    This is possibly the strongest squad I have seen in my lifetime. I've supported the lads since the mid 70's and I reckon the only squad that is comparable is the Peter Reid team.
    We have 2 good keepers.(Shame we have lost the Mig).
    Have we ever had a better central defence partnership than JOS and Brown?
    Colback and Gardner are admirable full backs and we may yet buy a proper lb and rb ?
    Giaccherini, AJ and Sess are fabulous talents and we have the new boys including Cabral who looked very decent yesterday.
    We have an unknown quantity in Altidore but I have high hopes for him and we all know about Fletcher and I still think Connor will realise his potential with us. (If only Super Kev was still with us in his prime)
    We are building a very strong squad and I for one cannot bloody wait until Fulham come to town.
    HAWAY THE LADS !

    Im not sure its the strongest squad yet as I still think we are lightweight in a few areas but its deffo a very strong looking starting 11.. I'm really impressed with moberg the way he took his goal yesterday shows composure beyond that of somebody that was brought in for the development squad his all round play from the minute he came on pitch was brilliant in difficult conditions.

    Getting towards strongest team but the squad is thin imo. I think next summer will be the "Strongest Squad" scenario then hopefully from strength to strength as a result.

    Not yet. No recognised fullbacks. I would hope Larrson is not starting in CM. would like to see Alfie or a new signing there in his place. Larrson was canny yesterday though.
