Slow starters

In all 3 games so far we have started slow and been under the cosh, Sunderland could have been 1 up but didn?t have the quality. Can?t afford that today, need to be bang at it. I think Luis may start, but not sure who makes way. Guessing here, and not sure if Ekdal fit and maybe time to start Axel:

Dubravka
Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman
Braun Larson, Luis, Ugochukwa, Cullen, Anthony
Foster

Hope Tchouna starts instead of JBL but doubt it. Hannibal missing out here.

Give it ten games in and let's see how we are doing. It's always "Find Your Feet Time" when a team moves up a league. I'm optimistic about getting 40 points or somewhere near. COYC!

Elephant in the room was Laurent. Way too negative for me, no chance of periods of respite. Luis was excellent and should have started this difficult fixture.
