Getting Worried For Next Season?

[Trigger]

I'm not overly worried at this moment in time, just slightly worried, once we sign our new goalscoring striker that little bit of worry will go.

Close friend. I'll eat my hat if it doesn't happen by Friday afternoon

how would you lie your hat sir, fried roasted or raw

From the outside, and I haven't see any of you friendlies, It's notable how many goals you are conceding, is that not a worry?

to be fair the goals have been leaked once gus brings on the youth teamers, or in the second half with less established players

I must read match reports before passing comment.....

A little disturbing we can only draw with Bognor and lose to Whitehawk and Eastbourne, we really should have players of higher quality/fitness levels than them but I guess, the pitches equalize things a bit, I'll reserve judgement until we have played a game or two at Div One level - we badly need Lua Lua back.

So, what impact do pre-season friendlies have on league performance then?

Hmmmm.

25th July 2009:

Leyton Orient 6 Newcastle United 1

..........

2nd May 2010:

Newcastle United - Champions of The Championship with 102 points.

8th May 2010:

Leyton Orient - 17th in League One with 51 points. Exactly half Newcastle's total, in the division below.

In other words, shut up you boring twat!

As Ernest said NOTHING more than a 3 NIL win at Swindon will SUFFICE.

How can you see we are "defo in need of major fire power"?

And why did you bounce this ridiculous thread? In an attempt to back up this poor point?

Well how can i say will need fire power? think 90% on here would agree plus Gus said he wanted a 25 goal man not me.

and why did i bounce this tread? because why start another one on the same
subject? when i am starting to worry but only a little.

l admire your confidence that we WILL sign this 'goalscoring' striker.

Just wish l shared your optimism.

I think being a tad worried given the pre season don't matter results so far and the fact that we only have one recognised striker and a promising signing from Plymouth is OK?

If we are settling for survival then I don't think that there is much to worry about tbh. If we are expecting to mount a promotion or play off challenge I'm certainly worried that we aren't good enough yet

I like this thread, the total abuse Steve Foster got has been toned down a little, which is nice.

Seriously, 9 pages?

yes nine pages but every day that go's by without us signing the players we need, like a
FREE SCORING striker, STEVE FOSTERS thread seems more relevant.

That's a very good point. I'll phone Gus now and tell him to get off his arse and try to find a striker. I don't suppose he's been trying to do that since last season, so someone had better remind him the new season is nearly upon us.

Not really we already have one he is called Glenn Murray. Look at his record and if he can avoid stupid suspensions he can be that striker. This thread is a joke

and why not? Look at his record when he plays and avoids stupid suspensions he gets goals and assists.

Don't get me wrong hope I'm proved
Wrong and him and barnes score
Lots of goals.
