Yes, especially at £12m. 19 and 22 goals across the last two seasons for a side that didn't even finish top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds look scary, amazing pace with their wingers, I think they would cause us serious problems given the way we play as the ball behind Vestergaard (or even Coady when he returns) is always going to be on. Ipswich also looking good, but stylistically seem more like us, IE a more methodical build up. Extended highlights for Norwich aren't out yet, but most fans are saying they have looked like the most impressive team performance wise so far. Leeds are just a bit batshit still aren't they. The attack is absurd but they look so fragile defensively, can see a fair few scores like that this season. They'll be good for the neutrals. We really should be beating Hull at home for 5 from 5 but it'll be after the international break that we really know more about ourselves. Window will have closed, we'll have had two solid weeks for most of the squad to train and get it right and then we'll immediately have back to back away games against Southampton and Norwich. If we're still comfortably top after that I'll start to relax. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 27 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 27 August 2023 One thing that's struck me as one of the biggest differences in the Championship so far is how almost every team is just so poor in the final third. Premiership teams, you let a side in behind you with a slip up odds are you're going to concede. So many teams at this level absolutely butchering chances. Even just in our games, Huddersfield, Cardiff, Cov all should have gotten at least points if they hadn't just murdered some great chances. Just watched Watford absolutely spuff one with just some awful execution. Puts Stephy's slight blunder yesterday in some context. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 27 August 2023 Share Posted 27 August 2023 This is a good example of why 12pm Sunday games should be binned. A seemingly half empty ground, an away support dragged up at God knows what o'clock to attend, players hate it too and understandably so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed that just getting from Leeds to Leicester for the Cov game there was only one train I could get and be there on time and even then I arrived at the ground 5 mins max before k/o. If I'd had to come any further I'd have had no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it for derby matches with Police involved and a natural edge but Watford v Blackburn with no animosity, four weeks into a season on a Bank Holiday weekend, just screams flat and uninspiring. I understand there is no ideal live TV slot but this one offers virtually nothing for all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched Watford absolutely spuff one with just some awful execution. Puts Stephy's slight blunder yesterday in some context. The difference is jarring. Playing the way we have we’ve won all 4 games in the division. I’m the Premier League we might have lost all 4. Against Coventry Ellis Simms was put through and yet almost took someone out in row Z. Harry Kane on the other hand literally scored against us despite falling over as he hit the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t great but got to give him time. Last 3 games… 55 shots 22 corners, no goals. Says it all ! Played ok but no good for Ismael if we keep losing . He’ll be gone .
