willy37 Posted 15 July 2005 Share Posted 15 July 2005 although there have been posts allready about the upcoming season i thought i would add to the collection as i cannot wait for this new season to begin! i think the squad is starting to shape up now with a bunch of young, hungry determined players! saying this, i am still optimistic -but not over confident as there are many good teams in this league now. also i am looking forward to watching a new and improved mark de vries, scoring 2 goals on his first pre season game cant do his confidence any damage! anyway enough rambling, wot does every1 else think?

Hitesh Posted 15 July 2005 Share Posted 15 July 2005 Not sure about MDV. He still needs to prove himself in the Championship. But agree with you on the other points you made...i cant wait now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supedaj Posted 15 July 2005 Share Posted 15 July 2005 Yep same here - its been a while without any football and I cant wait to see the new look side after all the new signings. I think MDV will be much better this season personally.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 15 July 2005 Share Posted 15 July 2005 I think both strikers will bag more and be more consistant, I know you'll probably laugh but i think we have a fair chance at getting in the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we cant get carried away just because of 1 good friendly results. If we beat Inter by the same scoreline then we can be a bit more confident. However, it looks as if the signings we have made are working and if we get the team playing well every week then we are definitly in with a chance of making the play-offs.

Durnerz Posted 15 July 2005 Share Posted 15 July 2005 With a Defence seemingly of Gerrbrand, Johansson, Mccarthy and Maybury I think we'll be a rigid hard working side with some installed coolness at the back with Johansson and especially Gerrbrand, also Mccarthy was one of those players last season who enjoyed playing the ball out of the defence rather than hoofing it. Midfield I will reserve judgement on, the left side slightly concerns me that if Wilcox is injured and/or Tiatto doesn't perform or is suspended then that could be our problem area. Certainly from the Bodo match Sylla sounds an exciting player and i'm looking forward to seeing him and Maybury down the right. Up front with both strikers bagging 2 last night and with Dublin yet to play it does look promising, hopefully some of this will be repeated in the league.

PRIOR09 Posted 15 July 2005 Share Posted 15 July 2005 Why is everyone on DeVries back? He was injured most of his short time here last season. And it seems nobody remembers the Charlton game. Also i suppose if he doesnt score in the first 5 games the 'so called fans' will start putting him down. We must all remember he is not an out and out goalscorer, 15 if we are extremely lucky! Give the man a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no bloody good if he's injured and he's no good as a centre-forward if he doesn't score. Could be the two are connected. So let's hope he stays fit and does himself justice.

However, we do need to buy a new striker, as cover for De Vries if he gets injured, or to replace him if he doesn't perform. I've said this many times but I would like to see Pawel Abbott here, 27 goals last season for Huddersfield, which is more than what Parkin, Ugarte and Boyd got.
