Manning needs to figure out his best 11 quickly
Of the summer signings. Darling, Topic, Diallo and Kvistgarden look like starters
The keeper worries me, think we should've stumped up the cash to keep Gunn for another season. It's unsettled an already weak defence.
Medic looks slow and not up to speed but Cordoba I think has a mistake in him too so a bit of puzzle to solve there. Schlupp I wouldn't write off yet. I think as a left back he could be ok. But wing back at his age is too much.
Squad is crying out for a creative number 10. We haven't had a decent one since Emi.
Overall recruitment has to be questioned. Crnac, Schwartau and Slimane are duds and I don't see any improvements since they joined.
