Quality of the squad

Is the big imponderable for me (both of our squad and the rest of the division).

Always hard to tell how quickly big name signings will slot in in real games.

We still look light on centre backs and defensive midfielders/water carriers

But on the face of it it looks like we've got some good creative options (albeit needing time to bed in and work up understandings) and the side is being coached to be mean in defence.

Kind of the joy of the champs. Get a good run going and it's possible to do well (Luton).

Thought last year would be a transitional one, this year feels like that (part 2). But having Sara and Nunez more settled, having experienced players who can play towards the system we're adopting, and hopefully providing Sargent and the new wingers with support that's more tailored to their games in a more cogent formation will help.

Still think the boys need a hand, and still think that'll be dependent on those few sales. Hoping they go through quickly.
