Think we are going to get done but hope for a revival... surely it's possible with Jota, Gallagher, Adams and Boga!!! |

Would really really love us to get 3 points here as massively needed but I'd definitely take a point. A lot more excited for matches now with this squad which is nice! COYB! |

Agree - this has the potential to be very exciting this season - a little Barry Fry-esque as we genuinely wont know what team is going to play game after game - and after 5 years of no options I'll take that We may not get promoted but we hopefully won't be bored to tears |

From the way Leeds have started the season and the way we have I can only see one outcome. I hate to say it, but, I can see this ending in another Bournemouth score line. |

We may well lose but surely you would not "take" a defeat no matter who we are against!? Anyway 1-1 for me, we looked better on the ball Saturday and given time we may well have a decent side on our hands. KRO |

Sorry, your right, I'm still hung over from the last game. No we should never ever take a defeat. **thumbup |

Tough game, honestly don't know what line up he will go with, think a lot depends on Adams, if he fit to start then he may go 2 up top, if not might pack the midfield out to stop them playing. We need to do the ugly things well in this game or we will be overrun. We can't afford to concede within the first 10min thats for sure! |

Agree with what was said above.. 7 games in with 1 win is not ok. It HAS to be a win only. Otherwise pressure goes up on Harry because this isn't good enough. |

Problem is that he doesn't trust Gardner or N'Doye so he played Lowe and Davis who equally let him down. No sympathy. We spent all of the window wasting our time on doomed to fail transfers when we could have got someone decent in. |

I disagree about it being a must win game. Leeds are on a roll at the moment. Their stats are P6 F12 A2 Pts14. A draw away at Leeds would be an excellent result for any team at the moment, not just Blues. People are being far too quick to condemn the signings after just one match. Give them time to settle in and then judge them. There is far too much negativity about the place at the moment. Edited by Blacksmith, Sep 12 2017, 09:43 AM.

Lowe didn't let anyone down. And they don't let 'him' down, they let 'us' down... Edited by LUBES, Sep 12 2017, 09:48 AM.

I think the expectation from the board should be this is must win. It's obviously not going to shape our season or determine the final position. Harry should be doing better than this, though... I'd sack him if he lost the next 2 games personally. He's a good manager so hopefully it doesn't come to that, I love Harry... |

The Board have already sent out a message after Saturday that things may get worse before they get better, so I don't think they necessarily have an expectation of a win. Not expecting anything, but a draw would be a good result. |

Did I read that right sack him if we lose the next 2???????????????? So you back the guy give him cash to spend brings in loads of players and you give him 3 matches for the players to bed in and get results........ |

Yes? If we lose our next 2 games that's 25% of the season done with virtually no points.. We've seen with Rowett in charge that even with our previous squad of poor players we were mid table. So to spend £20m+ and be at the bottom is unacceptable. High performing cultures aren't built on relaxed expectations. I know this very well from my own professional career.. |

However with the new players you only allow him 3 matches before sacking him? |

But, even under Rowett we knew that the players just weren't good enough. They were being found out and were getting very poor results. Sheer hard work just wansn't enough, we needed an injection of cash to take us to the next level. Rowett was sacked, unfairly, without being given the cash to show what he could do. Zola squandered the money he was given and Harry saved us from going down. Someone on here said that Zola should have been given a pre season, but that pre season would have been in Division 1. Redknapp has brought in better players and I feel we are moving in the right direction. It is imperative that we all stick together and help to drive the team forwards by getting behind them at every opportunity. We also need to be patient. We were a wreck under Yeung et al and it will take time to correct the mismanagement of those years. If we are patient I'm sure we will get there, but we have to be realistic. This match will be very difficult and we cannot demand a win. What we can demand is a fully committed performance. |

You think Harry is communicating relaxed expectations to the players? I certainly don't. He's frozen out anyone he deems to be 'not good enough' and has consistently said he's building a squad to challenge at the top of the table. It was less than two weeks ago that all the jigsaw pieces came into place in terms of our transfer dealings and is still incredibly early on in the season. To demonstrate this: Crystal Palace in 2003/04 season were in 20th position at the end of November and still ended up being promoted through the playoffs. No panic. 'Arry will come good with this squad. Edited by willvbcfc, Sep 12 2017, 12:42 PM.

Who knows what he's communicating but that performance against Norwich wasn't a fired up one, similar to the away performance at Southampton under Bruce when we'd signed Pandiani and Pennant. I expected similar enthusiasm from our quality players. I guess my expectations are just a lot higher than some! Harry just after Bruce is the most likeable manager we've had; so I wish him the best. I'm very unimpressed by what he's achieved thus far. I will say something though, get hammered this weekend and I GUARANTEE you will all be saying something different. Here's to a Blues win I hope... I thought he'd be the manager to take us up. Also said the same about Bruce at b6, however! Edited by PA_nomore!, Sep 12 2017, 01:15 PM.

Right now I'd take that. Could do without the grief will get from the Leeds fans tomorrow at work if it's a thinking we take. |
