Stronger or weaker than the squad that finished last season?

I've been a bit more positive mate!
Stronger beats weaker 5-4!
Golkeeper - Maenpaa in, Walton out on loan. Stronger.
Right Back - Rosenoir in with Bruno & Calde as support. Stronger.
Central Defence - Halford & Hughes out. Weaker.
Left Back - Bennett out, Bong in. Rosenoir as back up & Chicksen a year more experienced. Stronger
Central Mid - Crofts close to return & Stephens 100% fit. Stronger
Right wing - Carayol out. March injured again. No replacement. Weaker.
Left Wing - No change - Kaz has no competition (still very weak).
Attacking mid - Lost Tex. No replacement. Weaker.
Striker - Hemed in. Baldock to play as a centre forward & Clunge back. Best out CMS out. Stronger but no players to mount a serious challenge to Hemed & Baldock.

Unless we are bottom of the league he won't be booted out at Christmas, 3 years left on the contract + I think Bloom wouldn't mind a bit of stability.

He'll have to walk, he won't get sacked but the problem will lie with insufficient quality recruitment not his managerial skills I fear.

No offence to CMS, but given that he scored one goal in August and provided one assist in February, how could Hemed be worse?

Good call. I will reserve my judgement until all the signings/ loans are over.
On the optimistic side, Stephens missed a lot of last season, Crofts is back (hopefully) Ince has more experience, Kayal was not with us for the whole season, we have a decent right back in Rosenior, the left back could be decent. We have off loaded a few who needed to go.
I like to think that a CB will be coming in........this is a position that worries me atm.

i agree with you about the cb and the other areas that i am worried about are down the wings and we still need a creative midfielder and i dont think either lua lua and march will last 90 minutes a game and i dont want to see players like calderon or caskey as wide players because they are not
