2013 versus Bournemouth
B. Hamer
D. Dervite
M. Morrison
R. Wiggins
C. Solly
M. Gower
C. Harriott
A. Hughes
B. Pritchard
Y. Kermorgant
M. Sordell
Possible this season if we started tomorrow so not including our two mystery players (hopefully a striker and midfielder)
Henderson
Solly/Haim/Morrison/Wiggins
Gudmundsson/Buyens/Jackson/Harriott
Vetokele/Moussa
Subs: Pope/Wilson/Bikey/Gomez/Cousins/Tucudean/Church
At least the midfield looks stronger, not much to choose in defence, and I am not going to get involved in an argument about Kermorgant
Do you think we look stronger?

Yes I am assuming they are in competition with each other to a large extent.
Kermorgant and Sordell should have been wonderful, but really wasn't
Just for the sake of that poor midfield, yes we look stronger.
Solly, Morro, TBH, Wiggins
Gudmunson, Buyens, Cousins, Jackson, Harriott
Vetokele
Pure guesswork as I am yet to see a pre season game.
I would imagine the definite starters are Henderson, Morro, Wiggins, Jackson.
Every other position, it may be argued is up for grabs
Solly Bikey TBH Wiggins
Gudmundsson Buyens Jackson Harriott

Think a solid 4-5-1 or even 4-4-2 would outrun that midfield box to box especially with no big voice to run the midfield. Buyens & Gudmundsson new to the league, as is Moussa essentially (although will cut it no problem), Cousins still very young and Harriott not a leader. Don't think either of Solly or Moussa will start our opening game, either.
Solly - Haim - Morrison - Wiggins
---Buyens - Cousins - Jackson
Gudmundsson - Vetokele - Moussa
Please
Upfront I sense they are trying out Harriott with Vetokele...no idea what formation the front six will play: 4-3-3/4-5-1 or 4-4-2... But I sense Tucudean and Wilson on the bench. Along with Gomez. Perhaps Solly only plays an hour to ensure he influences and starts as many games as possible.
Just a week to go
Edit: seen the Portsmouth thread and that's the obvious choice for starting line up...
No Morrison and look at the reports / press conference after to get an idea of who doesn't retain their starting place from today.
Couple more good signings and I might change my mind, but I don't really think the squad looks that much stronger than last year. Maybe a bit better balanced and we at least have more options on the wings. That said, we should have finished further from trouble than we did last year so this years squad should keep us out if too much danger (I hope).
