Commercialism or Traditionalism

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Watching the various games on youtube this morning i have to say i shake my head in disbelief in some of the kits being banded about i mean i watched the Blunts v Canaries and on what planet is Yellow and Green a colour clash with Red and black? answer none so why were Norwich wearing a purply colour kit? in all my years i have never seen or heard of that colour being associated with the club but their you have it and it is just down to sheer greed and commercialism and it pisses me off...if the kits do not clash then you should play in the clubs traditional colours it is what the fans recognise and want not something that has not a link or any history with the club.

We play Bolton away on Tuesday i will be watching to see if we play in the C&B as it is not a colour clash in any way shape or form.....kit change when it is needed otherwise stop trying to squeeze extra out of fans young ones in the main with kits that have no part in what your club is.

Rant over.

Now the dust has settled......!?

Ok gang. The morning after the night before. Now the dust has settled. Lets take stock of the situation.

First off. Almost grabbing the defeat out of the jaws of victory, is inexcusable. We've seen this way too many times before. This cannot happen again and Nuno needs to sort his shit out. But for the woodwork and Scarles goal line clearance, we would be looking at 0 points this morning.

Burnley came down with us. They are in the same position, but without the favourites tag. Serial yo-yo act they maybe? But I expect them to finish top 6 at the end of the season. So looking at things objectively we got an away point. Not a loss and still somehow remain unbeaten so far in pre season to date.

We have a very talented squad, but when you look at the outgoings in waiting. The cracks appear and it starts to become thin to say the least. Wan Bissaka, Todibo, Alvarez, Fulkrug, Cornet, Magassa. Whatever your opinion on these guys. They are all good players. They maybe aren't the right fit for us anymore. Thats why they will be leaving before Sept 1st.

On that note. we must get proper Championship hungry replacements in. Proven players, who can scrap and produce quality. Nuno is on thin ice and borrowed time. He is far too cautious and because of our situation, it magnifies the scrutiny on him and his tactics.

As for yesterday. Better to get that performance out of the way, in the first game of the season. I sincerely doubt 2 points will make a difference at the end of 46 games. The board had better sort there shit out and back Nuno. Or Nuno will be history, although maybe that's not such a bad thing.

If Pablo got a knock yesterday, then I can see why JWP came on. Although wouldn't Earthy of been a better option. I'm guessing with Kante and Orford already playing. It was maybe a bridge too far. Having all the youngsters on, so caution was the winner.

Ultimately caution was our undoing. We got away with one. Engles will come in, Soucek will be available soon. Maybe Parrot will come. Or as someone mentioned why not Flemming? He's done it in the Premier League for Burnley. He did it yesterday and looks powerful.

All I know is. If we don't get a resounding victory at the BOM on Saturday. With 55,000 strong fans against Charlton. Things are going to get very ugly, very ugly indeed.

Nuno, the clock is ticking. You better be sorting this shit out!!!!

AWB to Villa

£25million reportedly which is bloody good business if you ask me...when we first got him he was good but for some reason or another and specially after the AFCON his attitude just stank and clearly he wanted to go...so with those wages off the bill and a very nice profit to boot and as long as Nuno does not try the Scarles can play as RB experiment again i think we have had another great deal of an outgoing transfer and money in that can help fund a decent player to challenge KWP for a starting berth.

A niggling but not new problem

The Gk....Yes he has been in this division before but i am unsure of Herman being able to deal with the physical side of the challenges that will come his way this season...not the biggest GK then again Shay Given showed that need not be a problem...but he just does not for me command the area and tendency to punch rather than catch is a worry...Areola whilst still here is ok but not really much better so do we have anyone scouting for a GK or do you think we are ok with what we have?
