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

[RandyWanger]

I want to be an 11 but then I remember Bart is injured.

 

[A1X]

9

If we sign Ferdi (or any first team right back) then it'll be a full house.

Until we get Dyched and it'll be back to about 3.

 

[Han Solo]

8. Going to be a 10 before it kicks off!

8
2 Points off as Right back and keeper is weak

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

I'm exactly the same. Haven't really followed much of the pre season. Don't know anything about any of the players we've signed. Probably couldn't actually name half of them if you asked me. Very much a punt on a manager who has done very little in football and nothing in top flight football.

Give it a month though and I'm sure it'll be a lot higher as in Tony we trust.

 

[SweatyMexican]

Dyche will be a good first test as he plays proper football. None of this tippy tappy nonsense. Get it up the field, son.

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

Voted 8, just because of so many changes, manager and so many players this season, I'm just not used to it and it almost feels like a reset button, but I am personally not wanting such a big reset in one go.

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

I voted 7 for similar reasons. Maybe my age but it feels too early to be starting football again. No doubt once I'm at the game I'll get the bug again but right now I'm enjoying other non football stuff and I'm a little sad that that will end or I'll have to ditch the football for a bit longer.

Feel good, but frankly havent got a clue whats going to happen.

 

[MJsGhost]

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

I wonder if he'll make reference to our transfer spend in his presser...

Probably. He’s always a bitter arsehole

 

[sydney]

new coach is clearly going for pinball football , will it gel quick enough , we owe everton a pasting so if we beat them ill probably stay up all night and watch the UFC on sunday morning and wander into monday like the walking dead with a hangover , possibly even a sick day .....7.8

 

[dazzer6666]

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?

Probably best not as I’m driving up

Keeper isn’t weak, he’s just missing a couple of games with a niggle

 

[sir_gullahad]

Voted 9 on the basis of being excited by all the transfer moves, but having little idea how it all comes together on the pitch.

I feel the club has earned my trust on that score, so pretty ruddy good, overall!

 

[Brightonfan1983]

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

Exactly. I've lost count of the times I've read a younger player praise him for helping them with this thing or that, be it the football or attitude. 22 years is bound to slow one down a bit and he won't do 90 mins too often anymore, but having him there amongst the youngsters (ie everyone else) is great.

 

[Jeremiah]

a conservative 7 as I don't really know any of the new signings and they might not be very good in the Prem. However, it does give you a lift to see new people coming in.

Anyone not doing this tonight needs to have a serious word with themselves!!!

10/10 for me.

Best transfer window in our history. By a distance.

Our amazing Chairman wants top six again and has given FH & team a brilliant chance of achieving it.
