Just being factual - if you look at previous posts of mine at the start of the season in this thread, they have been optimistic at the start of each year
But this squad is completely and utterly dire (Moses Dyer) may have been an improvement
I don't necessarily disagree - I think this is the worst squad, on paper, that we've had going into a season for many a year - but if you can't hope at the start of the season, when can you?
Rudan has been genuinely inspirational in the media, how he has navigated everything so far has been very impressive - I hope that translates to the football. I look at Newcastle's squad last year, and Ernie got guys like Hoffman to look like footballers - why can't Rudan get Williams, Burns etc. to that level?
