....or a goalie on the bench at the management's discretion!

 

Think that's approaching a first-choice squad that should be capable of securing mid-table this season.

Still wafer thin??

 

 

I'm not saying there's no experience, but scratch below the surface and the squad is still pretty thin. Quality wise too I think most recognise we are lacking, though not for a want of trying by PD. It has the backbone of a team that should be able to hold its own (though not compete at the top end), it's still worrying what could happen if/when injuries hit.

 

PD has done a good job though this window, given the budget restraints. Not sure anybody could have expected any more of him.

I disagree. I think the experienced/quality players playing as well as they can and the kids stepping up can see us pushing for promotion.

 

Reid will get 20+ provided we don't sell him in January

Barring a massive injury crisis that squad should comfortably keep us up. Credit to Dickov for the signings which I believe to be solid if unspectacular. While I don't think we have a "guarenteed" 20 goal striker in the squad I reckon two of Smith, Reid and Kuqi will make it into double-figures.

 

I doubt we'll be close to the playoffs but with a bit of luck you never know...

Bembo Lita looked a real gem at the start of last season. When he is back to fitness and if he can recapture that form he will be a great asset, and the impact he could have is overlooked at present.

I don't think Lita is the player many think he is... I'd not expect him to be anything more than a bit-part player.
