Season expectations 2017-18

[AV5nobs]

I have never known such hullabaloo over friendlies before.

Didn't you know we should be hammering these teams a division below us 6 nil. It's the law.

Especially from the YouTube safety net.

No one's saying we should be hammering them six nil. Just that we shouldn't be looking worse than them. Is that so outlandish?

What on earth is the YouTube safety net?

We'll absolutely bore our way to around 12th. Thats ok though because Bruce has pedigree and just needs a Pre-season behind him.

For all his faults Bruce knows how to get teams out of the Championship. And yeah, having a pre-season helps.

but only for fitness, tactics and passing the ball to each other aren't things you can work on in 8 months during the season or in pre-season, all the other teams that do it must be cheating.

[Matt Collins]

Yeah pre season didn't make any difference to Huddersfield last season

Live streaming of friendlies has kicked up a shitstorm as far as I'm concerned, I've been to about four in nearly forty years.
Not a Bruce man myself, but lets wait for the first 3 or 4 games before a balanced opinion is voiced.

Absolutely nailed on comment mate.

I've been to Pre season games pre Big Ron, Little, Gregory and so forth and been so drunk I couldn't remember anything, all seasons have surprised me at some point, but this pre season for all to see online is definitely dangerous for mass opinions.

So, people are not allowed to form opinions outside of true competition?
Okay, but the problem with that is: what gets done in practice often repeats in the real world. Our poor passing, indifferent set pieces, lack of movement and static defence become the norm, if practised enough.

[Matt Collins]

I think we're all concerned. We'd all wanted to see much better passing and penetration; and that Bruce has worked out a plan to get the most out of our players

There's little sign of that so far

But I don't think we can make the judgment until a fair few games in. Even if he's doing all the right  things in pre season or still might take a dozen or so games to really take effect

We've been a fucking shambles for ages. It's a big job to turn this around money or not

9th.

[AV5nobs]

Ok I'm taking £50 bets on us going up top 2, any takers? I'm very easy to find.

[PeterWithesShin]

Stick a few grand on it and show us the betting slip works just as well. In fact better than asking people to bet on hoping we fail, which no one does want.

[ciggiesnbeer]

[AV5nobs]

Thought as much.

I will do receipts for any sceptics.

[ciggiesnbeer]

I was just goofing off I happen to agree with you. I think we will be top 2. But I cant deny I am nervous about it.

That's a no then?

No surprise.
