Hoping Coalville and Leicester can have good seasons and get promotion! 1 minute ago, Simmo86 said: I can’t bloody wait to be honest, nice to get back to grounds I’ve not been to in a while, no VAR and we’ll win every week. I'm hoping I get the love of it back when we get started. In all honesty haven't fully missed it, especially with the ashes being on etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame we aren't kicking the season off on a Saturday, starting on a Sunday is a bit duller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for the trek Southampton fans have for a Friday night game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 1 August 2023 Share Posted 1 August 2023 I'm looking forward to it now, not sure if it's Mavididi joining and there at least being a spine of new players that Maresca will build his team and style around, or if it's because its so close to the new season but it's here and I want us fans to experience far more enjoyable weekends than the last year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to feel more positive and suspect we're only a couple of signings away from building a squad that could twat this division if managed correctly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezFox Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 Out of interest, when I look at Southampton’s squad I would say they look stronger than ours. Do you think it would be better for us if they sold lavia and JWP or keep them and not being overly happy? Same goes for some Leeds players still there.

If they react how Mahrez and Fofana did and down tools to force a move, it could devastate their team's morale. If they're professional and the situation is handled well, it could be a real problem for us as Lavia and JWP are far too good for this league.

BrummieFOX Posted 2 August 2023 Share Posted 2 August 2023 Agreed, as they currently are I think both Southampton and Leeds probably look stronger than us. But a few more signings in and out for all could easily change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo has pretty good ballwinning numbers but isn't any good on the ball. JWP is a decent player but his numbers are vastly infkated by how good he is from free kicks and corners. From open play, he's very meh. There's a reason that Southanpton were even worse than us last season, and its not because any of their players are great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds have lost pretty much everyone that played for them last season and now have a mix of players from last time they were at this level and youngsters. They'll lose a few more by the end of the month too. Also they've signed.....? Saints were always going to benefit from the young squad they built up last season, and they do look okay, but they'll lose Lavia, Livaramento and JWP by the end of the window. They've made a couple of signings but nothing spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy G Posted 3 August 2023 Share Posted 3 August 2023 Don't think JWP would down tools, strikes me as a proper professional and he's a saints legend. If he stays beyond the window he will put a shift in. As for the others I'm not so sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said though, a lot more incomings and outgoings could easily change it. I just think with the 3 squads as they are at the moment, along with the experience of each of the managers, they look slightly better off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been useless since that jackpot summer of 2018. The occasional hit (Fofana, Justin, Tielemans) but there's been a staggering amount of money pissed up the wall.

Ian W LCFC Posted 3 August 2023 Share Posted 3 August 2023 Decent enough video to watch, gives a bit more info on some of the teams I didn't know much about in this league. He has us finishing 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve lost quite a few tbh, with Tyler Adams linked away as well. Looking decidedly light in the middle of the park… Rodrigo Robin Koch Maximilian Wöber Tyler Roberts Joel Robles Brenden Aaronson Rasmus Kristensen Marc Roca Adam Forshaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
