I thought they looked absolutely toothless when Robins took him off. That may have been because we'd switched things up with Nacho and Praet, but they barely looked like scoring after he was benched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he'll be starved of service most of the time. With both Hamer & Gyokeres both gone, I think they'll struggle for playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they make anywhere near the chances against other clubs, they'll be fine. I can still see them getting play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn Posted 11 August 2023 Share Posted 11 August 2023 (edited) You'd think Coventry will have their replacements identified for Hamer given he was pretty much certain to leave this summer. They got Simms and Wright in for half a Gyokeres. Edited 11 August 2023 by martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the six who could most likely drop (Sheffield United, Forest, Bournemouth, Wolves, Luton and Everton,) I would say they're the banker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you utilise the money well then it’s far better to sell one lad and build the wider squad out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Luton will pick up points at home but get beat at a lot of players ala Forest last season. Same with Forest again, if they can replicate their home form they will be fine. Burnley to be in there as well. Fulham may drop off but not be as bad as those you've listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Burnley will be fine. They’ve signed well and play great football. Brighton might drop off as well, but nowhere near enough to get sucked in - much like Fulham.

Any three from six could drop. Rather he goes there than having ended up at Southampton or Leeds if he wasn’t going to come to us anyway. Better to have him out of the league! I do think such is how poor the majority of the premier league is though 6 is quite generous. There’s more sides there that should be in trouble and a lot of poor sides will be saved by there being more dross. I dare say had we stayed up and made some sensible decisions (yes easier said than done), we’d have been quite comfortable this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're better than several of those teams on paper now, let alone after a transfer window once promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggers Posted 11 August 2023 Share Posted 11 August 2023 Theoretically, is it possible to say 'No, thank you, but no' to automatic promotion? Are clubs compelled to accept promotion? I'm assuming clubs have to apply to become members of the PL. I fully understand the whole 'who would be mad enough to turn down that revenue' thing.

Strikes me if we go up then we’re gonna be like Villa/Forest we’re and have to get a lot of bodies in given that we’ll have so many out of contract and looks like we’ll have a good chunk of loans too.
