TheTinMan Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Just a reminder we scored 36 goals in 46 games last season. We've lost Waghorn from that attack and signed nobody from an attacking point of view. I'd love to know where people are getting this optimism that we're suddenly going to start winning games or that the first 11 is even half decent.

B4ev6is Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Well Richard's is looking sharp and fit and cashin looks like a good young players and we also jack station and that young Irish player that could add goals for us . And when consider joswick might play a bit further forward that he did last season and plus max bird got his first goal that will give the lads some confordance.

Rambalin Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 With the players available to start we have very experienced and capable back four. A midfield containing a decent Scots man and at least two depending on formation of the young players most wanted in the team last season. A forward line of a current international from the euro's a Welsh international who maybe feels he has a point to prove and a journeyman striker who did OK last year. So a few clubs would be ok with that.... But I will grant you we have a lack of depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan(atic) comes from the latin fanaticus - to do with being from a temple. or a member of the temple My point being - You can no more choose your football team than you can choose to believe in god - You either have that particularly unfortunate 'faith' or you don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I do feel a bit like a deflated balloon with the low attendance and the club struggling atm. But, I'm sure by 10.00am tomorrow I'll be excited finally getting back to pride park and having a loud sing song getting behind the lads and hopefully see us pull off a result.

EnigmaRam Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I’m also looking forward to the game tomorrow. It’s been a long time coming getting to a competitive game with the lock down. These young lads will never have a better opportunity of staking a claim as a first team regular due to the shortage of senior players. I just hope they prove that they’re good enough and don’t let the occasion get the better of them. Regardless of what Rooney said we ARE the underdogs due to our current situation, but I love that. Hopefully the sense of entitlement and expectations that have plagued us the last 4-5 years will have gone away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It's certainly going to be interesting. I dunno if it's the usual preseason unsubstantiated and unrealistic optimism but I actually think, despite everything stacked against us, that we'll be ok. Sure, lower half of the table but, so long as the points deduction is not more than 6 points, we'll be safe from relegation. COYR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess a lot of fans feel the same way. I am looking forward to the first game of the season but not looking forward to it at the same time. So much joy that fans are back in the stadium supporting our team and yet anxious about our prospects. Mixed emotions! Do you feel the same? ?
