It's good that SD has a full week ( well, 6 days anyway) with all his available squad to get his ideas across. He, s been here for 6 days and had 2 tough matches which will be the pattern for much of the season. It's going to be hand to mouth.
Priority is survival especially this season where it's a much tougher task. We don't have the usual newly promoted teams as the safety net. No more under resourced Sheffield Utds, Luton's or Southamptons. Sunderland are flying after the Chelsea result and looked solid when they beat us. Burnley are just Burnley, organised and difficult to break down ( following the Dyche template) Bournemouth brilliant so far, Wolves look poor, Fulham will pick up eventually as will West Ham when Nunos tactical ideas kick in ( perhaps after a few defensive additions in the next transfer window).
I thought Brentford looked poor when we beat them and they lost their manager to Spurs but they totally outplayed Liverpool at the weekend
Plus we won't, I think, be banking 12 points against Spurs and Man Utd like last season.
Make no mistake, we are going to struggle but we have the specialist survival expert at the helm. I have every confidence in him. Let's not worry about how nice the deckchairs look when we are the football equivalent of the Titanic eh comrades. COYR.

Edu giveth and Edu taketh away! Blessed be the name of Edu……. or should that be the “blame” of Edu? ?.

Back in 2017 the American business man John Jay Moore's thought he had brought Nottingham Forest, only to be double crossed in the eleventh hour by Fawaz, who pinched all his ideas and plans for Forest and then passed them on to his mate Mr Marinakis, not saying we would have been successful under Moores ownership, but thanks to them two we will never will.
We could have been on the first wave of American money which is now prefilent in the Championship and Premier league teams. Sheffield Wednesday have just got rid of a terrible owner, but at the end of next month, the majority of investors in them will be American, and they will invest in them.
