are you saying in all probability AK won't cut the mustard?

I think based on what I have seen that BFG will be ok in the Premier. Different sort of player to Duffy and possibly better suited to playing against smaller, faster(?) players. Duffy for the more physical teams.
I think CH will change the formation to 5 4 1 , 3 centre backs. We will need to spend on a decent forward or get very lucky in the loan market.

The club ought to offload the other 4 wingers if our best isn't good enough.
Previous MO would suggest a cheeky bid of Craig Noone will appear on Football Rumours, any day now.
Ideally both.

He has been outstanding for us until about 3 or 4 games ago but I think that he will make less of an impression next season and when he does it will be in less games. We will therefore have to look elsewhere for inspiration and a match winner.

In order to survive at a higher level, our recruitment team have to supply us with 5 / 6 players of such a high standard that our current best players become the worst players in the squad, and the current worst players only get sporadic substitute appearances. That is the order or the task that lies ahead of us. If we persevere with our weakest / eldest players against the quality that is prevalent in the premiership / premier league, we will be mathematically down by Christmas, let alone Easter.
cf: Bournemouth spent £23 million in theit first summer and had another £18 million in reserve spent in January 2016.

I think notionally they played 4-4-2 in their first season and changed over to 4-2-3-1 for this season.
The time before when we got promoted, a few players that we would not think would make the grade excelled in the top flight: e.g. Peter O'Sullivan.
