I like our business, bit of a coup getting Morris here as well as Olejnik. Saah should be easily good enough and I'm hopeful about Howe. I'm willing to bet good money he gets more goals for us than Harrold does for Rovers if they play a similar amount of games, and you wouldn't have had to shell out money for him!
Pre season has gone about as well as it possibly could have done and I feel we're ready for a decent mid table season. There are a stack of clubs with worse squads than us, Accrington have sold off their best players and barely replaced any either so I think they will be poor this year on top of the usual suspects. Hereford, Cheltenham, Macc, Morecambe, Burton to name just a few poor sides in this league.
Really looking forward to this season now, just hope we get a good start as it'll relieve some/any pressure on us and also keep brucie away from posting. Win-Win!
I think you guys will do fine, think Ling has done some decent business bringing in a few quality L2 players. I think you're capable of a mid-table position if you don't get many injuries.
I'll take you up on the above offer, I personally think Harrold will score more than Howe and will bet up to £50. I've been really impressed with Harrold, he won't be prolific but we have loads of goals throughout the team, what he will bring is excellent hold up play and he wins loads of headers. I compared him to Howe when he first signed but having seen more of him they're 2 different type of players. I've been to 5 of the 7 friendlies so far and we haven't looked the same threat when he hasn't been in the team. I think Howe will get 10-12 goals if he's fit all season, he certainly won't break the 15 goal barrier, even though his pre-season form may suggest otherwise.
I disagree with friendly gas on Bevan and the reception he got. He's done well this pre-season and has only conceded 2 goals. The only thing he did wrong last night was stay on his line when Long was through on goal but he made up for it by making a good save. Having seen Burnley and Reading there's no doubt who were the better team, I think Burnley will struggle to finish in the top 10.
Can't wait for the season to start now, bit nervous about the first 2 games but it will be a great atmosphere at the Mem on the 13th. Looking forward to the banter.
