Looking Ahead To The 2026/27 Season - Sniffer Dog (Admin) - 14-05-2026

One thing that needs to drastically improve is our home form.

Just four wins at home in the PL so far this season.

We need to change that next season.

The complete opposite to life under Nuno. We’ve put in some cracking away performances under VP, but have struggled with defending at the WFCG. Starting again next season with fit strikers/more options will help us to win more games at home. I don’t think too many conclusions can be drawn from the rollercoaster of this season but a positive summer and some stability will get us back on track

Stability. Strategy. Aligned thinking.

What do we want to achieve and how do we get there?
If that means a new head coach to take us in that direction so be it, but decide NOW not in October. Keep them for the season.

Incoming players that fit our desired play, that have the right attitude to be here and that we have properly scouted. Not convenient deals with favoured agents.

Some progress on the CG redevelopment would be nice too.

We need a solid pre season that’s for sure. This pre season was abysmal. Absolute mess from start to finish.

That’s a good point. We kept going with Nuno even though the writing was on the wall. If we stick with VP then let’s back him, if we don’t then let’s get the replacement in early

Stability thoughout the club, top to bottom please!

Yes last pre-season was a shambles compared to previous year (where we looked good). I watched pretty much all games, and looked like a kick-around in the park, no intensity plus bang average opposition. After seeing teams like Man U having full-on PL pace friendlies in USA, it was obvious we were well 'under-cooked' and in trouble.

UEFA court case obviously did not help (no idea what competition preparing/recruiting for), but Nuno's body language/attitude due to internal squabbles further compounded the lacklustre approach. Pretty much gave teams a 6 game head start, which nearly got us relegated.
