Our transfer windows are more entertaining than the football.

Oh for those halcyon days of Lambert and Lerner.

Whoever we sign and whenever we sign them must go straight into the team instead of the usual suspects. Then we will know if master Bruce has the right idea. Every manager, including MON towards the end, has made a major bollocks in this area; except Garde, did he get to buy anybody?

This kind of courage last January and we might still be in the Premiership.

With Eric Black in charge.

I'll say this, it's a long shot still but we're giving ourselves every chance of having a crack at it this season.

Given the years of endless disappointment and total lack of ambition it's at least refreshing to be trying.

I've not seen our three new signings play, but just on reputation I reckon four best xi is probably now:

Johnstone

Bree Chester baker amavi

Jedinak

Adomah Lansbury hourihane green / Thor

Kodjia

Subs: bunn elphick Bacuna Westwood grealish ayew RHM

That does look like it has the bones of being a team that could challenge for promotion, maybe with 2-3 sound additions in the summer - centre back, defensive midfielder, striker

It's weak up-top. Kodjia isn't a number 9, needs someone to play-off.
