Wholesale changes won't help again.
The bigger questions how many of the long term injured and loanees will be able to replace 1 of the 20, how many will leave.

I don't have a problem with any of them starting..... far too early to start running down a bunch of lads that haven't been beaten since November.

If you're good enough to take a team up, you're good enough to be given a shot at it.

Signings did **** all for us last time. Stick with what's been working so far.

I'd say this is not far off the mark, and likely about right imo, imperative we have some continuity and togetherness from this season, it's the biggest mistake kompany made last time imo. Some of the present squad will know their only good enough for the bench, but still put their bodies on the line when asked, that's the big difference between SP and VK, that's what SP has instilled in the ranks, but will also understand we need bits of real quality in there, finger's crossed he can find such bargains.

This is the million dollar question. I'm sure we will need to fend off interest in a number of players, plus there will clearly be incomings.

It still amazes me what happened last August. It's incredible to think the squad versus Luton was the one below...
Trafford, Roberts, Pires, O'Shea, Esteve, Cullen, Brownhill, Vitinho, Odobert, Koleosho, Foster. Subs, Hladky, McNally, Massengo, Benson, Zaroury, Twine, Jay Rod, Weghorst, Hountondji
... and you can add CJ, Amdouni and JBG in place of Twine, Odobert, and Zaroury by the time we played Cardiff.

If you'd told me we'd sell or loan 11 of the 23 players in our first two match-day squads I'd think you were crazy. What a mad few weeks that was!!

Hopefully we'll see a bit more stability this summer!

Hard one to answer. Going off what we've seen of Parker you'd think he would be loyal to the players who got him there. But his Bournemouth sacking tells us he can be ruthless and will want big money spent to allow us to compete. I will go with 13
