I fear Varane may be one of those “minor” injuries that keeps a player out for 2-3 months. Hopefully not as we ain’t winning many with Chopper Colback until he gets injured too.
Back in the pub. Make no mistake we will get sucked into something of a relegation battle against all odds. Don’t even know where to begin with how bad that was.
That second goal was quite something. I’m so, so bored of Paal. A senior player and consistently weak as piss and clearly just seeing the season out. Not the only culprit by any means but that was a coward’s performance.
Against a team with a severely weakened defence you’d think what they don’t want is pace and balls in behind. Doubt they’d mind Chair playing about slowly in front of them. They certainly wouldn’t mind him constantly dropping back to the halfway line to then slowly start an attack.
I’d love to see us bloody the noses of Leeds and Burnley but it’s got the feel of a few being 5% off it as contracts wind down and assuming those aren’t extended that’ll only worsen. Chances are we bumble our way to a win or two as most teams are as good/bad as we are. Be nice to send Cardiff towards the drop but think they’ll be fine.
Preston v Coventry followed by QPR v Norwich live from the Michigan Stadium. Hope I have enough loyalty points.
In all seriousness we can’t afford to start this season like the last two. Pre-season has a purpose and we looked well off it from what I saw of the friendlies and obviously the early league games.
Saying that, would be nice to play somewhere fun, cheap and reasonably hot.
Writing off Kelman entirely seems silly to me. If we spent a bit on a 23-year-old at Orient playing and scoring regularly we’d be mildly optimistic. How poor he was before matters little.
If Cifuentes has decided against him then fine but I’d be telling him he’s got a real chance here with a decent pre-season.
Money probably. Doubt Celar and Frey are on small money given the way Frey’s contract was supposedly done from those more ITK on here. Everyone wants a striker and they ain’t cheap if they’re known to be good enough. If we were in a more desperate position at the time looking down or in a very good one looking up then maybe it would have been different.
