How many mistakes do players make? Remember that silly keeper that panic passed a ball and got caught and and then opponets scored. :banghead: Remember when that player put the ball through his own net during a big Derby game :banghead: Two players who for last 2 seasons are the first names on the Team Sheet **thumbup Now i am not saying Taylor and Ridgewell are carp, we just got use one incident to judge a player :copno: I think we will have a tough season, and it depends on tactics and if players can keep fit, happy and up for it :Blues: Bottom Line is aslong as we score against the lower sides, as Wolves, Stoke, Hull, Wigan and Burnley are all sides who could still be beat often by Championship sides they are not all vastly greater than a Reading of last 2 seasons. |

Well, this will be pretty much McLeish's team. As long as they play like ateam, they will do ok. Even the shower we had last year played brilliantly, when they played as a team - (ok, not that often.) So, in short, I'm not at all sure it is the individual players that matter so much. It's what the coaches can do with them. And let's be positive about this.... please... |

I seriously dont understand some of our 'fans' thinking over this summer... I dont know if its one too many :lager: or the withdrawal symptoms from the football, but everyone is seemingly being wrote off! McFadden - IS our most creative player, without doubt. Larsson - Immediately said he wants out of our club, with no proof to back this up, yet everyone decides its true because of agent drivel Carsley - 'Too old'. 'Not good enough' - He was in the top 3 of our players of the season last year easily, and is a big part of what we're looking to achieve next year IMO and will be first name on the team sheet if hes fit. Maik Taylor - Best goalie we've had down there for ages, without doubt... to call him overrated is a bit harsh on Maik... he rescued us so many times last year, we wouldnt have been promoted without him. Queudrue - Our player of the year (rightfully, or not rightfully so... im not arguing that), who, yeah, wont be ideal at left back in the Prem... but to ship him out is a bit OTT, simply use him as one of our centre halves, the guy can play there, he's calm and composed, tries to play the ball out of the back... has a bit of passion for the club, and has Prem experience. Then to write off the new players without seeing them play is harsh too. Joe Hart - One of the countries hottest prospects, and a future England international Scott Dann - Been tipped for the top since his Walsall days, yes he makes mistakes, but look at Vidic vs Liverpool at Old Trafford last year when Liverpool won 4-1 Roger Johnson - The one I think will settle in the best out of our new centre halves, and be a real rock at the back behind us, which, arguably, has been missing since the Cunningham/Upson days. Giovanny Espinoza - I doubt anyone on here other than the recently joined Ecuadorian's, have seen much of him, but for the money we paid, and his experience, surely cant be that bad a player to just be cover? Barry Ferguson - Is careful in possession, which is what we need... in games next year, we wont get much time on the ball, so we need to make the most of what we do have... Ferguson will be a big part of this, and I think, for the snip £1m we paid for him, we could have a signing of the season. Lee Bowyer - We know what we'll get from him, determined, creative midfielder, who gives his all. Christian Benitez - Pace, power, nimble, tricky, goalscoring striker... Sounds good to me. Obviously it might not happen, or not straight away, but give him time, and we'll see what happens...definately a very exciting signing in my eyes. |

Am gonna be positive and believe with an above average season we have the team and ability to finish 13th or 14th this season. I stiull think that we'll have another striker in before the start of the season. I have been away so haven't had any reports from austria, have the lads been creating chances. Have heard from sources within the club that it's unlikely that Benitez won't be available till middle of September at the earliest has anybody else heard this. I am not drunk but I really think we can go to manure and get a result and if we do the confidence the boys can gain from that will be worth 6 points. Getting excited, and just hoping Blues play with a lack of fear because that will get the fans behind them, bring it on. |

Yeh, but let's face it demood, to most, you are a joke on here and there are many who doubt you even support the blues, so your opinion is hardly valid :LMAO: |

what is this guy on? LIVERPOOL were after maik taylor last summer, he surely cant that bad? i like many on here think he is the reason we are back in the prem, even though i would still prefer joe hart in goal v manure. Also i go to coventry uni and hav m8s that support cov and they love they guy, yes he's young but every1 needs a chance and this is his chance to shine, i reckon when ridgewell is back it will him and johnson as our CB. everyone is entitled to their opinion, but in my opinion your opinion stinks |

