FAO NSC Hard Of Thinking: Reminder: The Albion’s Last Three Opponents...

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Atletico Madrid - 2016-17 – Semi-finalists, UEFA Champions League. Third place, La Liga
Manchester City – 2016-17 – Round of 16, UEFA Champions League. Third place, Premier League
Leicester City – 2016-17 – Quarter-finalists, UEFA Champions League.

Just a thought, but maybe judge our our season's prospects when the transfer window shuts and we've played the likes of Watford, West Brom, Bournemouth and Newcastle.

Writing off our prospects of Premier League survival before the end of September at the earliest is just displaying your ignorance, frankly.

 

[Eeyore]

Very true. My reservations are more about how the team is going to be set up this season. Are we being too defensive, or waiting for the right personnel to adjust things ?

 

[Ernest]

Atletico Madrid lucky to get a draw against Gerona in their first LL game

Patronising those who believe differently to you shows yours.

Blindly believing that things will get better just because we "have a few games under our belt" fails to understand our obvious shortcomings. We are desperately short of pace and our first touch is very poor. The new goal keeper frightens me already. That's just a thought.

Anyone half sensible wouldn't judge a team after 2 games of the season, having played one of the best sides in Europe and a very decent Leicester side.
To be honest the season is a bonus to myself and many others I'm sure and I will enjoy the season and back the team no matter what happens. If we stay up great if we don't life carries on and those who just enjoy watching the Albion no matter what will be back next season in the Championship anyway. We will make a few more improvements yet I'm sure and the team will get better the more they play together.
Like all sites the trolls come out the woodwork if you lose and I'm sure there will be many a person in here that knows better than the manager as the season progresses. The rest of us will enjoy the ride no matter what.

Well quite THPP, but its true that most sensible people know this and are off enjoying Sunday than engaging with the trolls and fools on here. Kudos for you for taking them on! I expect there is someone similar on the Bournemouth, Palace, Newcastle and West Ham boards preaching the same

 

[Ernest]

How about the Albion's last 5 games PL 5 W0 D1 L4 scored 1 (a penalty) conceded 8

Take very little pleasure in stating the bleeding obvious mate. But sometimes it just needs stating in pure and simple terms. Else the lunatics get to take over the asylum unchallenged.

Indeed - also thinking that if we pay big money for a player they will automatically be effective

Wow! Always credited you with being far better than that. Your post makes no sense in the context of the thread. Which (as you appear to have aligned yourself with The Hard Of Thinking) was that the transfer window's not yet closed (and we've not even yet seen our record Columbian signing, work permit permitting) and that our next four games are potentially far more winnable than the last three.

 

[Glawstergull]

?
Your point on a sense of perspective is spot on.
Your thread title and last line just winds people unnecessarily.

Your thread title and last line just winds people unnecessarily.

Good point, well made.

But an eye-catching thread title usually stands a better chance of getting a decent debate going. Which is what it's all about, eh? Everybody gets to state their opinion.

One of the things that always makes me laugh about NSC is how Black and White everything is to people on here. We are either shit and gonna be down by October or all in the garden is rosy and you are incontinent for believing otherwise! Truth at this point is somewhere in between. We don't look good, the performance Vs Leicester was poor, but our record signing hasn't played yet, we are in the market for a new striker which we clearly need and possibly one or two others. We will also play worse teams than the two we have played. Truth is no one knows where we are currently, lets all wait and see eh?

 

[carlzeiss]

final 3 fixtures also look rather tough .

 

[Glawstergull]

What we have achieved cannot be taken away but now we are here I only want us to give it our best possible shot. I'm also totally up for the ride but don't fancy feeling the same disappointment every time I leave a ground. We will improve. We must improve.

 

[Coach_Carter_92]

Also our 2 league games have been against recent league champions

I don't think it's the same people though. Wins bring out the positive posters and losses the manic depressives.

tell you what though watching most games so far the quality we are up against is frightening
