I think when Heinz Muller came back there wont be much of an improvement as Luke Steele is doing a brilliant job, but when some of the others come back i think it will be a pretty good improvement
RE: In my opinion Devaney is better than JCR nt JCR is the best attacking player at the club, bar none. And he puts in a shift. If he was producing worldy crosses all the time he would be in the PL. The lad does win a lot of corners and he generally gets the opposition moving backwards. ONLY fault is he doesn't get ball in early enough at times. But I will take that for what he does add to the team. JCR v Devaney: JCR every time. (I do think Devaney is a decent player though).
Steele / Muller I predict a gradual inprovement when Muller comes back as the defense will slowly become more confident the more appearances he makes.
RE: In my opinion Devaney is better than JCR nt Totally agree.</p> I'd say greater chance of a better cross from disco, BUT JCR causes far more problems during the entire game. I think we really miss him</p>
Muller Foster Moore Souza Kozluk JCR Anderson Howard Mounir Hume Macken I think that will be SD's first 11 once everyone is up to speed, and I think it will be more than enough to hold it's own in this division. A couple of options at RB if he wants to fit Foster in at CB, Devaney to cover JCR, Colace (if he ever plays) or Hassell for Anderson, Leon for Howard and Mounir, KO to come off bench, hopefully Rigters to show us some of his potential. Still no real cover up the left side though (although Hume can cover in midfield), but all in all the squad won't look too bad. Can't wait for that day.
Change Van Homoet for Kozluk at left back, there would be some pace down the left with him and Mounir.
RE: In my opinion Devaney is better than JCR nt We miss him massively. I think his worth to the team is underestimated. I hear people around me in the ground who think he only ever runs for the first half or that he is lazy. I really can't see where they get their opinion from. But if they have that opinion that leads me to believe that others share it. To me it is nonsense. We arguably miss his defensive input as much as his attacking.
Van Homoet cant defend tho` Yes he is quick, but he is poor at tackling. Plus he is like a bloody fish out of water on the left.
Once everyone is fit and eligible to play we should automatically see a massive improvement. Not just because Muller is better than Steele or JCR is better than Devaney, Simply because of the competition for places.
