I’m encouraged by our new approach in terms of recruitment and more purposeful tactical system.

The backline made some really silly mistakes in that last game against Reading and we were so lucky not to pay the price for them. Premier League teams wouldn't be so forgiving.

Ward is not good enough, or is Tomkins in my opinion, only for cover, Clyne/Ferguson/New - Guehi - Anderson - Mitchell

The difference between us and Fulham is that we should have a good number of our experienced players to incorporate the new players. Fulham made what was it ?14 signings or something. Despite the long-overdue spending in this window, we will not reach that number but most importantly, our attacking players are better.

To be honest, however it turns out, I don’t care. Simply because I’m so glad we’re at least trying to move away from that turgid approach of the last few years. New manager, a major freshening up of the squad and at least it sounds like we’re going to attack and give teams problems.

We still have a good core of players to call upon that make up the spine of the team, which Fulham didn’t have. I think there was one Fulham game where the entire team was made up of loanees and new signings which was incredible. Which most probably nailed on their relegation.

I’m encouraged by our new approach in terms of recruitment and more purposeful tactical system. Certainly exciting times. I think we have too many experienced players to do a Fulham - the likes of Zaha, Benteke, McArthur, Schlupp, Luka, Kouyate, Ward, Guaita, Tompkins give us a solid core. The younger players like Mitchell, Gallagher, Riedewald & Andersen have all had a full season now so should be improving. My only concern is Vieira as he's an unknown Premier League manager, but I like what he's doing so far. My thoughts are that we have a fantastic blend of youth and experience and this season needs to be treated as a transition year. I expect us to finish around 14th/15th, which in my opinion will be success, and hopefully the following season we can push for top 9. There's no reason why we shouldn't be on par with the likes of West Ham and Everton. The squad looks as healthy as it's ever been.
