    We have signed a well respected coach who is doing the job he was brought to do. He has started the sensible way by assessing the squad.I have no doubt we will play to a plan and he will improve many of the players. Before telling him who would improve the team lets see what progress has been made in the pre season games.

    You’re right, but worryingly for me, he has decided that only 12 are good enough for his style of play and 3 seem to have been promoted from the U23s otherwise we wouldn’t have enough numbers for the first friendly. Need players in and soon, it is still the same players that finished so low last season.

    I'm assuming he will know better than we do what is needed and would trust him.

    If he thinks the current 15 are good enough then for once you are right.

    I'm sure he does, it depends if he gets the backing of Radz / Orta to get what he needs. IF rumours are to be believed the hold up on a forward has been partly that Orta wanted Hernandez and Bielsa Vydra (probably the truth is we don't want to fork out that much for either of them).

    Seems Florist got Grabban for c£6m <grr>, and have now spent c£24m in this window <grr>.

    They are also supposed to be rivalling Leeds for about 100 more players <grr>.

    Wtf is going on? Can't believe Radz has learned sweet FA. <doh>

    <grr><grr>
