We'll see. His career stats aren't brilliant but it's how he performs with us that counts now. I thought he was a LB but says RB on wiki so if that's right we're well stocked there now.

It’s all a bit uninspiring really. A manager with a very patchy record and a set of signings which look to be bargain basement at first glance.

 

I’m happy to give Xisco a chance, but unless the quality of signings improves, I can’t see anything other than  a long, hard season ahead.

I'm expecting a hard season whoever we sign, I can't see the quality being great this first season back. Hopefully good enough to keep us up at least then see if the quality can be improved on after that. Unknown quantities these new guys so hopefully they can surprise us.

7 days to kick off.

 

I could do with a few more weeks off footy to be honest.

 

Can't see where our goals are going to come from at all.

As it stands I would totally expect us to really struggle.

Well, he’s spent a sum total of 5 months managing in the Championship.

 

Granted he was fortunate enough to gain a promotion during that time.

 

Good win percentage whilst at Watford, but only a 31% and a 30% win percentage in his 2 jobs since.

 

I genuinely fear for the guy, considering the transfer funds seemingly available, the huge task of a top 6 finish, the current squad, the competition and wealth in that league this coming season (probably the strongest for years) and of course the club owner.

I don't think he's expected to get in the top 6. Yes Chansiri said we'd go for it but just a top half finish with this squad at the minute would be an achievement, unless he has a few million hidden away for the manager to use.

Agree with the rest but I wasn't that confident with Moore going into the championship so we'll see.
