Lets be Positive
at 10:16 28 Jul 2019

I have read a number of negative threads intwined with a few positive ones, but it is fair to say the doom and gloom has already set in before we have kicked a ball for some.

I for one are happy with the transfer activity even though this has been the biggest out and in I can remember. People seem to forget we finished 19th last season and despite the positives pre Christmas it was utter dross in the second half of the year.

I agree we have a lost a couple of useful players, Freeman was our best player so sad to see him go but we got a ok fee for him and wished him luck in the premiership, I think we will be seeing him again next season nonetheless. Matt Smith was popular and affective but for all the reasons that have been articulated on this site (i.e. he wanted to go, last year of contract and we got a fee) it was the right thing to let him go. I have to admit I am not to bothered about the rest, I think Kane will be better than furlong and Wallace will be better than bidwell. Our centre backs were a shower of S**te so the fact we are changing them and bombing out BFG is no worries.

Midfield for me was always lightweight but looked better when Cameron was in the side, he was like a Rolls Royce, classy but broke down a lot. Scowan improved as pushed up the pitch but he can still be called on and Luongo for me is over rated. Clearly we will miss Freeman but hopefully some of the youngsters will step up.

I note we have lost lots of other players such as Pav but again we have replaced well and still have all the youth to call upon as well.

The keeper situation will be hard to understand unless someone explains it but you kind of have to give them the benefit of the doubt here. I think Lumley started very brightly but got sucked in to the vacuum of poor performances so I am not unhappy we have brought someone else in.

So, had we just kept the same team and added a couple of forwards and maybe a defender I think we would have ended up in 19th again or maybe worse, that's an opinion and I appreciate that bright, eze and chair would have all improved but I think some of the other players would have gone the other way.

Concerns around transfer policies are valid, Clive questioned this in one of this reports around managers bringing in their own players and then being sacked in 6 months time, I wholly agree with this and a different longer term strategy is needed.

But they have rolled the dice, if they hadn't we would have been on for another poor season, now the excitement is there as we don't know how the team will perform. We could be a surprise package and finish 18h :-) or we could be the worst team in the league and go down, we will have to be patient though.

Off to the cricket and will be wearing my colours if anyone is watching. Was there yesterday and spotted a QPR flag so know I won't be alone.

Hi, seen you posting on here a couple of times.

I am coming out to Perth at Christmas for a few weeks, staying with family in Subiaco. Managed to bag myself tickets for the ashes in the process, so looking forward to that.

Will they be showing the Watford and Coventry games on Fox? If so do you recommend any decent pubs to watch.

Last time I was out in Perth (Dec 07), I was driving behind a car with a massive QPR sticker in the back. It was either you or you are not alone!

Cheers
