    I hope Derwent, Canadian and the other doubters on this site are impressed by the players we have attracted to the club during the pre-season. If we DO land Sawyers, and manage to get Holgate for another season then the picture will be complete. Together with our youngsters, one or two of the old heads and retaining Hegazi. Gibbs and Phillips, the squad begins to have a promotion feel about it. I don’t think Slav has come here to achieve failure.

    It is looking better but I think we really need someone to replace Dwight Gayle as I feel that we are a bit lacking up front with only HRK and Zohore. We’ve got Sawyers subject to a medical and it’s looking better with respect to Holgate who Bilic wants as CB rather than RB. Might see a couple of departures between now and 8/8 (old farts hopefully).

    I agree we’re lacking a bit up front. Edwards seems to playing well but neither Burke nor Leko is achieving his potential and HRK is not the answSlav pulling another striker out of his transfer hat would certainly add to the feelgood factor I’m beginning to get.

    Agree entirely with the sentiment (must be the BoJo effect!) but fear that the currently missing piece of the jigsaw – a minimum of two effective goalscorers – is the most vital one. Whatever the reasons I believe they should have pushed the boat out to keep Gayle on board and his goals scored, goals created and penalties earned are not going to be replaced by anyone we now have or can afford. Bilic however appears to have bought well thus far so perhaps he has a surprise in the wings? Really looking forward to this season.

    You mean in spite of the Bojo effect. For me the Baggies are offering one of the bright spots on a pretty gloomy horizon.

    Despite the apparent optimism on this page, I remain unconvinced.

    Bilic is an emotional guy who will light a fire under our players and ask them to play exciting and attacking footie. I’m just not sure that he has the weapons in his arsenal to do what is necessary for us to be competitive.

    One good sign is that he quickly spotted that Bambi (Nyom) was useless. So let’s hope he does have a joker or two up his sleeve.
