Is the current squad good enough to improve on last season?

    The squad as a whole is stronger without question.

    Whoever said Jordan was better than Larsson is a fantasist, for his delivery alone, Seb is a far greater asset to the side.

    I liked Bolo, but Gardner offers a wee bit more.

    Brown & O'Shea are better than the Mensah we had last season, if not the season before.

    And if we are comparing to the START of last season, as the article reads, then we have Sessegnon, our best player by an absolutely ridiculous distance.

    Vaughan gives great strength in depth across the middle, a very solid player indeed.

    Positive as this sounds, without goals the jibs ****ed, and with no replacement for Darren Bent, all fit and on form, last st=easons team would finish above this, despite being weaker, by virtue of having a goal machine.

    No getting away from it.

    So we are lead to believe, but we havn't found out yet.....so until they play "for us" its speculation.

    Not speculation Comm my good man.

    We all know the qualities these players have, we've seen enough of them to form our opinions.

    Bafflingly, so surely has Bruce.

    This, especially the Mensah bit, he really did go off the ball last season.

    All depends if we can get the strikers firing becasue there is no double teh supply line is far superior. Watched the Liverpool game last night and it was typical Henderson, a couple of good touches and an assist but when the game finished you really thought he had not done enough. Delivery from the set piece still needs work.

    All academic really if the manager does not use the players at his disposal in the correct way.
