better squad than we got promoted

Thu Aug 08, 2019 5:26 pm

Loads to be positive about. Tomlin looks up for it, CM looks beefed up and warnock is still here. CF still a worry but it is what it is. The big German might be a find.

Not at all bothered Bobby Reid gone he was to light wait and had no grit. Give me a team full of Paterson's every day of the week.

We are a well run club now and long may that continue. Every club and manager has hits and misses in transfer market. We just move on and put away the negatives.

How about some realism? Dosent matter is we have a better squad. Other teams are miles away from what they where two years ago. Championship last season was a pass and move league. Here is another realism. First you have Dalman saying, after how many years? "We have learned our lesson planning ahead" Then you have Warnock saying " We are giving it a go!". Well, are we? What is our net transfers this year? 0? Not bothered about Reid? How about eery other player we spunked out on and not playing?
Bumpy ride ahead. And a bit of realism..

Yes Tomlin's still here, looks up for it but still won't get a look in. Feeling so negative after this last week :banghead:

Anyone else concerned that while a lot of time and effort has gone in to signing giants. We seem to lack a consistent reliable dead ball specialist?? Ralls is handy but hardly whitts. Tomlin is handy but doesn't play. Bacuna can belt it but doesn't take direct free kicks. Hoilett again. Handy but hardly consistent.

I'm personally baffled at getting rid of Reid. But we didn't have him when we went up and part of Warnock's charm is his ability to build a team rather than recruit individual players. ... But I wonder if this is a bit if an oversight??

Pack is just what we need. Keep Reid fantastic but even if he leaves we got Tomlin

Agree with this - much better squad than last time with a gaffer who has the most experience in how to get out this league - the disappointment of the window will be gone in 2 weeks if we get some results - bigger picture.

That we already had a very good squad before this window and still have one now. We got promoted last time with a squad with much less quality and people were underwhelmed by many a signing back then as well. Just because we haven’t signed any marquee names doesn’t mean we can’t compete - Warnock has been promoted with worse squads.

just a question, if this is a better squad than we got promoted with, does failure to win promotion mean a failure this season ?
