Pontus, Luke, Sammy and Kemar.
That in itself is good business, particular after their sales advert on Sunday! Losing Viera, when it seemed clear he wasn’t going to be a first pick, for that much money and if it is true, he was given doubled wages, was probably unavoidable and manageable. There is a lot of last minute panicked spending today, vital that we don’t lose a body else!

Cooper is on talk sport later on.

Ooh goody!
I've always had an interest in people who make barrels! 😂😂.

i do like cooper bit hit and miss and a player but is a proper captain.
3.) 07 Aug 2018 14:26:03
I agree Bw. I don’t mind cooper.
In fact. I think everybody should be given the benefit of the doubt until they play 3-4 duff games this season.
Clean slate for all. For now.

I am first time poster and always look forward to hearing from everyone thought we were immense yesterday and it was basically same team as last season can't fault anyone really think bielsa is going to be a legend Cooper deserved the goal if he can be like that under marcelo what about Pennington even alioski staying on his feet and what a goal it would have been if it had gone in.
