Hell of a promotion squad, no excuses, strong enough in all departments, I shouldn't be worried with a squad like that, but I have nagging doubts .........

Best CCFC squad I've ever seen. A testament to Ole. He seems to have a great eye for a player - he comes across as a football nerd!! :ole:

It will be very tough to take a top two place for any teams chasing promotion. At the moment the key players we need to galvanise fast are Adeyemi and Dikgacoi. As a team we need to learn to get the ball from back to front in a more effecient manner. By efficient I mean - not wasteful and at pace.

Two teams? the one on show last night was abysmal

Bloody hell. That is a very strong squad.

Only worry is that there are very few nailed on to their positions. A settled side would be nice and I think that is what we need. All decent individually, but its a massive task to mould them into a team and although we saw flashes in pre-season/Blackburn, for most of the time we've looked disjointed. Hopefully we'll settle soon with a run of lots of games coming up.

The other worry is a mammouth wage bill !

For sure a really strong squad. Many new faces, I dont expect great football until late september though :bluescarf:

A few people in here would take Crystal Palace´s (ex.) manager for our own. But would you also have liked to swap squad with them? Not sure I would, although they are in the PL..

Mats Møller Dæhli in the second team? I very much doubt that. He will be player of the year.

We must have the best Squad in the Championship.
