With the way our terrible transfer window/defence so far has occurred and our obvious weaker starting 11 to the 6-1 drubbing of Liverpool, adding to their fire power and good signings
We are going to struggle big time on Sunday.

So we go into the new season less Moses, Nzonzi, Bego, probably Shawcross. We've had a lot of poor results pre-season. We've had a pretty shit summer so far haven't we? Don't forget missed out on a lot of our transfer targets!!! I'm in the 'it's only preseason' camp myself and Any interviews with staff or players seem positive and morale seems high, everyone says what a great club it is, and that seems genuine to me (rather than soundbites). ive been disappointed with some of the players like Soares (and other names) that we've missed out on/have refused to come, but you're never really 100% sure which of those were genuine targets anyway...although I do feel MLH seems a bit frustrated when he talks about the transfer market. I cannot not wait for Sunday though....especially as this will give us a chance to dissect all the results from Saturday too!

Yes, I'm sure they have tried everything they can to lure a certain level of player to the club, but I wish we weren't going into the 1st game minus key players from last season with substandard players replacing them. I am a bit concerned by the signings we have made to be honest though it is only pre-season.

I'd rather play Wilson at right back and Cameron in central defence myself.

Bloody hell, it feels like we've gone back a couple of steps from last season.

why do people think Adam isn't fit Because in the friendlies I've seen he's been blowing out of his arse after 10 minutes Adam does his fair share of up and down on the pitch

We need a big atmosphere on Sunday to drag the players to a positive result. Can't have this sense of doom and gloom creeping onto the pitch before a balls even been kicked.

Given pre season fitness and assuming no late signing I predict
Butland Johnson Cameron Muniesa Pieters
Van Ginkel. Whelan Adam
Walters. Diouf. Arnautovic.
Sub to come on
Affelay. Bojan and Joselu

Can't wait to see him smashing them in again. 15+ this season. I also read: "The manager said: "I'm not aware there's anything pending over the next few days, but we're still in the market." = Signing imminent lol

Got to keep myself occupied in the mean time. . . .

With his lamentable running style, turning circle of an oil tanker and general limpness in the challenge, it may, however, be a big ask. Brazilians are supposed to be technically gifted - we get the one who is to football what Les Dawson is to the piano. Germans are supposed to be teak tough - we get the Larry Grayson of centre halves.

Any XI with Johnson and Wollscheid in it, on current evidence, is the wrong one. Both looked awful at the weekend.

Hate to say it - so don't I hear you all say, but a piss poor pre-season when we could only beat Wrexham & an second rate Malayan team. Lost to .....Brentford and others.... Also a few bit part players arriving in the window, unless that changes ..I can see a heavy defeat Sunday and a bit of a struggle. Yes they will need the 12 Man at its loudest.
