Don’t disagree with that at all and provided JBA can get the players he wants with the budget available to him it could be great. Hopefully those ‘comfortable on the ball’ players with big engines and balls of steel fall in our range - but defo excited to see what he can do.

Agree 100%. As you say, I think Wimmer clocked really quickly what resources he had available and was savvy enough to adapt and find a way to get us over the line pretty comfortably. Concern would be that JBA isn’t prepared to shift (much or at all) on his principles (a bit like a certain Russell Martin at Southampton- yes, yes, different league etc. but similar issue) despite the personnel available - then it could be tough for everyone! But ………… gotta trust the guy, have faith, strap in for what could be a very interesting season ahead.

Won't happen. Calm doon!

That would be nearly, but not quite, as depressing as another season of your fun-filled posts of positivity.

Wind forward to 14 Sept 2019 @ 5.00pm and read the above. Lessons to be learned for some on here I think. Not saying there won't be more tough times ahead/blips on the road but Orinoco's got it spot on. Back our players, give them confidence and I'm sure this current group will deliver more good times than bad, with some pretty attractive football thrown in too. Biggest issue this year will be holding on to Robbo.

Excellent, objective factual summary. Yes, we could throw up issues like quality of ‘football’ during large parts of the campaigns... but.... overall, I wonder how many of us on here would (honestly) have turned down what you’ve summarised if it was offered up at the start of season ‘17 - 18’.

‘too’ long - as have you it seems! Stay out a bit longer and you might even manage a positive post.
