Middle order strength

The so called "middle order" sides like Stoke and Sunderland have been really busy in the transfer market this Summer and they are going to be a lot harder this year to beat.....some of them were hard enough last year.

Sunderland look a lot stronger at the back and it will be interesting to see how Stoke get on today against Chelsea.

We have to get in a couple of players or we could be struggling to finish in the top 6 or 7 this year with the likes of a couple of sides who would normally looking just to survive in the premier going for Europe.

For us its about converting draws into wins , Mickey ...Last season we drew far to many games and in fact we won just 2 or maybe 3 games was it , by a margin of more than one goal?

If our front boys have a similar season to the last one, then maybe you're right that some of these other teams will get nearer to us rather than we get to where we want to be ...
