BlackSocksRedTops 3,476 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Too early...? Have a mixed cocktail of nerves/trepidation/excitement and its only Tuesday. Feckin hate pre-season with avengeance! Who will start? Who's fit? After pre-season we seem to be in the land of Johnny Nash with "More questions than answers..." PS. Mods please feel free to sparkle your collective goldust on this most basic of threads with appropriate titles etc...

Subs (9?): McCrorie, Balogun/King, Danilo, Sakala, Lundstram, Dowell, Sterling, Rice, Matondo. (Unaware of quota stipulations, if there are any feel free to quash my bench).

The fact we’ve bought 9 players and only 5 get in the team perhaps suggests our summer recruitment isn’t quite as good as has been made out. And that defence hasn’t improved at all from what was our weak area last season. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just a bit staggered that we're fielding the same defensive quartet as last season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree completely, it’s not as if we had the Iron Curtain at the back, which is where we lost a lot of points and ultimately all domestic trophies last time round. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
