Where will Trollope take us?

[Blue in the Face]

Just a few tangible reasons for optimism here...

1. Immers. Last year he proved to the glue between midfield and attack. He also looks like he could be the outfield leader we've needed for a long time. This time, injuries permitting, well have him for the whole season.

2. Purified squad. Yes we are getting wasteful wages off the outgoings, but does this make our playing squad weaker than last year? Perhaps we will be stronger if the squad if there is a more unanimously healthy work ethic.

3. Formation. Provided our players can implement it properly, the change of set up means we might have a good start to the season. Our opponents won't have much research material to go on to know how to break us down. It could take some time into the season to work us out. If we have a good start, that will breed confidence and ease pressure.

Who wrote that shit? They said we had 4 or 5 match winners then say there are no stand out players?!??

We have lost the only real goalscorer of any account in jones. He was lazy and infuriating but he had prem experience and would have got 15 to 20 goals all day long in this league. Zohore is a poor replacement imo. We a relying on "footballing" our way through the league this season if that makes sense. Manga,conns, fabio, john, richards noone, pilkington, whitts, ralls are all nice footballers. Can they defend for their lives or tough a game out.... No!! Manga has been found out before when a game gets tough. The only real in your face players we have are pelts and big sean? We dont have a huds or big ben. As m
Much as i am looking fwd to a better style of play.... We are just not strong enough to last the course

Conolly has won promotion from this division 4 times but can't defend for his life?

Have a feeling Immers might tick both boxes this year

Unless I've missed something, we've only signed one Welsh player. Other than that all I've heard are the usual speculative media stories linking us with Jonny and George Williams.

Correct. Signed 4 players of which 1 is Welsh.

I can understand the argument for not signing players just because they are Welsh. But the argument goes the same goes in reverse - we shouldn't not sign players because they are. Obviously PT's highest profile player contacts seem to be Welshies, so he is right to exploit the best connections he has where possible...
