Current starting 11 would be

GK Ryan
RB Bruno
CB Dunk
CB Duffy
LB Rosenior
CM Stephens
CM Gross
CM Kayal
LW March
RW Knockeart
FW Murray

That's not a bad starting 11 is it? It also shows we don't need to sign 6 or 7 players like Huddersfield have, we just need a couple of extra players who would add additional quality. Weak areas for me are LB and FW.

Not a bad starting 11 if we were still gracing the Championship but sadly we are in with the big boys now.......

We are not really going to be competing with the likes of Chelsea, Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal etc. More the likes of Watford, Burnley, Huddersfield, Stoke, Swansea, Palace, West Ham, to name a few. I think our squad is comparable to those teams, but yes we do need to strengthen in certain areas.

If that was our starting 11, we would need better supporting players in the Premiership, i still don't think Murray can lead the line against the Premier league centre backs.

Definitely need 5 more IMO.

Fair point in terms of quality of squads, ours is weaker. Although I think West Ham and Stoke could struggle this season and both lose managers early in the season.

I am concerned that many are suggesting Rosenior as left back as I am fairly sure that he will be needed to cover Bruno at right back.

not really, people are just voting to say he is good enough for the premier league, which he has proved before unlike our other full backs.

I think that many are at cross purposes with some suggesting a starting XI which is what I was commenting on.

I posted a starting XI based on the current voting. Rosenior is 10th based on the current vote, 1 place ahead of Bruno, as Rosenior has played way more football at left back than Bruno that is why I put them that way round. Bong the only other left back in the squad is way down in 19th place and with half the votes of Rosenior. Based on current votes that is our best starting XI.

Thank you Bozza for starting this poll. Interesting results already.

I voted for 17 of the players, even though I often debate/moan that we need to get in a lot top flight quality this summer, which I stand by.

The overwhelming majority don't rate Skalak and Norwood as PL good enough, as do I. In debates others consider it disloyal crime to doubt Skalak's PL credentials .... turns out the quiet majority think the polar opposite.
