Improvement in fitness

I thought there was an improvement yesterday in the player fitness compared to last season's opener but the one vital ingredient we are missing more then anything is PACE in key positions in the side ( Striker and centre midfield) , I cant see us finishing above were we finished last season without it

Joey Barton and Dwight Gayle would be the missing ingredients IMO. I expect both are out of our budget though

Barton has been training with Watford and Gayle is linked with Fulham
