Sitting 7th after 5 games would generally be viewed with optimism. However when you look at the points we've gained. 6pts against the Sheffield clubs that are getting pumped by most teams and two home draws against clubs currently occupy 17th and 20th position seems to point to rather less optimism. Our next 5 games should tell us what to really expect. Brum Blackburn and Soton away. Millwall and Leicester home. Another 8 points from that lot?
Pavarotti couldn't wait to get rid of Nuno after last seasons fallout. Likewise I reckon Nuno couldn't wait to go either but refused to walk without a payoff.
I seem to recall a song about Sgt Sinnett is our friend. Not sure the name is correct. Very early 70s when as I remember there would be police at the back of the north bank behind the Bovver Boys. Anyone remember that?
I see those two myself plus Burgess. Our signings of previous seasons tended to be perhaps one good purchase in 3 or 4. Let's hope that scale improves.
Let's hope this happens. I don't see this as a backward step like some do. Proven goal scorer at this level. Wages may be a bit high but cost us nothing.
It's no real surprise though. Once the bigger cheque books are flashed around we are rarely going to be the same attraction to most players. Hopefully Burgess can fill HD shoes and if nothing else having LOB for half a season has shown us the type of player we are hopefully scouting.
That's sort of where I am. There's no guarantee with anything. Some other clubs will be doing the same and more. But looking forward to the new season this early is unusual for me.
Who honestly seen this coming. Promises made and usually broken. The positivity is as at a long time high with many of us. If the owners are not beginning to win supporters over I don't what those people want. All that said all these positive signings there is no guarantee they will work or gel so I'll stay positive but will temper my expectations.
