If Pickford , Branthwaite and Tarky got injured we'd go down with this current squad .

 

[Miked1e]

and just think with Ndiaye and Gana are away for AFCON missing at least 5 games over the Christmas period.

Right now I need two positives.

one to cancel out the negative

And one … so I can have a positive

Thanks for the merge mods, i didn't see this one - i know the forum will laugh, but this squad has scored two goals in preason and only one from open play, moyes is making it loud and clear he's a few lossess away from the boot already, no idea what these cowboys are doing regarding signing players. I'm happy we got Charly and a striker in, but the lad up front and the 19 year old defender are not going to keep us up alone.

 

[NeilMorepies]

With Burnley getting close to relying on Broja’s goals to keep them up next season, that is one team we know we can probably finish above.

Now all we need is another two Clubs for us to finish above.

And Aznou.

 

[gonetomorrow]

We're doomed, plain and simple.

 

[Thomasc]

Currently one of the weakest squads in the league.

Injuries to key players Tarks, Branners, Gana, Ndiaye and we are really scraping the barrel to put out a competent match day squad.

Time to change that of course but it’s quite understandable why most fans are now very despondent.

We are the champions… of all relegation battles…

Would’ve be so quick with that, watch Broja bang then in now

Barry will bang in more.

Burnley will be 20th quite comfortably I think. Losing Trafford and Egan-Riley from their rock solid defensive structure are big blows. Broja certainly isn't going to solve their goalscoring issues either.

Is the squad weaker than Wolves? Not sure on that. Wolves seem to be doing what they did last summer, signing randoms and not properly replacing their left hand side of Ait-Nouri/Cunha which was obviously very good.

I also think one injury to Bowen and West Ham are going to struggle to win many games at all.

Add in Brentford who have lost Frank, Mbuemo, Norgaard and imminently Wissa all in one window.

I'm surprised if anyone thinks this club is in serious danger of going down. Last two years it has been one point from first five games and stayed up comfortably under a far worse manager.
