You know what, in amongst all this optimism for the coming season, which, imo, is unwarranted, there are a lot of things still coming through that back up what I've thought all along. Diakhaby no end product, Bacuna giving the ball away,O'Brien clumsy tackler, Elphick legs gone, Koroma out of his depth, Quaner and VLP no end product, Mooy looking a shadow, Kachunga a shadow, Seiwert the jury's out still. Our only saving grace is our defence will probably keep us out if trouble. Always look on the bright side of life.. Do do Do do do do do do 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

After two seasons of enjoying us getting pumped by Liverpool and Man city, Art gets all giddy about the likes of Barnsley and milwall giving us a good drilling  Appears so does Jamie vardy 😜 |

Someone said on another thread that O’Brien looks like Hogg with a better passing range and I think that is a good assessment. I would be playing him, he looks like the best academy product for a long while. The lad who came on for Hoggy at Rochdale (High ?) looked like we'd cloned Hoggy but added better ball control and passing. Thanks, yes that was my mixup. Lewis is probably more like Mooy. Great to have two young midfielders with potential and attitude. |

I'll be honest. If I was Hogg's agent I'd be telling him I think he needs a new challenge Then I'm glad you're not his agent. Not because I think you're wrong, but because I hope he stays. |

Diakhaby is lightning fast, had skill and a strong left foot. Decent shot. Scored more than once in preseason. Young lad still. Some concern of course right foot not been used and his legs look like pipe cleaners. So you can either assume he will be a threat, is currently in our top 3 wide widemen options, adds balance to side and might develop into a cracking player. Or he's got to prove his worth before any grudging appreciation is made. Depends on your outlook. Does he have a decent shot though? I seem to remember on his highlights reel when he signed most of his goals seemed to be mis hit soft efforts that somehow managed to go through keepers legs. I would have him training half hour every day smashing the ball at the goal - if he improves that then we could be in for some fun. And I would always train my strikers to pass the ball into the goal. It's a funny old world. |

Wingers getting back to defend less of a priority to the new management team. |

I have changed seats this season, and it is nothing personal, but I hope I am not sat too near him 😕 |

I have changed seats this season, and it is nothing personal, but I hope I am not sat too near him 😕 Speaking of seats, isn't it weird turning up and seeing someone else in 'your' seat? In fact it was strange having to sit among the great unwashed (who presumably normally use one of the other sides) invading 'our' stand on Saturday  |
