So, the team last season that scored 34 goals is, with the addition of Beto and a ropey looking Danjuma and the subtraction of an even more chronic DCL, going to hit 45+ goals that'll keep us out of the relegation fight?

I dont see it.

Chermiti, Harrison, Mcneil as well. Plus Beto and probably another.

Our XG this season is nearly 5 over the 3 games (most of that in the 2 home games). Keep that up and the goals will come. If we were creating nothing then that'd be different.

I’d say Beto, Danjuma , DCL and Harrison plus contribution from McNeill, Tarkowski and a few who contribute 2-3 goals is infinitely more potent than Maupay and a perma-injured DCL were last season.
Vault me, but on what I’ve seen in the two home games I think we’ll be OK and finish around 12th to 16th and will definitely score more than 36.
That said, a repeat of the Villa debacle and we’re nailed on for the Championship.
Recruitment under Thelwall has been more encouraging than it has been although frustrating due to the financial shackles caused by the recklessness of the previous encumbents.

I deal in reality not xg.

This lot have no fortitude.

We need 3 or 4 in by Thursday. We cant operate with players with no resolve and players who are going to break down every couple of months.

This is a paper thin squad.

Three games in and all I see is two hard luck stories and a horror show.

I'm not seeing what we have in this squad right now as enough to get us safe never mind 12th to 16th.


There's 105 points to go and we need 40 of them - presuming that we get no points deduction.

This is a club that ran up 39 and 36 points in the last two seasons. We are right under the cosh now and needing other clubs to have seasons where they crater and get high 20s / low 30s points wise.

We're in massive trouble here and I'll say right now that after 6 games we'll be pointless and almost gone with what we have at our disposal.
