Salieri Posted 17 August 2013 Share Posted 17 August 2013 Very good to see. Can't believe Kingy is still only 24! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearfox Posted 17 August 2013 Share Posted 17 August 2013 Outstanding, it is a team that I'm sure is going to grow into an excellent side. There was a time when we had a load of old has beens glad those days have gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xen Posted 17 August 2013 Share Posted 17 August 2013 Very good to see. Can't believe Kingy is still only 24! I know, seems like he's been around forever. Hope we can keep him as long as possible, could well be a one-club man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 17 August 2013 Share Posted 17 August 2013 Before we signed Nugent I was sure he was 30+. 2 years later and he's still only 28. Is he Benjamin Button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salieri Posted 17 August 2013 Share Posted 17 August 2013 I know, seems like he's been around forever. Hope we can keep him as long as possible, could well be a one-club man. Hopefully so. Can be hit and miss but has been a very important player for us over the years and can become even better if he can dictate play a bit more.

Harry - LCFC Posted 17 August 2013 Share Posted 17 August 2013 That's why I'm hoping for an improvement on last season. Same squad, young so should improve. I know that logic doesn't always work but it should really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttfn Posted 17 August 2013 Share Posted 17 August 2013 Potential is pointless at this level. If they turn out to be good, they'll be poached before they reach their full capabilities. If they turn out not to be so good we'll be stuck in the Championship or worse. I'd rather have a good team than a young team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 17 August 2013 Share Posted 17 August 2013 I agree excellent for the future, but I think these players (or some of) are excellent now. Wood, for example, is still only 21 yet has the ability to score 15+ goals at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood, for example, is still only 21 yet has the ability to score 15+ goals at this level. He certainly does, he got 20+ last season, so once he starts finding that form again we will be on fire...

I would like a good team. I don't care if its experienced or not. If its inexperienced there is more chance of the players being poached. Look at Palace. Last year their two best players were Jedinak and Zaha. Zaha has just moved to United and Jedinak is there for another season. Dont get me wrong - i want to see an exciting team and some of the most exciting players to watch are young. But having a young team is not necessarily a good thing.

If we make to the prem there will be a massive influx of new blood, if we fail then they ain't good enough anyway. Kings a prime example of this for me, would disappear in the prem.

dorsetfox Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 i like the youthness about this squad nigel seems to know who to pick regards level they are at and the level he can bring them to regards class and also the priority for top the resalability yes hes made a few mistake both ways should never have let gradel go and the questions about vardy and wood are still to be answered be interesting to see what that squad cost to assemble and the possible returns if each player was sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
