[Albion] Albion MOJO - changed since start of season?

[larus]

So, after 3 games. how are we all feeling now?

Having sold 2 big players for us, there was come concern from some people that we'd be a weaker team this season. Obviously, it's still early days, but the new additions to the squad look very exciting and you could make a case that we're actually a stronger team.

Our last 12 PL games would suggest that we've become a very good team (things started to click into place) and that our position at the end of last season should not be a one-off, or even a perceived ceiling.

Just to re-cap, our last 12 results are:

D   BHA      0-0 Norwich
W   Arsenal  1-2 BHA
W   Spurs    0-1 BHA
L   Man C    3-0 BHA
D   BHA      2-2 Southampton
W   Wolves   0-3 BHA
W   BHA      4-0 Man U
D   Leeds    1-1 BHA
W   BHA      3-1 West Ham
W   Manu U   1-2 BHA
D   BHA      0-0 Newcastle
W   West Ham 0-2 West Ham

Was 7 now 8.

Was 7 now 8.

That’s what I was going to say. Thought we’d survive the player losses, but this start exceeds what I hoped. And today Estupinan came on and seems to have impressed…….

Would of been have been happy with 5 points from 1st 3 games 2 away draws and beating Newcastle at home. As it goes 2 away wins and only getting a point at-home!! My mojo was 4 to 5 after losing Cuca but it seems we haven't missed him as of yet. Right now I'm about 7 to 8

We started last season well too, a bit early but things are looking positive

What odds are we to go down this season ?

 

[ozzygull]

I am really happy. I am at 9 at the moment. Especially after I watched the interview with Tony Bloom. Love the club

 

[Coldeanseagull]

How bad must west ham be to be beaten at home... by west ham!

 

[AmexRuislip]

Albion Mojo as good as its always been

 

[Superphil]

Mine has gone up quite a bit. I was worried when we started selling the Crown Jewels but I’m seeing that we do have a plan for these eventualities. Hope we don’t become the EPL’s nursery club, because in the medium term I don’t think it will work.

 

[banjo]

Good. A well established premier League team.

 

[Bozza]

Buzzing.

I was away on holiday #BadFan for our first two games meaning I wasn't in football mode at all.

Today's performance was so assured that I really can't wait for next weekend's game. With both sides starting the season well, it could be an absolute cracker.

(I appreciate, I've just invited a dull nil-nil to the party)

 

[GT49er]

OKish at the moment. We got 12 points from the first 5 matches last season. Absolutely no chance of doing that this season!

 

[Frankworthington]

About the same. I was predicting a top-ten finish despite the departures.

I am probably going to be crucified for saying it, but I think we look a better team without Biss. We seem to play more direct and move the ball quicker.

Still expect Maupay to leave and be replaced by a younger Welbeck-type player but very happy with the squad

My needle has been stuck on a 10, ever since it was clear Potter tried to play football how it should be played.
It's also been notable since Potter has come in, how much the squad plays for him.
He has got just about 95% of decisions right lmo, which is very difficult in the managing of all those hungry young men and playing against the level of teams and manager he faces.
His multi formulas has been so refreshing to the old school Hughton style of predictability.

The likelihood of a certain relegation battle is diminishing.

No crucifixions here. Before I read your comment, I was thinking that we seem not to have missed two of our best players, Bissouma and Cucurella, something which I didn't predict. Indeed, rather than miss them, we seem to have improved without them. And that was even before we saw Estupinan come on for 20 minutes yesterday.

I suppose it is inevitable that we begin compare Caicedo with Bissouma, to see where the difference in performances has arisen. Both of them are good at breaking up play, but as you say, 'We seem to play more direct and move the ball quicker'. Is it the introduction of Caicedo, the departure of Bissouma, or both? My money's on both.

What odds are we to go down this season ?

Currently, best priced @ 30/1
Top price for Man U is 25/1

 

[bhafc99]

Is it greedy to say I’m a tad frustrated that Gross or Lallana didn’t put away their chances against Newcastle, because then we’d be 3 wins out of 3?!

 

[Icy Gull]

Always quite high but this is the first season since we got promoted where I am not convinced we’ll be in the relegation mix. Not saying we won’t be but I am not expecting it.

I am expecting to be looking up rather than down every weekend….
