This is going to be one hell of a ride this season and, I can't wait.
People on this board just need to get their heads around that it was always going to be a transitional year. Having been an established team in the EPL, it's only natural that players like Tarky, Mee, Collins, McNeil (and likely) Cornet would be leaving, they were Jewels in a wooden crown.
What hasn't helped is the number of experienced players that have had their contracts run down, that was poor management from the club, both past and present ownerships (plenty has already been said about this) however, I will add that most of the players who's contracts were up, in my opinion are neither hear nor there, barring Mee.
We needed to keep a core of seasoned pro's at Championship level and barring the GK possition I think we have that in Robberts, Lowton, Taylor, Brownhill,Cork, JBG, Jay Rod & Barnes, all have a lot of experience at this level and will all play their part in bedding the new players in Not forgetting THB has as much experience at this level as Collins did when we signed him.
Do I think we will be challenging for the Automatic Promotion places, No, am i calm about it, Yes, its a trasitional year.
What will be will be but we all know that if you go on a good run in this league it can make you contenders and that is what we should be aiming for.
