It's been a long time since we've sold this amount of tickets Brighton and Southampton look set to spice this division up from last season, let alone the Hammers, Brum & Blackpool. It's great that we've been positive in the transfer market but we're only getting back to the numbers we had last season! Is this just a tired old cliché that the division gets harder every year or do you think that this new season coming will be tougher?
What's different is the manager. I think if the season had run with a clean slate in January through to November then we probably would've made the play-offs. I'm worried by our goal keeper, our midfield options (I mean we need to be signing Bowyer AND a younger midfielder) and that right-back berth, as well as another top striker now that Connor's gone.
