I'd agree that if we play the season out with anything like this squad we really are in a lot of trouble. But we presumably won't. So it all depends on making a minimum of three really good signings in the next few weeks

I could well see a pretty ropey start though. We've not given much time for players to integrate. Guzan, Sanchez and grealish haven't played yet and the latter two are presumably almost out of contention now for the start. Gil and Gardner may be injured.

It's not looking very reassuring you'd have to say.

watched the highlights of the Forest Green game. The third goal, and second for Sellars is really superb skill. He looks a very decent prospect indeed. And who's the short shorts wearing number 40?

Sellars apparently got four goals in 21 games for the under 21s last season

I wouldn't get overly excited just yet

4 in 21 is almost Messi like when compared with the stats of our midfielders .

No worries. It would be useful, in future, if any further issues concerning the AVTV service supplied by Ripple Effect could go on that thread and this one kept for matters on the pitch.

It would be good to see Gil, grealish and gueye today. It would also be good not to be out passed by a lower league team again. I'm not convinced this 4411 we've been playing suits us.

I would think it is 4 across the Middle, Bacuna and Sinclair wide with Westwood and Gueye central.

I guess if you add Guzan Sanchez Gill Grealish Gabby and hopefully Ayew to the above starters it's the basis of a reasonable squad
