We had 13 different scorers last season
One of encouraging things is seeing the improvement, so far, in players like Harrison ,Forshaw and Bamford. That extra bit of experience and understanding Bielsa's requirements a bit more and knowing what works and what doesn't will serve these and other players well.
Kamara, just maybe I can see what is going to happen like last season for example. This starting 11 won’t score enough goals, fortunately it will be changed.
As far as I'm concerned the stick this team got the season before Bielsa they did brilliant to finish last season where they did!..
Well done that team and those players!..
Here's hoping that more or less the same team can do that bit better this time around, and anyone can say whatever they like against that!..
This team along with this club have come a long way since Bates, Cellino and the clueless Bankers lost out on what could have been!..
I love the way the midfield and front line are shaping up. We are taking pressure off Pablo and we have more of an attacking threat with Harrison, Costa and Nketiah in the ranks. Forshaw and Dallas are scarily better than last year, and we can only imagine how much Shacks will add to this team. I see more goals and, just as importantly, more control in the opposition's half this season. I don't know if the stats back me up, but in the games so far, we have spent more time in the opposition penalty area, with more players posing a threat, than last season. It's interesting how we scapegoat players. For me, it's Bamford, for Pro, it's Forshaw. We are fans and we have our blindspots. It's also interesting how little criticism Pablo got for missing three great opportunities to score. He can do no wrong in our eyes.
The concern is our defence and set pieces. Even with Pontus in the team, it was our Achilles heel, and it looks like being no different this season. And is Mister Flappy inspiring a tiny bit more confidence among the defence? Orta should be scouring the planet for a decent centre back with a bit of height. If we get that right, that could be the missing piece in the jigsaw.
Up to this point, has anyone seen a better team in this division this season?

........top of the league, unbeaten, best goal difference in the league & 2nd highest goals scored.
All, weve all got favourites we’ve all hit pkayers we dont rate so much.
I dint think forshaw that different to last season just seems to not hold up the attacks so much and getting into more advanced positions.
I think that we’re 2 concerns last season. Firstly the one everyone including Bielsa acknowledged, not converting enough chances.
I’m not sure there is much different to last season again but I think a lot is down to the calibre if chances, they’re more like half chances most of the time.
The other concern was giving away early goals normally from conceding a silly free kick around edge if box, haven’t fallen foul of that yet but we are still conceding around the box and I always seem to feel that Douglas is often out of position and a lot results from that.
Germany, you are easily pleased.
3rd wasn’t good enough, you have to take your chances in life.
16 years out of the PL surely proves that
Bielsa ringing, Pablo went missing at the end of last season, I blame Bielsa for that, however about his missed chances, everyone misses, those that do the business usually get away with it.
I also blame Bielsa for Forshaws misses, he’s not a finisher.
Promotion, waste off time saying anything to you because of your dimwit way of thinking!..
3rd isn't good enough, no, maybe not but it is more than what we were supposed to get!..
Blame Bielsa, for what?....because he's brought a team back up to the standards this club hasn't seen for years playing football nobody thought it could play and in doing so brought a whole fan base back to life!..
You are stupid if you think its his fault for failing last year, he got us to the brink off promotion and to get over the line is a team effort, not his!..
He cant do everything!..
I'm so so happy that Bielsa is in charge off this team, because I'd hate to think what would be if anyone like you was there!..
Mind, I'd hate to think what it'd be like if anyone like you was at any club!..
You've made up my mind that you are a waste off space, but keep it up, others see it as well!.
Mr Feckin perfect my ass!..
I actually said that I blamed Bielsa for burning out Pablo
I actually said that I blamed Bielsa that for Forshaw missing chances.
However Bielsa is ultimately to blame for failure last season or the club for not backing him in January.
I don’t know the answer to that one.
Up until the end of December Bielsa worked miracles after that it was a shambles.
Take the praise, accept the criticism.
It’s a tough world.

"Take the praise, accept the criticism.

I can guarantee you what has gone on in my life the last few years is a hell off a sight tougher than some off the crap I see on these boards!..
Praise and criticism, you seek one and give the other!..
As for a tough world, for some it might be, for others they take it as it comes, but, whichever, I get up in the morning and I'm at that stage where I don't give a crap what comes, life goes on!..
