If anyone thinks our squad is strong they want to take a look at Norwich.

Ruddy, Howson, Martin, Bassong, Turner, Tettey, Redmond, Johnson, Gutierrez, Fer, O'Neill, Hoolihan, Hooper, Becchio, Grabban, Lafferty.

Personally I think they are stronger than us.

We finished below them and were outclassed twice by them and have lost 4 of our better players, all they have lost is Snodgrass.

Hope I'm wrong and there are still rumours of a few more going.

Fer will go and more than likely Redmond will also go. As far as the signing of O'Neill is concerned he is a trier but nothing special. Very average in my book, runs around a lot but tends to pass to the opposition more than his own players. The team I think that are dark horses this year will be Bournemouth.

This might rule them out for a move for Adeyemi so good news

Interesting.

Who's going to get their goals ? Grabbam has gone and so have Tuibbs and Mcqoid.

Interesting signings of Stanislaus from Burnley (Howe's previous club) and Gosling who was a real prospect a few years back.

As an outsider do you think our fan's confidence is justified... it worries me that if we have a bad start- and we've got some really tough early fixtures then things could go sour quickly.

To be honest I can see it being the most open championship in years, and unlike in the past few years you tend to get a team that dominates I cannot see it this time round. Derby will be good and have kept most of their side, as I said I think Bournemouth will be up there, Wolves cannot be ruled out, neither Cardiff, Fulham or Norwich and also cannot dismiss Wigan. Lots of teams will take lots of points off each other. I also think Brentford could surprise a few. My fear for Cardiff is that they have a manager who could be naïve when it comes to the Championship, unlike someone of the ilk of Mick McCarthy who will have Ipswich in the top ten comfortably. Another team that came on strong towards the end of last season and seems to have got things sorted both on and off the pitch are Blackburn.

Lmao outclasses twice by them. We drew the opener, which was a shit game where the only exciting but UNCLASSY and unsporting event was Leroy Fer trying to score from what should have been a gentlemans agreement (passback). the second time we got the points. Your point is irrelevant and redundent

At the away game it was something like 22 shots to 2 we were totally overrun, you clearly weren't there I've never seen such a 1 sided 0 0. The home game wasn't much better, scored our only chances and only Marshall and the woodwork saved us from a hammering.

Can't believe your comments.
