We've added a versatile midfielder who looks like he has a good 8-10 goals in him a season, we've added actual wingers who actually look like they will chip in and actually create, we are no different uptop.. Chaplin wasn't starting towards the end, and wouldn't have started this year.. We have 8 days to get players in still before the season starts.
We finished 8th last season and were in playoff form pretty much the rest of the season after Christmas.. The squad looks physically bigger, the squad looks pacier especially out wide and allen is no slouch.
I don't get the reason to not be optimistic even with what we have, could we do with a striker... Yes, will it be the be all and end all... Not for me
