All of them apart from Duffy and Ryan.........Murray is borderline.

I think we will play a higher line and be more adventurous so many of our more attacking players will flourish
It will also depend a lot on the set up, If we play 3 CB's with a high press then we may see a lot more from Montoya, Dunk, Bernardo, Knockaert, Bissouma, Propper, March and probably a pacey Andone will get a chance to shine but less need for Stephens as the Centre backs deal with break away moves. In a 4-4-2 formation we could see more emphasis on ball retention and get our better passers into the side. I'm looking forward to a different approach but still think we will be in that mix of 11th to 17th

I'm just hoping he gets a bit more time than the dim Finn before the chants of 'You don't know what you're doing' start.

1. Since when did that stop anybody on Nsc having an opinion. I only watched the Swansea v Man City game but I think most of the players will be revitalised simply because its a new broom.
2. As much as I loved Bobby's goal (the one at Leeds was so memorable) surely Andone's goal running from the halfway line, from Duffy's pass was better, but then he only had to beat Palace's defence.

If Dunk stays, hopefully Potter will encourage him to come out more and pass the ball, like he did in the Championship.
I must say it was a joy to watch, after being slightly shackled recently

Considering we're going to attack a hell of a lot more than we're used to, it could end up being BOOM or BUST depending on how the players cope! Either way I guess we'll see a lot more entertaining matches, which was the whole point of the change right?

I think Knocky will have a new lease of life, Locadia will come good, Not sure about Ali J although I would imagine he will get more game time so he will have a better season. Who do yo think will benefit from a new playing style under The MAGICIAN?
Surely Potter is The WIZARD?

You might be surprised with Ryan, he can be the start of the counter attack if he has players in front of him that are looking for a quick ball out from him, his distribution is excellent. I think Potter will use that at least in some games, if not all.

Yes, and the occasional foray over the half way line as well when the pitch opens up for him to do so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9Io_q6P1a4

I can't think of any player that might not look a better player, if given the right role, in the right set up, to combat a particular opposition. What will be more interesting to see is which players are in the side every game, however we set up, and whoever we are playing. I suspect that Ryan and Dunk will be the only names he does not have a think about dropping in any scenario.
Hope you are correct about Bernardo and particularly Montoya I suspect they may have restricted game time if we end up playing three at the back as others have suggested.
I could see them both working as wing backs, particularly Montoya. Bernardo could even play on the left side of a back three IMO.
Fair enough -they are really not the same thing though. Hoofing the ball upfield and having one quick player charge after it on his own, and hoping for the best (see Andone v Palace, and March v Arsenal) is NOT the same thing as transitioning quickly and breaking in numbers on the opposition.
One of those is an actual tactic, the other is not.

I'm going with Davy Pröpper. Everything I know about Potter suggests that there will be a lot more movement off the ball this season and he is just the player to spot the runs and to pick and play the right pass.
