With Burn, I just can't see how this is a purple patch. Yes, he's gonna be dumped on his ass by certain players, yes he can look a bit awkward and was a little sloppy with his passing at times on Sat, but he is clearly very well suited to this role and a real bloody handful both in defence and...

He's the same size as a second row forward. Absolute madness.

Same size as Peter Crouch. It's weird. Gotta love Crouchy but the difference is huge.

I've always worried about Bernardo when he is too central- a few too many last ditch tackles and misplaced passes for my liking. For me he is an out and out wing back. But who knows was Magic Potter can do with him!

Exactly. Potter would have seen enough of Burn in training and pre-season. It's very curious.

It's fascinating especially because of Burn's incredible improvement. Improvement? Whatever it is, surely Potter didn't expect to get quite as much out of him. So now we have our record signing on the bench and the only realistic way he has a chance of playing is to replace the absolute rock...

Is Duffy good enough on the ball for al this? (Just asking like)

I'm really excited about Gross this season. We saw two seasons ago how good his short range passing is, his vision and his general intelligence. It's an awful football cliche, but it feels like a new signing. He made 5 key passes on Saturday (that's a lot). We just need to get the balance right...

Absolutely. We never looked like getting spanked under CH did we? But i can see a couple of the big boys spanking us this season. If we keep playing like this I'll happily take that. And a 5-4 or two!

Christ, we mauled them statistically. Didn't feel quite as emphatic as that. People are really getting excited about our reincarnation.
