Can't wait for the new season with our new look,
Nordvelt
(new keeper)
Defence
(new centre half)
McKenna (?)
VdH
Amat
Naughton
Olsson
Roberts
(Jordi Govea)
Midfield
Woods
Fer
Dyer
Routs
Carroll
Dhanda
Celina
McKay
Up front
Nmecha (?)
Asoro

With the inevitable loss of still a few more players but also spending that money wisely, we've got a massive chance of being a real strong contender in this league.
Time to get fully behind the Club, a big chance for us.

I just hope our fickle fans , of which there are many, will give the new manager the time he needs to turn things around. I certainly agree with Mr T2C that now is the time to get behind the team and the manager.
If we don't and there are rumblings from the stands, our trigger happy owners will be giving the management team their P45s.
I'm excited to see what they can achieve. |  | | |

Have you seen the state of some of these Championship squads we're competing against? |
Not in detail but strongly suspect the top half from last season (minus Wolves, Cardiff & Fulham) plus WBA & Stoke are definitely ahead of us in terms of quality & depth - that's on the basis that we've already exited 8 + probably both Ayews, Mawson & Borja to follow = 12 & then Fer, Clucas & Bony all out at the season start so that's 15 first team squad exits + new m'mgt/coaching team with a plan for a new system.
Most of the bottom half are weaker but they certainly have more settled set-ups & the 3 who came up will be, at least initially, highly positive.
If we are above 15th after the first 10 matches Potter will have done ok. |  | | |

Brentford, Milwall, Preston |
All 3 of those have broadly settled teams/set-ups, had decent seasons last year & would expect to finish in the top half this season. | | | |

No need to panic we will have Tom Carroll bossing our midfield in the championship.
On a positive of those I expect to still be here next season
Fede
VDH
Olson
Clucas
Fer
Oli
Are top half championship or lower PL standard
Plus
Im hoping the some of the youngsters can step up & a few new signings
Unfortunately we are burdened with the likes of Dyer, Naughton & Routledge who drain away too big a salary from the club whilst offering very little. [Post edited 6 Jul 2018 15:58]

Do you think they have more quality and depth than we do? | | | |

No but they are settled & hardened to the Championship & we all know how easily football players confidence gets damaged if results/decisions start spinning against them | | | |

Considering the pitiful capitulation last season,just how the feck could we possibly be anything like a great championship side
Fook.. We still have Jenkins in charge of finances and players ,let's not kid ourselves
We can hope, we can post this uber positive crap on sites like this but we know the truth is far removed . | | | |

No creative playmaker in that squad though which we will desperately lack again if not sorted. When we supposedly can’t afford half a million for a Yeovil player it’s worryinh. | | | |

All we need is Res coming on here spouting his visionary outlook on the new season.........that has just set us up for a season of struggle.
There is being optimistic, then there is just being thick as fook. |  |

if we start next season with Naughton then we are seriously looking at falling down another division. |
Naughton was one of the few players who did well for us last season. Please lay off him and give him a chance this season |  |

Prefer optimism to the pitiful pessism that has swamped this site since relegation and before. | |

"Did well" is an exaggeration but he wasn't one of the main offenders. | | | |

There is hope, there always is but optimism is a long way off........reality tells you that.
The pessimism that you talk of, that was the doing of the sell outs and their ignorance to the football club. | |

Well if that's pretty much the squad we go with we will be in trouble.
I am understand where you coming from in the way the likes of Bartley and mcburnie have done well but the reasons we got relegated last season will still be there...no creativity whatsoever.
The championship isn't as strong but I don't believe the players you name will be anymore creative in this league
Solve the creative issue with 3/4 and we may have a great season.
Oh yes the firepower will be depleted too with the ayews,bony and baston likely leaving. | | | |

I'm not in charge of transfers but watching Chadli the other night it makes you think what may have been had we pushed the boat out for him. Although he was injured most of the season.
I'm also not to blame for Clement.
But I did write a few posts claiming we'd see a better brand of football than the long ball, set piece. One trick pony and wardrobe shit we saw from the season before.
For the reasons stated in the first 2 paragraphs that didn't happen.
All my fault though 😂😂 |
No blame attached to you Res but a removal of your Siggy and Llorente blinkers would be nice. I do call in question your ability to call it and saying there would be a return to a better brand fell well short so you can hardly blame me if I don't buy into your vision of a "Great Championship side already or the strong nucleus of one" of the the squad Nordfeldt has hardly played any first team football for almost 3 years, in defence there are question marks over Naughton (wants out) Fede (board want him out) Amat (wants to stay in Spain) Olsson (getting old) Roberts and Govea (both young and Jordi untested), Midfield Fer (still injured and was poor in the championship for Qpr) Clucas (still injured)Dyer (can't beat a man) Routledge (should be glue) and Caroll (interest from Celtic?) Bony (wants out/crocked) Olly (one year left/wants out?/failure to get him to sign a new deal) So a lot of them want out or their Swansea futures are in doubt and with a reluctance not to sign unless we move on it doesn't seem like a good squad or a nucleus to me. Clement was to blame for his own downfall. |  | | |

Jack Evans has signed a year extension so he's ahead of Ryan Blair in the holding midfielder list.
Was excellent through the back end of last season for the u23s. | | | |

I was optimistic that we would play football again with Mesa being an indication that might be the case, but was concerned about our recruitment team.
Once the window had closed it seemed likely that we were relying on 2 youngsters coming good and that we had signed the Bony that had left us.
This season Potter is a positive but i’ll Wait until the window closes to see what our squad is before getting optimistic. | | | |

We will all be behind the team and Graham Potter from the off. Some on here confuse loyalty to Jenkins and co as disloyalty to the club which is nonsensical. |  |
