Lower West Brain Traysers The hosts don't rate Clement, and don't see any creativity in our team.
Not particularly concerned by that currently.
I am, as I was last season
Also concerned there is, and will be, too much 'At least we're better than last season, and that's good enough for me' stuff. We were rubbish, so incredibly low bar to set. All teams need to improve every season, else you are standing still/going backwards.
More pertinent will be 'How many teams are we better than?'. Some in here picking us 10th, so with our signings, are we now really better than 15 other teams in this division? I'm not seeing it right now, but we'll see. Who are we actually confident of beating?
Have we done enough? Time will tell, but doubt we've scared anyone with our recruitment. As was said, Baldock and McNulty are finishers, and won't create much on their own.
Ian, imo, part of why Bacuna was in def was cos he wasn't much in midfield. Assuming he's still here, that needs to change, cos he likely won't dislodge Yiadom at RB this year. Bod needs to step up, at 6'3 heading a football would help. Agree, Aluko should improve, but to what extent? Swift could be anything.
