This preseason. Anybody else?
There just doesn’t seem to be any buzz about it at all, even among the gompers (Chirper aside, obviously).
Have even the hardened optimists realised that we’ve not gone about building a promotion winning side at all it is it something else?
Either way it’s hard to remember giving less of a shit about an upcoming season

This preseason. Anybody else? There just doesn’t seem to be any buzz about it at all, even among the gompers (Chirper aside, obviously). Have even the hardened optimists realised that we’ve not gone about building a promotion winning side at all it is it something else? Either way it’s hard to remember giving less of a shit about an upcoming season The way we finished last season was so flat it seems tochave totally knocked out any enthusiasm. Even in 2017 I don't think it was as flat as this. It wasn't just losing to Carlisle, it was some of those games in the run-in, I recall Gillingham, Swindon, Crewe amongst others that were just gut-wrenching, amd we just never seemed to learn. There's been talk of MH trying new things, but when the season starts proper - in 12 days - are we actually going to see it through or revert to last season? In either case you wonder if MH has signed players with a particular approach in mind. Of he wants to carry on from last season but with players more suited to it, fine. If he wants to try something else with players more suited for that, also fine. If we've just signed a load of fluff and given the likes of Gilead another year becuase the well is totally dry then it's another year of regression. That aside I think a lot of us have football fatigue from the relentless news, coverage and online / social media bollocks. Does it really feel like nearly 3 months since the last competitive game? Also, Crawley are in a mess. Surely favourites for relegation as it stands - if we shit the bed against them it's going to say a lot about our preparation for the season.

Just couldn’t give a fuck anymore. Zero to be enthused about.

Keep saying it - if we go into the season with Oduor and Ridehalgh as our only LWB options, the current severe lack of pace at CB and no wingers then we’re fucked.
Why we’ve decided to fuck around with the defence that was the best part of our team last season I’ll never know. We should have stuck with a back four with Stubbs and Platt as our CBs because lack of pace doesn’t matter the same in a flat back four and they would arguably be one of the best pairings in the division.

We're going into yet another season with an uninspiring has been manager with a 3/10 recruitment so far. Our left hand side is going to be more fucked than Kerry Katonas flappy fanny and apart from central midfield we haven't improved any area. Cook won't have a season like last which means we're relying on Lewis to be as good as last season to keep us in the top half. We're still 4 players shy of looking like play off contenders.
That's why
