New Season

[joellufcprice]

Our FA Cup "performances" of late have been such that I'm not sure why they even bother putting our ball into the bag in the first place.

Did I ever mention that my cousin's kid has a season ticket to Sutton United?

Oh, how I laughed when he simply "had" to call me to make sure I knew the score....

One of the few criticisms I have of Bielsa is I think he is very naive to think our crap players can beat the teams we come up against.

I really hope we give both cups a proper go this year as I don't think we will make the top 6 so a cup run would be a good marker for the season

If Forshaw manages to stay injury free, I think the squad suddenly looks a lot stronger, as he will cover for Philips or Klich.

Forshaw has looked incredibly **** all of pre-season I used to like him as a Championship back up but now he just looks slow and like a man who has been injured for 2 years which isn't his fault but that is the reality.

Meslier now signed until 2026 which is another plus going forward.

Yep the Rev is looking forward to the new season.

Fully expect a season like last which is fine by me but a good run in one of the cups would be nice....for a change!

Need better back up than Forshaw in the Premiership plus he is injury prone.

Maybe he was just knackered having survived what is said to be the hardest pre season yet. Glad he did and any game time we get out of him will be a bonus. Before the injury (from a different decade!) he was sometimes preferred in certain games to KP so if he can get back to those levels could genuinely play that role.
