Out go key players Campbell , Mutch, Caulker, Medel .
In come Le Fondre, Guerra, Macheda, Dikichoi, Burgstaller and our latest Brum recruit.
Million dollar question... Are we good enough to get promoted?

We're stronger than last season, easy. Campbell really wasn't a key player in my eyes, he was just the best we had in a weak area of the team. Even Mutch didn't contribute anything special on a regular basis. Heck, at this time last year, very few would have said we'd be a weaker team with Mutch gone. No, on paper we are a stronger team than what started our premiership season.
Downside is, the Championship looks to be tougher than it was the year we went up. Having a strong squad might not be enough, so it's going to be a real test of Ole's tactical abilities too. We've got real attacking class though, and I think we will score a heck of a lot of goals.
And whilst our back four is a concern, I think people need to remember that we are coming up against different opposition to last year and won't get sliced open so easily. I'd say most teams will come up against us more afraid of what we can do to them, than what they could do to us.

Character-wise and depth-wise I think we perhaps are a bit stronger. I still think we remain lacking in defence and the strike force is only as strong as the goals it produces so I will judge that after 10-15 games. We still have Marshall though and we still have strong Championship players like Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Fabio etc. We also have the likes of Brayford and Eikrem who were on our books and could well come more to the fore this season.

Some fair points but I believe Campbell would of filled his boots in the Championship. I forgot to mention the loss of Bellers.

The only one we have not replaced there is Caulker tbh.
