Supposedly signing Nikos Karelis on a free transfer, Greek international striker last at Genk.
I hope so as we’re in desperate need of a striker, but no idea if this guy is any good or not.
Poor performance from us tonight - we’re really missing having a striker. We’ll be better once the team settles, we’re definitely a lot better at the back, but not a great start so far.
Leeds away for us, Pontus’ return. Not feeling too confident at the moment for this one - defensively we’ve been much better than previous seasons, but in midfield in particular we look pretty disjointed - lots of new players coming in at once will do that, and Leeds will pick us apart a little...
1-1 v Hull, more points dropped at home, we probably deserved to win but had a bit of an off day, and as usual with us Hull took their chance well (didn’t create much else, lots of shots from distance, but did hit the post late on). Could easily be sitting on 9 points but 4 isn’t a terrible...
Entirely fair - if they had someone other than Parker I think I’d have them top of the pile probably, but having a rookie manager lowers their chances for me. They should still finish top 6 at least though.
West Brom picked up a lot of quality players late in the window, think they’re the favourites for me right now.
Leeds... not sure, probably play offs again. No other stand outs at the moment.
Hull at home, if we can keep Bowen quiet we should win, though it’s been a pretty poor start to the season so far.
The reserves were all pretty bad last night, so I imagine we’ll largely revert to our team for the first games - though with Pinnock injured we might change the formation to 4-3-3...
Eurgh, we keep going out of this competition in the early rounds, was hoping we’d get one final good cup run at GP - will have to rely on the FA cup for that one now.
We haven’t had POTD for home or away fans since we came up, just because the away section is quite small and there are some clubs with pretty large London fan bases.
Can’t remember if we change that for the early stages of the cups, but pretty sure they’re all all-ticket too.
Boro away is usually a tough fixture for us, would be pretty happy with a draw. Reckon Ollie will get the nod up front again, and we’ll bring Mbuemo into the side. Benrahma and Norgaard would come into the team but not quite fit enough yet.

Jeanvier Jansson Pinnock
Dalsgaard Jensen Dasilva...
Halil Dervisoglu confirmed, will join us in January, and Oli Watkins has extended his contract to 2023, we’re hoping to extend Rico Henry as well.
Much better.
I’ve been pretty damn accurate on our transfer business, even when I’ve disagreed with initial media reports or others on this forum - something you yourself pointed out when we initially disagreed on the fee for Bentley.
Don’t know why you think I talk shit, but you seem to go out of your way...
I genuinely don’t understand this profits stuff you / this forum keep throwing at me / Brentford. We may make a transfer profit, but we still lose money each year. Our bigger budgets are funded by selling players, what’s so hard to understand??
The reason we are weak up top is shitty agents...
