I wasn't actually WUMing there, I actually do think you'll finish about ninth. That would be acceptable for a club like Hull wouldn't it?
Not really. We've taken last season's squad, not lost any major players barring Hobbs being injured, have appointed a manager who knows how to get promoted from this division, and have signed exactly the right type of players. They're not big name players, but we've signed the depth and variation that we lacked last season and paid the price for it, in Aluko we even have a player capable of being a straight replacement for Koren. Granted you can't guarantee that all the players will fit in when it comes to playing games, and we're still 1 or 2 players short of a squad I'd be properly happy with, but when we've got a manager who in a couple of weeks sees all the same problems I spent last season trying to convince people we had I've got to be confident in him, and if we don't make a significant improvement on last season then it'll have been a poor season.
I think you will have a good season and will be genuine play-off contenders - keeping Koren and signing Aluko are two huge positives for me. Good luck ... by the way I'm off on hols to Greece for of couple of weeks from tomorrow - so you'll all be pleased to have a break from my rapier wit for a while LOL
