Might be asking a bit much there

Promoted by tomorrow?
Well according to SB we’ll be a top flight club by then. Much to be excited about.Feels like an age till next game even though it isn't
Can’t believe some of goddens misses…the one where Wright hit the bar I was sure he would at least hit the targetJust watched the extended highlights and yup plenty to be encouraged by
Even godden. Yes he's going through a bad run and I don't want him as a starter much but if he plays alot he's still gonna score goals in this team
Keep hamer , add 2-3 more players and we can get autos
Yeah it's a shame. Robins seemed bit annoyed at his mishit from the low corner too.Can’t believe some of goddens misses…the one where Wright hit the bar I was sure he would at least hit the target

I wonder if his confidence and rhythm has taken a knock after going from being our number one 'bagsman' to being on the pitch purely to selflessly create space for Vik and even have penalties taken off him.Strange one with Godden really, his finishing use to be top draw.
I think he was referring to Godden missing the follow up not Wright.Wright did hit the target. It was a fantastic save if you look carefully, his fingers just tipped it onto the crossbar.
Team has to settle in - particularly upfront. Leicester should be challenging for automatic with that squad so hardly a disasterous result.
Started last season with only 1 win and 4 draws in first 10 games & couldn't score a goal so hardly panic stations yet.
Yes, and of the three it will be Robins that gets a hattrick...?I wouldnt mind betting Robins will start with Simms and Wright against Wimbledon.
PARKLIFE!FFS, the comments here are ridiculous. And why are we asking this question after one game ? It's like judging your favourite ice cream by looking at the ingredients. Some things I've read: Thomas lost his man for one of the goals, Milan looked out of his depth, Ellis couldn't hit a barn door etc....
Our starting defence is 3/5ths new (should have been 4/5ths but we played Eccles instead of Saka or Milan), our strike force is 2/3rds fresh in the door. Only the midfield is settled from last season. How on earth can anyone make a solid opinion based on one game ? I'll say this, Wright came on and he'd had ONE training session (officially). He probably didn't even know half his teammates names. Ellis looked out of place but we seemed to be playing him in the same role as Vik and he's not the same style of player. Milan looked nervous and gave the ball away too much but again, he's had 1 weeks training with the team. Does he even fully understand the role he's playing yet ?
People on this forum are jumping to conclusions when they have no actual evidence of what the team will be like. We just lost out to a Prem team in all but position yesterday. The only differences were Dewsbury Hall and that our strikers couldn't see the net to hit it. That's not bad.
The only negative I'll voice this early is Hamer's departure. He's only been in training for a week or two so he was probably knackered and out on his feet. He had to come off. But a partially fit Hamer is still miles better than anyone else we or Leicester had. So we need to worry about the next 4 weeks. If he signs with someone else before then, who have we got to replace him ? Or do we tell him he can go in the Jan window to give us time to find replacements and if offers are there or he can go next season for free ?
The team are not going to get on the same page until a few weeks training and playing together. Better close this thread until game 5 or 6 and then see what folks say.
My opinions. Take them or leave them.
Would love to know what goes through his mind
I was slightly fearful yesterday that Leicester would show their "Premiership Class" which the Sky commentary team kept blabbing on about, but after the first 15 mins which was a bit nervy, we controlled the game, and looked dangerous on the counter. All of the new signings looked really good that started (and Wright off the bench). MVE looks like he needs work, but not easy coming on for your debut in that game. He's an attacking wing back and we were defending a lead. Very un-Robins like change that, but perhaps he wanted that 2nd goal to kill them off.
FFS, the comments here are ridiculous. And why are we asking this question after one game ? It's like judging your favourite ice cream by looking at the ingredients..
I have 2 points to make on this comment.
1 - The OP was asking a question about whether we are more optimistic or not which is not unreasonable. Optimism is a general feeling that can be based on anything from first impressions to detailed analysis.
2 - Rum and Raisin

ThisOn the whole we played very good , if we had taken our chances we could have walked away with 3 point easily. Lesta are nothing special and I think they will struggle for automatic promotion.
some of our football yesterday was sublime to watch so I think give the new boys a couple or so games to gel and onwards and upwards. MR I think is building something very special with these players so let’s stop having a go and get behind them #PUSB
It's a challenge as it's easy to compare to last season which I personally believe we overachieved in. That being said, when Haji came on, I was excited, Leicester had a great squad today and we made then sweat at times. We will will kick into the groove, we ideally need a season for everyone to get going but it's an exciting prospect that's for sure.
