    Who has released as many players than us?

    I'm sorry, but we have 2/3's of a team at best & that is assuming that they are all fit & the formation we are playing suits them all together.

    There looks some decent signings so far, but the type of signings we are making no more than 50% of them ever come good straight away. They are mostly stepping up a league, or we are trying the youngsters. I'm as worried as I was 3 weeks ago. I can only hope a few more teams are as unprepared as us.

    We have released 21 contracted players & we had a load more on loan last season. I agree with quality over quantity, but anyone who thinks we are gonna be higher than half way at Christmas is utterly deluded. It is going to take Danny some time to find a team & at the moment he has few options before injuries strike.

    Sorry I'm so negative at the moment but as far as I see it we are so under equipped we could go down again. I like Danny & I hope he can work some magic. We need it.

    No Blades in the top 6?

    I think they'll be there or thereabouts, but their signings so far don't fill me owt much confidence for them. And in losing Harry Maguire, they've lost what was their best centre half and 10 goals
