A bit early to know, but I'm quite optimistic that it will be a bit better, plenty of talk of new signings and Wintle out, I sense a change of direction.
The next few weeks will give us an idea based more on the signings than the friendlies, can we finally get a decent Striker that will fit our style of play?
I hope we're working hard on Premier loans as they have tended to be our best players in the past, and will we find any overseas Bulut buys?
Miserable! :hehe:
Edit: :ayatollah:
I can barely contain my indifference.
Worse than last season with the current squad, but hopeful we’ve still got some more good signings to come.
Not excited.
I'll wipe the slate clean tho.
And Wintle going means nothing really, still got Ralls, Siopis and Turnbull to slip in his place (slow lethargic static midfielders)
Depends on how many games we get out of Ramsey, and if any of the youger players make the leap
Looking forward to it as ever. See some old faces, on and off the pitch, would love to see new ones in both categories. New signings, of course, are part of the build up but what would really make the season for me would be the emergence of a few of our own youngsters. One or two or even more of them establishing themselves as first teamers and successful first teamers, not just filling a gap, undroppable youngsters. That would be so satisfying.
During the first round of the Euro’s, when the so called “lesser teams”, were bringing excitement back into the game, I couldn’t wait for the season to start.
After watching the “so called”, elite teams playing their “keep the ball, between the back 5 and their poxy little boring triangles”, it bored me shitless and I think i’ll Be staying in the pub
Another season of Bulut ball isn't exciting.
I think we are just treading water under our current set up.
Bookies have us as one of the relegation favs.
If we avoid a relegation battle then we've done well. I dont expect it to be entertaining though.
Nothing to get excited about. No players brought in that will improve our feeble attack, no exciting signings so far. No real squad improvements yet. All the signs point to another season of mediocrity from a workmanlike side who will scrap for each other but lack creativity. We need improvements on the last 7 months of the season to consider a top half place and I don't see that happening as of yet.
Fair enough, it is early let's revisit before the season starts :thumbup:
The best signings usually come in late.
I'm optimistic every year :hehe:
Never learn
Always start optimistic, otherwise whats the point ( I know plenty will disagree with that here :shrug: )
We know we need a Goal scorer, we have for years now
looking forward to seeing if Rubes can push on, maybe even his Brother
Impossible to tell at the moment, I think the two signing have been decent.
Based on last season Willock offers less goals than Grant or Bowler but did get more assists, I think he can be an asset.
Is Chambers better than Phillips? I’m not sure he hasn’t played regularly for a few years.
I would say we need at least 4 players who go straight into the first team plus another couple of squad players of decent quality.
I would guess as ones worth zero and another is rated at 10m there can be an argument for Phillips being better than Chambers.Quote:

I've learned. Thats why I'm only going with the clean slate, and not letting myself get carried away.Quote:

Right now pessimistic, ask me again in September
Optimistic for now.
I love the way a clutch of youngsters have developed in the past year and forced themselves into consideration (and onto the plane to Austria). It is still the time of year when I can dream that Ramsey and O'Dowda will stay fit, that Rubin Colwill will tear up the Championship, and that another 4 or 5 signings (including 2 strikers) will transform the squad. There will be plenty of time for pessimism later, when reality kicks us in the head!
Has anyone mentioned Tommy Conway as an option? Isn't there some FA/FAW rule that we have to sign a certain number of Bristol City players over a rolling 3 year period? He was their top scorer again last season and wants out!
