Leicester have been heavily linked with Chair....who both played in 5-0 defeat at Oxford. may have ability, but not been on show for a while - questionable attitudes? Wouldn't mind either, but do wonder what has been going on at that club. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ainsworth sacked within the first couple of months. Fans already seem very worried about him/their season.
I know he gets his teams to play possession football, but I would hate us to play the way that Russel Martin had Swansea playing. It was very dull for the most part. Keeping the ball but very rarely threatening the opposition goal also killed the atmosphere (admittedly this is going off the one game, our 0-0 draw there last season). Maybe Southampton will have better players than Swansea and will therefore have more of a cutting edge. However, I much prefer the way we play which is possession with a purpose.Leeds are the only team of the three relegated that have a manager with a proven track record in this division. Leicester's manager failed in his previous managerial job and Southampton's manager has never won promotion from any league despite playing attractive football. Logic dictates the three relegated sides have the most money and usually the best players, but that doesn't guarantee success.

But let in more?Swansea scored 10 more goals than us.
Yes, so their games were hardly dullBut let in more?
I can’t for the life of me understand the Sunderland hype that seems to be everywhere. Almost every 1-24 I’m seeing has them in the play-offs and I just don’t get it. Their squad looks bang average on paper and their signings aren’t particularly impressive. Felt like a big over achievement, mainly fuelled by momentum and Diallo that got them to the play-offs last year and I just can’t see them repeating it.
Not even saying that because of our ‘faux rivalry’ with them because I find all that incredibly embarrassing.
We all know about Tony Mowbray's brilliant track record of replacing high performing loansI agree. No big name loans this season to carry them and Jobe is overhyped and nowhere near his brother. If he was an eighth as good as Jude is he wouldn't be leaving Brum for 3m.
Also track record of collapsing second half of seaosn but that didn't happen did it?We all know about Tony Mowbray's brilliant track record of replacing high performing loans

Didn’t know that and my comments about them were based on our two games against them and the comments I heard from the Swansea supporters around us at the away game (we were in their hospitality area).Swansea scored 10 more goals than us.
Feel like we've got a great shot this season but is dependent on keeping Hamer, other than the relegated teams I think we could be the best of the rest.
Central midfield is a lot less dynamic without him in there.We would easily still be in contention without hamer
Fucking good I am , about 4 years in a row8th -10th
