I see some of the pundits are weirdly optimistic for us.

Chris Sutton thinks we will be well organised under Cooper and we are the best equiped of the promoted clubs to be stay up.

Already reminding me of the misguided and blind loyalty many 'experts' had for us when we were spiralling out of control under Rodgers.

Lol.. Oh dear, a vote of confidence from Chris Sutton?

Its almost like Ipswich don't have PSR hanging over them and can spend all they want this year in the hope of staying up.

they absolutely do, and have a smaller allowance than us.

Yes, I’m personally liable for our financial fair play issues because I won’t boo the team before they’ve kicked a football. Sorry guys

Did I say boo the team??

I can’t remember a more negative feeling amongst a fanbase before a season. 

I remember 2012/2013 being pretty negative. Can’t remember us signing anyone and if I recall we went down away at Boro first half of the first game. It all went quite well from that half time though.

I am concerned that we have a 1977-78 which was miserable at the top level. This though was not as bad as those years at the wrong end of the 2nd level for years before the actual drop to League One.

All our recent success achieved was from the foundations built by Pearson, Walsh and Shakespeare, they should be the ones remembered with statues, king power’s contributions were minimal.

Taylors season was desperate and this reminds me of that - I think we got beat 5 nil at home to Bolton and the proceeded to get relegated - he was a complete gimp and has all the signs of being a repeat sadly.

Hold on people

Man city are getting relegated

I genuinely don't think we'll be far off  Derby's unwanted record. The club is flat and in Rudkin and Top there's no leadership. If we pick up 25 points this season then Cooper has worked wonders.

Apart from fact that they saved us financially as mandaric had had enough - bought all the players and provided the platform for NFP and team I agree!! Sometimes ….

[beastfootballx]

Even if that happens, could we even beat souhampton or ipswich

Couldn't agree more.

 

There are improvements to be made (and should have been made at the start of the window), but our squad is nowhere near as bad as is being made out.

It might not be 'bad' but it's miles from the quality needed to survive in the Premier League.

 

Mads, Ricardo, Winks, Buonanotte, Fatawu & Ndidi are the only players I think would stand a chance of getting into another Premier League starting 11 and even then, bottom half teams at best.

 

Even Ndidi I'm basing off of a prime Ndidi, the current Ndidi wouldn't get touched by other Premier League teams. Mavididi far too inconsistant but good on his day.

 

I dunno, I just think that as a starting 11, in a division where you need everyone to be at their best, we are no where near what's to be required.

Exactly.

All of this negativity is getting tiresome.

Just back the team, whoever plays etc.

It was always going to be a tough ask but nobody really knows how this season is going to pan out despite the signs all pointing towards it being disastrous. Last time we were relegation faves we won the Prem., lol! I'm not suggesting anything of the sort will happen this season of course but 17th would be great!

Puel most recent*. 

[dannythefox]

Didn’t expect much this season but it’s really looking like we don’t even fancy it, building a championship team for next season by the looks of things. The clubs in a sorry state

[foxes_rule1978]

I suppose when we got relegated to league one will be hard to beat.

I think Justin is good enough, and I'm pretty confident Mavididi can make the step up.  Decordova was a regular starter in the Prem last season - getting on a bit, but he can add value.  

 

I have huge concerns over Wout Faes, but he does start for Belgium so I'm sure he'd get in some Prem teams. He's the sort of defender who could be very good if he had the right partner. No idea about if Okoli is that partner!

 

Definitely concerned about the squad depth and strikers, but I think we can compete with at least 6 or 7 teams over the course of a season.  Maybe I'm naive, but I'd rather be that than as miserable as some of the posters on this forum!

Are we cheats too for breaking PSR rules?

Nah this is different level to that. People haven’t forgiven the relationship

Yes which is why we are getting a points deduction. Man City will get what’s coming to them eventually

Could be one of the most profitable seasons on record for us.

No water of money signings or silly contracts.

Clean slate and some parachute money.

Bring it on!

Look back in 2020 West Ham fans were fuming after doing nothing all summer and selling Diangra to West Brom… even Mark Noble kicked off. But then Moyes led them to europe. It just goes to show you never know what can happen and behind the scenes a team can be doing everything right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is nothing like that, we’re breaking Derby’s record!
