Realistic ambitions for the seadon

rjlfc · August 8, 2011

So, here we go. How do people honestly think we'll do? I've been suckered into having unrealistic expectations at the start of each season over recent years, even last. Like most of us I presume. This season is different. I love kenny, and I think we've made some solid signings. Adam will give us a bit of forward momentum just infront of Lucas and downing is as good as we've had on the left for a while (not hard I know). Not sure by Henderson yet, looks to have quite a few misplaced passes in him, hopefully he'll improve on this as he's certainly got an engine on him.

I think caroll will get better and I think Suarez is world class. So lots of reason for optimism.

However, I have a nagging doubt our lack of pace and 'quick movement'. Ibalso dont think our strikers Have decent backup. Ngog clearly isn't wanted or good enough and despite dirks decent cameos up front he was moved away from there long ago as he's not really a striker anymore. I'm also concerned by our defence. I don't think we've ever really replaced hyppia and carra is on the decline. Likewise we are desperate for a lb which we'll lll hopefully solve soon.

I'm really looking forward to the season but I think top 4 will be a real battle. Can't think anymore positively than that, but will be chuffed if we do that.
