Sounds like a fair assessment ...

... Huckerby and Ashton are going to get a *lot* of goals if they stay fit. The midfield will improve a lot if/when Youssef Safri is in it - he really looked a class act when he got a run in the Prem side (capable of tackling, passing and shooting) and the tanking at Fulham owed much to him being injured IMO.

I think height and aerial ability is more important than pace at this level, where more teams play direct. The other key point is that we have probably the best goalkeeper in the division. I'm hoping we'll add a creative midfielder or so and (if possible) a quick centre-back to partner Shacks.

See you in September ...
