[Albion] How confident are you

B-right-on · Jul 6, 2019

New season around the corner. New manager, a few new faces, new system.

How confident are you we'll stay up and do better than last season?

Me. I think we'll survive and end up around 15th.

I think ( or hope ) we have pulled out of our relegation death spiral of 2019.

If we have indeed stopped the sequence of dismal home defeats to relegation rivals, then we should have a more positive season.

In reality I am in No man’s land but I am looking forward to a more varied approach to games. My Albion mojo dropped to lower than it has been since Hyppia over the last few months of the season just gone. I desperately want to see an Albion side that plays with a desire to win a game rather than not lose it. I do accept it could go completely pear shaped and we could be whipping boys if GP and the players are not up to it.

Currently I feel confident and excited about the upcoming season though. Desperately hoping for a marquee striker signing as well, but not actually expecting it.

From a personal standpoint I can accept Championship football the season after next if we prove not good enough. I do not want to watch what we saw in the last three months of last season again though.

An away win against at least one of the top six is on my wish list :smile:

I think last season will have taught us a lot of lessons. Defending your way to survival with little attacking impetus is highly risky and we got away with it by the skin of our teeth.

The risk we face this season is over compensating and go for all out attack.

Ideally we balance the two to find the sweet spot.

GP comes across as calm and collected with a good footballing philosophy. We have a strong backbone and there is obvious promise in the players we bought last year who really did not deliver. The last element is the signings needed before season start as documented RB AM and striker.

I am feeling guarded optimistic and hope the brave decisions made pay dividends.

Regrettably I have little faith in our forwards. Just one new recognised forward with a decent goal scoring record would give my confidence in the new season a tremendous boost. I think the manager will be a revelation but generally you’re only as good as the players you have. I think we have just about enough in most other positions, although if Bissouma doesn’t cut the mustard this season, we could be short of a decent box to box midfielder with a bit of class.

Coldeanseagull · Jul 6, 2019

I hope his style keeps us up this coming season, as I feel his second one could be something special

Chicken Run · Jul 6, 2019

Quietly confident we will improve on last season.

Thunder Bolt · Jul 6, 2019

I genuinely don't have a clue. I haven't seen anything from the team yet, not do the brief interviews with Potter give me a clue.

Is it PotG? · Jul 6, 2019

This confident.

Mackenzie · Jul 6, 2019

I’m not overly confident nor am I worried, I simply don’t know. I am looking forward to next season though and think that our new manager could be an astute bit of recruitment.

LamieRobertson · Jul 6, 2019

Tbh....i’m not that bothered at the mo...nothing to get my appetite going yet...no doubt it’ll change in time

In it to win it.

BRIGHT ON Q · Jul 6, 2019

Really buzzing now Schelotto and Hemed are back.

Ernest · Jul 6, 2019

More confident than if we had kept Hughton, at least we may even score away from home this season

Careful the 'Chrissy Walks On Water' brigade will be after you.

Put that vibrator away, you dirty b'stard :lolol:

Brian Parsons · Jul 6, 2019

Every so often one gets a gut feeling about new manager as yet unproven on the Prem. I honestly feel we could well be dark horses, top 10. So yes I'm confident that this season will be better than the last, let's be honest it couldn't be much worse.

I’m feeling pretty good so far
The fact that he’s had them working with the ball from the get go says a lot and I’m expecting us to be moving up the pitch with much more intent. I also think that he’ll be able to coax some improvements out of the strikers and give them some confidence. I think we’ve got in on the ground floor with mr potter and he’ll get us up the table relatively comfortably and we’ll be sitting pretty in 10-15th and never any danger of relegation

Not confident one bit unless a quality striker is brought in. We only stayed up by the skin of our teeth. We have hardly strengthened.
A couple of big signings is needed.
