Kick off on Saturday and I'm trying to think where we are as a team now.
Some have come, some have gone, but no hooper, talk of Austin. I'd have thought it better to start with a settled team and not spend the first few weeks of the season with players who might not be here in a week or so's time.
Thoughts please.
Cheers

Im surprised how quiet the last 2days have been, esp when Tony came out and said what he said on twitter 
Hopefully alot is going on behind the scenes.
As for sat im quite happy with who we can field atm but we have to get some in before the end of the window esp a striker, Iv got a feeling Harry is waiting for Prem teams to confirm their 25 |  |

Its inevitable especially with the PL season starting two weeks after us and them not having to name their squads just yet so we will get some PL rejects late August |  | | |

Got a feeling, with Dunne lacking match fitness and Granero failing to impress in pre-season that it will be:
Green
Simpson/ Hill/ Onuoha/ Yun
SWP/ Mbia/ Henry/ Hoilett
Johnson Zamora
Would have Ale in there all day long but we know it won't happen. |  | | |

Despite positive talk, there seems a lack of action, I suppose we know the reason why. I think finances dictate we have to move players out before we get any in and this may be key to how we lost Hooper and may again be the reason, assuming its not a failed medical, why we might lose Austin. That won't be such a blow if we still have Remy, as long as he is committed to play for us.
It seems that once again we are scratching around at the wrong end of the transfer window trying to build a team and I hope it doesn't yield the same results as when we were last in this position. I fear our incomplete team may suffer on Saturday and I think its a mess. I also get a feeling there is friction between manager and board and a feeling of frustration all round. I'm not sure this is the best atmosphere to start the season with. To counter that I went to first game last season feeling optimistic.......... |  |

we lost hooper because he wanted to play in the premier league,he said himself in an interview that he was very close to joining us but the draw of the premier league was to good to turn down.i dont see how anyone at the club can be blamed for that. | | | |

The problem is that we still need to offload players. We will have a stable side for Saturday but don't expect we will have a striker or two in for a few weeks. Shame about Hooper, would love Austin, really rate him - but we are having to start again, so we need to get the right strikers in on the right money.
I agree with Clive. Encouraging but slightly underwhelming draw Saturday.  |  |

How about we swap Faurlin for Granero. I prefer AF, but think Granero is injured anyway. On the face of it that doesn't look too shabby, but neither did our team on the first day last season and look what happened to that. | |

Simpson Hill Onuoha Yun
Taarabt Faurlin Henry Hoilett
Johnson Remy (or his replacement)
I'm still hopeful that Adel won't go, and will win 'arry's trust and so on (blind faith, I know). As for Remy, I'm still hoping that if he goes out on loan, it'll only be after a cheaper replacement is brought in.
Score in Saturday? 3-1 win to the SuperHoops! |  |

I think we've done OK in the transfer market. I'd like to have seen us shifting a few more out but there's still time. After August I'd expect to bring in at least 2 loanees from PL clubs. No names, no information, just educated guesses.
I think we're likely to be defensively strong, competitive in midfield but weak up front. At the moment, I can foresee lots of low scoring games. And it won't be pretty.
Saturday, subject to injuries, I think we'll start with
Green; Simpson, Onouha, Hill Yun; SWP, Henry, Granero, Hoilett; Zamora, AJ
But only about 4 of those are racing certainties. Dunne could play instead of Hill, Traore, if still here, instead of Yun. In midfield, any of Mbia, Derry, Faurlin or Jenas could be selected. If fit, Remy would be a shoe in, but replacing which other striker. |  |

As a team we are a bit of a mess which isn't so strange for a relegated team.
It won't be until September that we have a settled team and even then will take time for them to get used to playing with each other.
I would imagine a very rocky start with HR leaving around November with us in about 14th/15th and a new man joining providing us with a strong finish to take us to 9th/10th
Season after this one, when a load of contracts expire, we might make a dent towards the top half |  |

take a winany way it comes but think it will be 1-1 at best and can see a settled, confident, newly promoted Weds win 1-2.

I expect the team that started against Southend to start as others have suggested. If Remy is still with us then may as well have him on the bench and use him if required. Interesting hearing Peter Beagrie calling us the harlem globetrotters due to the star names we've "managed" to keep hold of. Did he not watch us last year?? |  | | |

All depends on whether Hoilett and SWP put a shift in this season. Can't say I'm over confident. |  | | |

That item with Beagrie last night was incredible. He talked about how a team with Tarrabt and Remy in would walk the division which is probably true but neither will be playing for us this season |  | | |

I reckon with SWP and Hoilett on the wings they could tear up the championship.
2-0 to the R's and more importantly no injuries please |  |

I hate Beagrie with a passion. The man knows less about football than my nan. How he has a job in the media is unbelieveable. Must have worn out his knees getting it I imagine. |  |
