one difference

permies not loanees

not necessarily a reason for optimisim on it's own, but it's something that's changed.

until i've seen any of the players we've signed actually playing i'm going to resist the temptation to judge them all as being s**t (and also as being fantastic)

same as it was argued that a new squad of players needed time to settle and gel before we got on their backs last season, we're in the position of the same needing to happen this season
