Again struggled on the right side of the pitch in today's game v Walsall .. Hutton and Bacuna just dont cut it as Premiership footballers. There is something in Bacuna i like but he is just way to inconsistent to be good enough in the prem. Richards again looked great today and should defo be given the Captains armband but i cant help think he would be way more effective than Hutton at right back. Time will tell but it really does look like Sherwood will start .. Hutton Richards Clark and Amavi as the starting back four this season .. On the positives Gueye looked decent, very keen to get forward and get shots away so thats promising. Robinson too looked good but again whether he will be able to step up a level i'm not sure. Seems the Ayew transfer could take a while with problems with his parent club but we are getting pretty desperate up top ...

Thought Hutton looked OK, and in the previous games I've been quite impressed the way Bacuna and Hutton linked up. Today thought Bacuna was a bit off; his crossing can be spot on but generally his touch wasn't that good. I think that back four will be OK. Amavi's made one or two mistakes but he recovers very quickly. Gueye has a very promising debut.
I think today we suffered from both Gil and Grealish being out, we need Gil's magic in the middle of midfield. With Gardner out as well think the creative stuff may have to come from Cole.
Kozak's doing his chances no harm at all. But we defo need a cutting edge up top.

Agree with that. A year in the Championship to hone his striking skills. then see what he looks like. Could go back to Preston.
Of course it's possible that if he then came back to us he could still be in the Championship. Hope not!

Reports that we have agreed a fee for Crespo from Cordoba. Can play either side of defence or in the middle.
Record not exactly outstanding. Maybe he's been bought as back up or to provide competition to Hutton/Bacuna.
