We have 2 days to Save our Season - The Real Panic Thread

[Guest optimistic nit]

we're not standing still though tsunami. as long as we improve every season and are going in the right direction i will support the board, and we are clearly much better than last season.

 

we are better in the transfer market (we are, compare our signings this season to last), we play better football, we have more confidence, we look like we can beat teams, we're taking the academy seriously. all of these are massive positives for me, and the squad IS better than it was last season, we've sold 3 players in the first team (although emre was injured for most of the season) and signed three better ones, and bassong looks like he could make it 4. we also have 26 hours to sign new players.

It is very early days to be including Collocini and Guthrie as improvements over the outgoing players. Collocini has the pedigree but could fail to adjust to this league (he wouldn't be the first) and Guthrie is still just a promising youngster who has made a good start at his new club. All in all I would say the first team has improved slightly while the squad has possibly gone backwards. It certainly hasn't been investment and improvement matching the ambition levels that have been set by Ashley and Keegan so far, and while we still depend on the likes of Ameobi and Smith to start matches or come off the bench to force things when we are losing it´s hard to claim we are moving forward significantly.
