Will teams want to face us this season?

Our first choice back four I think is really strong imo. We need a bit more depth there though.

Will our team this season strike fear into a lot of teams? I think it will!
We have the base of a very strong team. The likes of Bellamy, Bo Kyung, Mason, Helguson leading our charge and the very impressive midfield containing the likes of Whitts, Gunnar and Mutch which on paper I think is the best midfield in the championship. Looks like they have gelled quickly too.

When we played Newcastle you could see it. Although Newcastle didn't have Cabaye, Cisse, Ba and Ben Arfa they had their first choice back five out and a midfield that wasn't exactly weak by Championship standards and we blew them away! Our attack was all over their defence, time and time again. They may have been without Cabaye, Cisse, Ba and Ben Arfa but we were without Bellamy, Bo Kyung and Mason. These three will all be key players in the oppositions half imo. Defenders in this divsion are going to be shitting their pants with the thought of Bellamy blistering past them!

If we can beat a team 4-1 that finished 5th in the Prem last season I think some teams will be booking their pre season tours and holidays early this season! Exciting times! :ayatollah:

Teams will raise there game against us imo! Which isn't such a bad thing cos it will keep us honest, and hopefully make us fight fire with fire in every game :ayatollah:

No team has a better Midfield.

Helgusson, Velikonja, Mason, Bellamy? and one other to come in by all accounts... we
also have a strike force to fear, big time.

I hate to put a dampener on anything at the moment but I'm not convinced about
our defence. I will concede, Hudson is a far better player than I gave him credit for
but do not think he and Turner really compliment each other. SuperKev had a pretty
uninspired season, but can come back. Taylor I think will be fine. But we definitely
need more players in there.
