Reasons why I think we will go up

Thu Aug 09, 2012 3:24 pm

1. Malky Mackay. He did incredibly well last season to guide us to 6th and League Cup Final. The defensive backbone of the team has been together for a while and they work well as a unit. Malky has the ability to get the best of the players at his disposal. Our squad last year was mid table at best. To finish where we did was a real achievement.
2. Quality new signings-Bellers, Mutch, Helgusson, the Slovenian whose name escapes me plus Kim bo add real quality to the squad. Add these to the likes of Whitts, Mason and Turner and the squad is strong.
3. Team spirit appears strong-Deadwood trouble makers like Gerrard are off the scene which will further galvanise the squad.
4. Rivals-Leicester appear to have a strong squad but there is no one to fear. The relegated teams apart from Bolton will struggle to make top 6 and the promoted teams will all do okay but wont make top 6.

I think we will finish 2nd behind Leicester.

What does everyone else think?

We say that every year and I have to agree with Cymru Am Byth, we have to look at ourselves here and not other teams, look how much we have improved and hopefully a few more additions. :ayatollah:

I think that all 3 teams that came down have stronger squads than us and I expect all 3 to be near the top. Brighton are looking good with quality additions, Sheff Weds could be there or thereabouts and then theres Boro/Blackpool/Leicester, etc. I think that we would have done well to get into the play offs.

Arun Gunarrsson sat in front of the defence, with Whitts pulling the strings
behind Bellamy, Kim Bo,Helgusson, Mason or Velikonja?

We'll be tearing teams new arses this season.

Oh and we havent finished signing players yet :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Oh and Mutch, forgot about him :lol: :lol: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

The fact that Bellamy is coming back says a lot about his REAL spirit on the pitch.
Malky is signing him, say no more!

There have been countless grumbles about the famous Mackay dossier :roll:

Dont hear anyone grumbling now. Why? Because we have faith in the gaffer
and we KNOW that our new signings will be grafters as well as match winners :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
