We have some good but not great players who are still knitting into a team and more additions seem to be in the offing given the good news that 3 of our 'unwanted' players are currently in negotiations abroad and at home to get a move out.
West Ham could be a good springboard to kick the season off and with the returning wounded and suspended after that plus 2 or 3 additions then September should be an altogether better month for the club.
Amongst our talent we have plenty of young players who can only get better including Atsu Mitrovic and Murphy. I was at the pre-season game and thought that LeJeune looked absolute quality both at defending and distribution and alongside Clark the centre of defence has improved vastly from the former days of Taylor and Collocini.
Like me on a Saturday night I think all that is lacking now is penetration and surely that will be solved within the next week or so.
Going to the next two games including tonight and so will continue to look for the positives until we turn this slow start around.

(ps will eventually find something positive to say about Ashley hopefully sooner rather than later as further new additions roll in)
