There is now much more real competition for places than last season, although we need a proper creative spark off the bench. I fancy this will be March with Harper set to challenge in due course.
I don't expect Harper to figure much before Christmas but I suspect Hughton will be hoping he'll be a significant factor in the second half of the season. By all accounts he is something of a No. 10 with an eye for goal who cuts in from wide positions, rather than a poacher like Baldock, and...
1. Stockdale
2. Rosenior
3. Bong
4. Dunk
5. Hunemeier
6. Kayal
7. Stephens
8. Murphy
9. Harper
10.Zamora
11.Lua Lua.
It looks exciting, attacking, more experienced than we're used to and - thankfully - proper signings rather than loans.
