Still doesn’t feel like the first game of the season. It’s mental that we have a £28k a week winger in Matondo who is fit that probably won’t even start today. He’s another one we really need to shift even if it’s just a loan.

And so it begins.....😁🇬🇧🇬🇧 at a wedding today, watching game on phone while bussing it to venue, most important thing today though, however we do it, we just need the win🍻🇬🇧

[AustinGio 97]

I think we will take care of Hearts today. Won't be pretty, but will be an important job done, 3 points and back up the road.

Have we had an update on Sterling’s injury?

Guessing his wages isn’t cool.

The starting line up today us going to be a fucking disgrace. 

Tav, Wright, Lawrence, Matondo and Dessers all potentially starting or at the very least being involved at some point, when none of them should be playing for us ever again is some rebuild 😂

It took Arteta  3 years to rebuild Arsenal with a cheque book much larger than ours yet our fan base think we can do it in one window 😣😣😣😣😣😣😣

You can’t shift virtually a whole squad in one widow that would be crazy. We’ve done well getting shot of who we have and that will continue over time. 
A bit of patience is required

Scary thing is you're looking at...

Sima vs Cortes - Much rather Sima

Dowell/Raskin/Lundstram vs Diomande/Barron/Lawrence - Anything other than Lawrence would do me

Lammers vs Wright - Fuck it who knows

And i'd rather Goldson/Souttar at the back than the likely Souttar/Davies 

I think Cortes looked a better overall player than Sima before his injury last season. Sima had the numbers but I think his general play was quite poor a lot of the time

Id rather Diomande and Barron than Dowell and Lundstram. Lawrence is shite but aye

Wright I’d choose over Lammers 

Defence is shite but im glad Goldson is gone.

We are probably weaker than we finished the season. Really depends what Cerny and Propper look like. In hindsight that starting 11 from last seasons opener was horrible though and we thought it looked good

We’ve gotten rid of loads of the shite already. Thinking a rebuild this size happens in one window, catch yourself on

scott wright is going to be a major player for us this season...............

As shite as he is he’s a better option than McCausland or Matondo. 
 

That’s how bad things are

There's probably not a single poster on here that expected a complete rebuild this summer. 

But we're going to be starting the season with either 0, 1, or maybe 2 new players in the starting 11 and we're arguably worse off than the disastrous season opener last year.

Was wondering what you were on about here but it appears you’re that annoyed you’ve taken a tongue in cheek comment from another thread

Heres my genuine expectations for this season

Continue the rebuild in January, second place within 10 points of first and a cup. That’s probably as good as I hope for right now 

 

[saintbob1969 1,557]

I can see us struggling away for half the game and then Tav steps up with a wonder goal... then Scott Wright bangs in another. 

[El-Hadji Spit RFC 756]

Never felt so low in confidence heading into a new season!!! 

[DavieCooper74 1,427]

Stuck in work today but I'll have the game on. Really don't know what to expect but I am weirdly confident of a win today. I also fully expect a far better squad come September than what we have now so yeah, 2 nil Hearts and the reason why I can't and don't bet 😜

[esquire8 44,995]

Butland

Tav Souttar Davies Ridvan

Barron Diomande

Wright Lawrence Cortes

Dessers
