Lavia is on the verge of a move to Liverpool and JWP is unlikely to be there come the end of the window. The later you lose these players, the harder it is to replace them.

I fully expect Southampton and us to go back up automatically, both clubs could argue that on paper the squads are too good to be in this league, and poor leadership has ultimately landed us where we are. If both of us apply ourselves we’re talented enough to both go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans need to just chill out, it’s been 45 minutes of football, and Southampton expectedly, look good….. We’ve got a good squad that’s still improving. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time to use the funds to bring in replacements, minimising disruption by players who want out and eliminating uncertainty as to whether or not they're going to be here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am basing it on squads as they stand for the first few games, we aren't at this level. We might get there is the club can do the right business. Its fair to say after Rudkins recent record, it's hard to trust the recruitment. After all, that is why we are where we are with a average squad and tge biggest wage bill! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy is better than any of there strikers even at this age and Ricardo is better than any player they have, Nacho on his day also and many others. Under Enzo the application will be there, we have also bought a good Keeper and have players like Justin, VK, Faes, Winks to mention a few, I think you an under estimating us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case why are we fannying around so much, like we always do with Rudkin at the helm. I still think there are too many here who got us into this mess, who think they are 'better' than the club. Time will tell of course. I hope you are correct but I don't have much faith in the clubs senior leadership to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 4 August 2023 Share Posted 4 August 2023 Am I the only one thinking the Soton "dominance" is overstated? They've had tons of the ball, a given based on where they were and the manager they've got...but what have they done with it? They've playing a side who were league 1 last season and have had a turbulent summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StonyFox Posted 4 August 2023 Share Posted 4 August 2023 Southampton's main centre forward has 4 goals in the past two seasons of the prem, even Daka has more than double that and he's the weakest of our strikers. As long as we can create chances, out strikers will score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 4 August 2023 Share Posted 4 August 2023 (edited) 22 minutes ago, TheFiveTime said: we quite literally have not played a competitive game this season yet they look a better unit than us? Interesting Did you read what I put in brackets? We have very little to go on, but we have played lower league opposition early in pre season, we lost, I don’t take much from that. We played Port FC and OH Leven in pre season and won by 1 goal in each, don’t take much from that either. But I have seen next to nothing to suggest to me we can put in a performance as dominant as this. But as I said, we have little to go on, since our pre season was poorly thought through, put politely. Coventry is a significantly tougher test than Sheffield Wednesday. They are playing the same system under the same manager as last season, so I have limited expectations. Look how Burnley started last season. I don’t see us flying out of the blocks (would love to be wrong), but what we look like in 1-2 months should give us a good idea of what to expect for the rest of the year.