Only way that will happen is if we have about 20pts by then **thumbup We may get relegated but i doubt it would be before last 4 games even if we are carp :banner: I think we need to wait and see our first 10 games as far as points go, unless the points and performances are dire after first 5-6 games of the season. I think we should aim for 5pts after first 5 games if we get less than that i am sure McLeish will be under Pressure. My Prediction was 6-7pts but after the performance today if we play simlar and dont stengthen our side and if Benitez is a flop then we could be looking at 2-3pts :banghead: |

OK here is my bottom half of the table with a current honest view of teams potential places. West Ham (10-14) Bolton (10-16) Portsmouth (13-17) -----------------> Wigan and Blackburn could go down and Portsmouth and Wigan also in a fight aswell. Wigan (13-18) Wolves (16-19) ---------------> Blackburn (13-18) Gonna be close between these sides Birmingham (16-19) Stoke (16-19) ----------------> Hull (17-20) Burnley (18-20) Hull and Burnley would seem to be favorites but one could stay up but i doubt a both will. So 1 from Hull and Burnley. Another from Blues, Wolves, Stoke and maybe other of above. Possible that Blackburn or Wigan could go down. Cant rule out Portsmouth or Bolton but should be safe (but i guess Boro and Newcastle could had been said the same and Southhampton when they came down). I think Fulham and West Ham could find themselves outside bottom 6 unless they have injuries etc. |

i think fulham may struggle because of this europa league they have qualified for. there is alot of extra games involved in this (im not sure exactly how many) so i think they may be suprise strugglers because im not sure they have a big squad :banner: :Blues: |

Yes i forgot that can have a effect with the more games, remember Bolton **thumbup oh and Portsmouth **thumbup Maybe Villa as they got Champions League this year :LMAO: I think Blackburn had a bad time last season and their side looks weaker this season :ball: |

personally i think we need another 2 -3 players atm or we could end up getting relegated we need another left back as one is nowhere near fit and the other is very slow we need another striker as the current crop will struggle, i'd rather sell 2 of em and bring in another striker we need another winger as we lack pace on the wings |

The old negative andy wood ,would have said agree 100% **thumbup **thumbup the new positive andy wood(since my heart to heart ),would say how very dare you kev? :copno: :copno: You my fellow Bluenose have not taken into consideration the other 4 or 5 players to sign before the transfer window closes,INCLUDING the special £90,000 a week midfield play maker from Spain(sold a few season tickets on the back of this one ,i for one can't wait to see who it is ?? Rest assured Goldie and Sully won't let us down,and i expect Benetiz to score at least 5 goals deflected off his crutch to add to his overall tally of 7 , Here's looking forward to being the surprise package in the prem this season. positive,positive mental attitude |

**thumbup spot on Andy, and to add to the positivity I understand Roy the boy will be player-coach leading from the back and plugging the hole we seem to have in defence. |

I don't disagree with the original poster but lets look at it another way, if you take Blues team from the first evergame in the Premiership and did the same thing Vaesen, ...best days are behind him Kenna, good defender, links well with Johnson, but slow an often skinned Grainger, brilliant defender, but is he getting on a bit?? Cunningham, great defender,but again see above Tebily , 100 per cent, but prone to mistakes Purse, good defender but likely to get a red card Johnson D, drifts in and out of the game and doesn't cover enough ground Cisse, makes reckless challenges and mistakes, but solid Hughes, great midfielder but has he got what it takes to be premiership?? Horsfield great striker, my fave BLUES PLAYER IN THIS TEAM Lazaridis superb winger , but is he fit enough for the premiership? Stern John, could score a few Subs Darren Carter untried at this level Michael Johnson could do well Mooney,will score but will he get a chance I think we'll be relegated with that team above...........lol and guess what we survived!! i don't really think we'll know until about 10 games in, i seriously don't expect us to be in the top half i don't think any of us do..do we??? |

But we had Mark Bowen as Coach and the hearts and minds of every player in that Squad.... Brucie also bought really well during the January Transfer Window and that was the difference: Clemence, Upson, Dugarry, Clapham et al! **thumbup |
