[Albion] Your “here we go” pre season mojo

[Flounce]

Things have moved on in a very exciting way since the last mojo thread.

Where is yours today?

I am up from a 5 to a 9

What no 11 ?

Team looking the canines gonads, especially if we get Rutter in.

Only concern would be FH and if he could step up. RDZ had more experience when he came in (but that means nothing otherwise we'd have gone for Fat Sam or Warnock), however that's stopping my 9 or 9.988

Sorry, I have already exceeded my 10 posts for the day and can’t change it anyway

Same here - before, I was a bit 'meh', but after this summer's signings, I'm really excited about this season.

We’ve done some amazing business and I know I sound spoilt and entitled but I am still concerned that we are going into our first match with James Milner starting centre midfield.

A two weeks ago I was like a 4/5. I think that may have been the riots impacting on my mood. Now I'm a solid 9 and can't wait. I've missed the Albion.

I voted SIX - but not because of any discontent on my part - just summer apathy.

I'm immersed in my cricket right now, and have barely given the Albion any thought at all. I'm sure once I'm in my WSU perch, singing GOSBTS, it will all coming flooding back - but not yet.

Three cricket matches yet, and still in an outside chance of promotion. Fuming with the TV twats for selecting the United game, but putting it early Saturday rather than Sunday - I have a tough choice to make next week

And very much, this.

Was going to leave a bit to go up when we replace Igor and sign a new right back but the beans have been blown after last night.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

I don't think I've ever been a 10 pre season before, but I am now.
Bring it on!

Big fat nine.

Great business being done this window and an exciting young coach to take us (hopefully) to the next level. Impressed with our pressing, passing and finishing last Saturday and it looks like we've added two superb young talents to the group since then.

Bit worried about midfield solidity and right back still - the squad looks a little too big and a lot unbalanced. But I trust us to sort that out by the time the window slams shut.

That bit might have taken me down to an 8 but I'm back up to 9 in terms of looking forward to Saturday. 3pm Saturday long distance away day. My favourite start to a weekend. Morning Buckfast anyone?

If we sign Ferdi and Rutter I will personally shag the Amex

Ferdi in and it's a 9.

Plus, an upgrade on Igor or Webster and it's a 12.

This, assuming Rutter is the attacking CM.

If we get all three above and O'Riley it's a 17.

You can't buy that sort of experience without spending mega bucks....so you get an older player. He'll run the show with younger players feeding off his knowledge

9/10. But also wary. I remember my pre season mojo when we bought Zamora just a couple of days before the season kicked off.
First game at Roots Hall, Albion fans singing ‘bring on the Champions’ followed by a 2-0 loss to Southend.
It will take time for the new players to click but overall an amazing summer window, so far.

 

[SweatyMexican]

To be honest, I think I was mentally exhausted end of last season . I forgot about the Albion for a month, and then the Euros happened, and suddenly we’ve signed £150 million pounds worth of players playing what looks like suicide attacking football, and suddenly I’m looking forward to the season again.

Can’t wait to get Dyche’d on Saturday.

 

[Brovion]

Unbalanced squad and we still have areas of weakness, lot of new signings which might take time to bed in - plus some might look exciting on Youtube playing in inferior competitions and in friendlies but might not make the grade in the PL, unproven manager who may struggle to impose himself if things go wrong, and of course Everton and the dreaded 'Dycheball' up first.

10.

I think this is right. I think we're in for an exciting season, but it is likely to take a bit of time to click. I think the 25/26 season is the one we can really get excited about.
