Our Squad now versus this time last year....

[FoxinNotts]

Our team B would do ok in the prem, I'd hope!

Wouldn't swap too many of them for Sunderland, Norwich, Watford, Bournmouth, Villa etc second string players, for instance.

Our squad vis a vis the squad this time last season is vastly superior IMO.

However, it ain't all about that. Now it's time to make them all gel, get the strongest team and see what we can really do.

And many other squads have strengthened too.

Overall, I'm much more optimistic this time round than I was last season.

 

As it should be. We've had a year in the Premier League, our survival was well documented, we have a higher profile manager- it's all far more attractive than an unknown, newly promoted side.

Very happy at the way we have recruited, and getting in Dyer, at a late stage was a very shrewd move, as well as surprising.

Now it's all about finding the right team and the right formation and how they gel together .... But we have options aplenty and some real quality .... Exciting stuff !

Ranieri 's substitutions are turning matches, in complete contrast to Pearson's baffling changes during games last season (apart from the last 9 of course).....

Ranieri however has quite a different bench to choose from Compared with this time last year, so is it because he is more tactically astute or just he has the luxury of a much more talented bench?

Indeed... Pearson looked at the bench and saw Hammond, GTF and Chris Wood. Ranieri seems Kante, Dyer, Ulloa.
