this was the team that lost 6-1 to Pompey last year, look at the comparison of quality, and these are the differences,
SCHMEICHEL much better than Logan
KONCHESKEY younger and faster than Berner although Bruno is a solid defender
MILLS and Morrison, i was sad to see him leave but Mills is a leader and strong but Michael got alot of goals for us!
VITOR and BAMBA, both fantastic players, highly rate Vitor
Nielson and Peltier , speaks for itself
Oakley ahead of WELLENS?? hmm
king and dyer both played
Abe instead of Gally, different kind of players but right mid was never Abe's best position.
Howard shows a lot more effort than Beckford, but we know what Beckford can do
Waghorn and Nugent, i beleive Nugent was THE steal of the summer, especially on a free.
so just look at the strengths we have now, compared to those dismal day las year under Sousa...
please discuss!
TEAM FROM LAST YEAR

Sven made us stronger in all aspects apart from creativity in midfield.

Stourbridge - I think we do have creative midfielders in our squad. Gally certainly has the ability to create something from nothing and Danns, Wellens and definitely Johnson if we get him back to his best are all creative players.
Trouble is that not one has performed consistently well enough to merit a starting place or played to the best of their ability to play their naturally offensive, creative game. Hopefully Nigel can get the best from these players because creating chances was an issue on Saturday.

I was excited about Johnson when he joined but I've not seen anything of him so far to justify that.
I think Gally is fantastic actually but he is Pearson's player, not Sven's. And...he didn't show his best form or get picked much under Sven.
I also remember Danns looking great for Palace against us last season (unless it was the player that looks just like him) but so far, he hasn't done it for me.
Doesn't mean either of them won't though.
