Who wouldn't be excited. It'll be like watching a new team. When it comes down to where we'll finish it will have a lot to do with not making crucial defensive errors, and taking one or two of the goalscoring chances that come our way. Such is the way matches are decided.
I don't think we're up to scratch in those areas and may well find ourselves struggling in the 1st couple of months. Whilst Morison has done a superb job making the changes and getting the wage bill down, I'm sure he knows that it's still a results business.
I'm happy with 4 at the back and a stronger central midfield for sure. Can't say I'm as excited as Morrison promised though! I guess we'll have to see what other new players rock up before the window closes, maybe he'll surprise us.
It will be interesting to see if Morrison figures and whether he can adapt. He's been Capt hoofit under a succession of managers who advocated this approach so I don't know if he can learn to instinctively pass it from the back. Same could be said about Nelson and McGuiness too though the latter has time on his side.
Problem was, on Saturday, the Shrew's winger was stood still and Kipre nearly knee-capped him! I can see him being sent off and/or giving away a penalty this Saturday.
Can't say I'm excited about this season. More nervous about how matters on the pitch will pan out. I can see plenty of 0:0s at HT with us going for it in the second half. Playing balls more centrally will help reduce the one dimensional aspect of our play and add some creativity/interest.
More apprehension than excitement for me with so many new signings (only one of whom is an established Championship player) and the lack of any new striker/s.
At best I think we will look solid , at worst......
I thought we looked good in possession, won the ball back very quickly and made some good opportunities from open play, but the defending for the two goals we conceded was shocking.
If we get a decent striker we could do ok, but as it stands I can see us conceding at least a goal a game, unless he can improve things in defence quickly.
