Chill out everybody will yer .......

RE:The promoted teams

I think Hull had spent a lot in the Promotion season. They had built-in quality. Dave Allen spent at least a million over and above what he originally gave to Sturrock.

 

This is something that really bothers me.

We were narrowly relegated in 2002.  If there were such a gap between the lower ranks of the second division and the upper echelons of the third, how come we didn't storm the third division in 02/03?  Whilst other off-field matters undoubtedly took their toll, it is fair to say that the supposed gap was not evident.

Why then, three years on, are we looking upon the Championship as some sort of insurmountible quantum leap?
We'll be reight, if only just.

 

RE: Great thread

Some top points posted on here

Also the atmosphere in the first game should be electric. The team should be more motivated than ever after what McPhail said about us needing 6 new players. Bet he dosen't get some boot

Actually, thinking abart it, the gret puff will probably throw a sickie (bummers)

 

Aye but

We look like starting with a weak squad.</p>

Burns - not replaced</p>

Vaughan - not replaced</p>

Mcfail - not replaced</p>

Less than 6 weeks to the starts of the season and we need a stronger squad not a weaker one.</p>

 

True enough

Better cover is needed in many positions, and experience perhaps even more so.
But the fact remains that a bunch af very average toilers can make doin this league as we have proved many times over the years.  So I don'tsee any need to panic at this stage.
