Our midfield looks a lot stronger now - don't forget Lawrence also plays an attacking midfielder.

Immers, Lawrence, Whittingham, Ralls, Noone, Pilkington, Ameobi, O'Keefe, Dikgacoi, Gunnarsson - that's good numbers to have.

There hasn't really been a problem with numbers in defence, but we've also got more options who can play as strikers now:

Zohore, Pilkington, Lawrence, Ameobi, Saadi, Macheda.

So naturally, when at full-strength, our bench should be strong now. We'll have players who can come on and make a difference, which I think we've been lacking for a while now.

Plenty of numbers, not sure on the quality mind. Time will tell on the new signings, hopefully just what we need.

Im sure Russ will find a way of getting more defenisve minded players on the bench than attackers

Slade does have more options on the bench, but in my view, Slade does have difficulties in what substitutes he brings on and when he brings them on

I really wish I could disagree with you on that.

If Slade play's Whittingham in a more affective position which in my view is more forward upfield, I have no problems with Whittingham starting
