I don't often post, because I get so angry with some of the kneejerk reactions or those who have an agenda and will carry on until whatever they want is achieved and then say I told you so.
I posted in the predictions that 5th to 8th will be our position and still maintain that will happen.
I just looked at the update of the under 23 game and read the report and ratings of the players and came on here looking for a thread re that and then saw the Deano thread.
I think this is probably the most optimistic that I have been since 2006 when O'Neill was appointed, because the stream of youngsters coming through is the best for a very long time. I think that at least 4 of those players will be regular starters or subs coming on by the end of the season.
We will never be able to sign established stars, that some want, until we are in the Champions League.
The owners are creating a sustainable club based around young talent, although they have bought in Young and Ings who are above the ideal age. However, that makes me believe the plan is to really blood the youngsters this year, as some are really pushing at the door.
We are only 4 games in and the international break disjoints things in more ways than one.
Watkins, Bailey, Buendia have all missed games and are now back, so the team is stronger. So let us get behind this young team and achieve that 5th to 8th place.
