Yeah, we're as slow as fook at the back, look at how Cagliari tore through us.
If Radz is thinking Firpo/Struijk are the answer at LB he's having a laugh. They'll get tore a new one every week. Struijk is a CB end of. Firpo, I've no idea what he is, but certainly not a footballer.

Rodrigo flatters to deceive, one performance against piss poor opposition doesn't convince me at all.

We're also short of cover up top
Other than that it's all good man
How do you think we will do today WR?

Same team that beat cagliari. All eggs in 1 basket for Jesse March. It's do or die for him this season still think we are 3 players short creative midfielder striker and LB. We shall now see how good that 6-2 result against a league 2 Italian side is.

Lots of new faces, new formation, I wouldn't be hugely disappointed with a draw as long as the performance was positive. Obviously hoping for all 3 points, but I think it's fair to say that we are in transition so it may take time for players to bed in.

Looking at that team above scares the life out of me. I really hope the new boys are has good as most of you think they are cos the rest of that team is average at best. We need a injury free season or i feel we will be in big trouble again.
Bamford key for us today we need him to hit the ground running and avoid any niggly injuries.
Having only witnessed 2 of the friendly games and discounting the Cagliari game has a exhibition match i think it may be a narrow deafeat.
It's going to be a long season with so many changes but is something we had to do. Everybody wanted us to buy new players and not rely anymore on the players who got us promoted. We did just that. Ok i understand we sold two of our best players but we are not City or Chelsea. Time will tell if we are right or wrong

3-0 to us, but. I'm always optimistic.
Gelhardt should start ahead of Rodrigo as he's done very little as an experienced international pro in two seasons.
Gelhardt showed he can turn a match last season, I don't see Rodrigo cutting it against EPL opposition, but would be delighted if he comes good.
We need to beat teams like Wolves at home.
3 nil would be great and if we hit the ground running today would be possible.
Although the "0" part would be an achievement in itself!
Wont be long now.
I am bricking it

Worried about the lack of pace in our defence combined with pushing too far up is a recipe for disaster against a quick wolves attack. Hoping a draw or better but fear the worst.
