Hypothetically…

We all know the areas we both need, and want, to strengthen. Hypothetically if we were to get Hoppe (done surely?!), Strand Larsen, Chouhdury and Hannibal, do we think that would be enough for us to mount a promotion challenge?
 
No from me. We are miles away. We have some good players but are not consistent enough and we are no where near nasty enough about winning. We need some right rsoles in the team that want to win at all costs.
 
Nowhere near good enough up top to be certain of top 6, midfield neither, those possibles listed above don’t replace Tav. We dealt with that badly, every team gets a replacement before agreeing to sell, but no, not our negotiating team. Now any transfer enquiries we make are met with inflated prices and as such we are falling behind and will be playing catch up. It isn’t season defining, but the longer it goes on the more likely it will be.

I was so optimistic after Wilder’s comments after last season. He doesn’t appear to be being supported with the right quality up front as yet and CM, well nobody as yet, from where I am looking.

I was pleased with the early season signings of Giles and Lenihan and to a lesser degree Robinson. Jurys out on Forss, but a decent start tbf. He needs a strong partner up there, Hoppe could be anything, don’t expect anything but this being a mistake, but if he isn’t I will be chuffed and admit I was hasty.
After Saturday, Jury out on keeper too, looks (I’ll be kind) rusty.

Will Chuba score 12-15 goals…….. no IMHO.

We are lacking as a minimum
1. LCM box to box
2. Strong proven G/S Striker
3. Strong proven G/S Striker
4. LCB
5. CDM

As things stand I see us finishing 8-10th, get those 5 sorted with quality loans and signings then top 6. By the time the window shuts is the time to say whether top 2 is doable, but Gibbo needs to show ambition, but teams will look at the Tav/Spence money and want a whack of it. We need to learn from our mistakes, not repeat them. UTB

Still trying to be hopeful, but the vibes seem we are trying to be Brentford, but without the quality recruitment, still time for it to change though so 🤞
 
Our problem will continue to be scoring enough goals if we’re continuing our seemingly endless policy of signing unproven goal scorers - we might have a problem keeping them out as well the way things are going 😵‍💫 at the moment we’re like an unfinished jigsaw
 
The problem is our forward planning is woeful. We are shouting from the roof tops that we are in chains being held up by Premier League clubs for players, yet we allow players to leave without replacements ready to come straight in? It is rank amateur stuff.
 
I think we all have that hope that whoever comes in hits the ground running and we can give it a proper go this year 👍🏻
I guess we’ll see the start of this ground running fairly soon …….

It‘s a big fat absolutely yes from me. 👍
