NUFCDoog Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Only so many times we can tell ourselves the opposition are so shit that's why they're getting results. They looked decent against Derby and good today by all accounts. Hopefully an early season flourish before the rot sets in but this leagues shite so they might be alright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Derby and Norwich are tougher on paper, mind. They're both selling any decent player they have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We would be like the mackems themselves if we refused to accept that they have had a canny start and have a much better chance of bouncing straight back up than all of us thought. They do need to fatten up that squad though which is paper thin and will get exposed once they get into the league games a week period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully an early season flourish before the rot sets in but this leagues shite so they might be alright i've thought they looked good the 2 times i've seen them if tbph, look very comfortable at that level and know their gameplan etc. rather well they might surprise a few people if they bring some more players in to get them through a long season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Grabban has made a huge difference so far, he looked lively against Derby even though they were shite in general. Hope it's just a lucky streak but he's given them some cutting edge with Defoe gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AY Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Mackems have started well but surely their squad is too thin. No attacking options behind Grabban (that can score) and they can't trust him to play 45+ games? They have decent XI but after that it's a dross of a team.

While they were 1-0 up the other night, a few local reporters at Hillsborough were tweeting that Grayson's "excellent start" was continuing. While yes, that looked to be the case, it means next to nothing in awful slog that is the championship. Teams are much more prone to going on good and bad runs - shooting up or dropping like a stone - down there than they are in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
