trophyshy 7073 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 There is still no spunk in the team. Think we'll finish 8-12th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21827 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Rafa needs time. It's a completely new side. He took a few games to get them on side when he took over last season. He needs a month or two to work out what his best side is. Once he does I expect us to turn things around. Shit start but it's a long season.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 A month or two? I need a second or two to conclude that Anita as a winger is a mistake. A month or two of this form leaves us an uphill task that this shower of shite is incapable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6994 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Shelvey was alright but needs someone next to him, Ritchie was the best player on the pitch. Janmaat may as well play RW cos he can't defend for shit and the other 3 were piss poor today. The new keeper looks worse than the 2 we already had. Gayle missing the chances that would have won us two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6994 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Compared to the rest of them aye, at least he was looking for the ball, passing it forward and getting the odd tackle in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToony 41 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Well, this will be Mbemba's second season here and if what I read is true, that the defending and goalie was awful again, they may need to rethink our whole back line again! Let's hope that Rafa can get those feckers to play as a cohesive unit before it's too late. Oh yeah, then there is the offensive part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2958 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 You'll all be relieved to know that I was unaware the season had started. All of this doesn't count. Game 3 IS Game 1. Let's go, team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lackie92 1 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Gayle, Hanley and Clarke. £20m. Fuck me man I got grief when I complained about the amount of money spent on Hanley... £10m combined for Hanley AND Clark? Outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5186 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Not exactly a great start is it though? Where do you think our form is going to come from exactly? Mitro perhaps might focus the attack I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6535 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The balance of the team is not right yet. Rafa needs to get this sorted before the window shuts or we'll struggle to go back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10750 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Not exactly a great start is it though? Where do you think our form is going to come from exactly? Mitro perhaps might focus the attack I guess. No, it's not a great start. But there's still 132pts still to be played for. There's still 22 home games and 22 away games left. We could lose 10 more games and still finish with over 100pts*. It's not time to be saying "if we continue like this we'll go down." because we don't know what the side will look like when the new players are settled, any future signings are finalised and 1st team are all back. Mitrovic will provide focus and a physical presence up front. I think he'll bring more out of Gayle and Perez and certainly more from our wide players. I think that'll add to our ability to defend set-pieces too. I think Diame and Ritchie are good players in this division and will produce for us, given time. I think our form is going to come from the realisation that we've the strongest squad in the division and the confidence that players like Mitrovic, Ritchie and Diame will bring out of the others. Rafa's got a few things wrong and should be criticised for them, but lets not meltdown after 2 games. *I, in no way, think this is going to happen.

Rayvin 5186 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I don't think anyone is saying we'll go down... Brighton apparently lost only 5 games last year and failed to get promoted. We've already lost two. We need to get our act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10750 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Welcome to my pre season post match thoughts. We're dooooooomed. Keep playing like that and we'll be relegated again Absolutely fucking shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5186 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Alright but one of those is CT. I mean, come on. I think honestly, most people are worrying about us not getting promoted. Gpirlo probably just said that straight after the match in frustration. Yes I know that means you're technically right anyway. Git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that most of it is an instant knee-jerk emotional reaction to a disappointing result against a side most didn't fancy. But Huddersfield are going to surprise a lot of teams this year imo. I think worrying about not getting promoted after 2 games is way too early, especially when we've not yet played what most would consider our 1st team.
