AndyJR 0 Posted July 31, 2008 I think it''s impossible to tell until we start the season proper - Although the friendlies are interesting, until we get 6 competitive games under our belt, it''s all guess work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scrimmage 0 Posted July 31, 2008 How are we stronger in numbers? We lost 17 players at the end of last season, and Roeser''s brought in 8. That''s 9 less than last season.I think JC showed much more confidence v spurs, and, although I doubt he will be a part of the first team once roeder brings in a new target man, I think he will be a good off the bench performer. So Bell is no better than Croft, and Kennedy no better than Shacks? I disagree, I think Roeder''s done a fnatastic job this summer on a very tight budget and I think we will be chanllenging in the top half next season.

King Beef 0 Posted July 31, 2008 You''re completely wrong - we''re shorter in numbers but better in quality. Where are you basing your thoughts upon? Would be interesting to see where your point of view is coming from. KB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
