This is my major concern. Delph, Bannan, Makoun are all potentially very good players but all realatively untested at this level. If they perform as we hope/expect that we've got some real talent in central midfield. Then we add in Ireland who has shown that he can do it but hasn't for around 2 years. If those 4 produce then we'll be fine but there are no guarantees.
The thing is if we get the likes of Delph having a break through year, Ireland getting his head right and rediscovering his form, Dunne in the form of his first season and Warnock playing like he was pre Carling cup final, together with the youngsters stepping up. Then all will be rosy in the garden next year.Sadly I can't see many of those thinsg happening
