Sam Allardyce, who knows a thing or two about saving teams from relegation, said the absolute first essential is to get as many points as possible from your early games to give you something of a cushion for when teams work you out a bit and the going gets tougher.
Last season under Paul Warne we got 14 points from the first 10 games and that was definitely a significant factor in helping to keep us up.
Personally I think the current group of players will struggle to get many points from the early games (who's going to supply the crosses, who's going to score the goals?) so I hope MT and the recruitment team are planning to get the squad sorted way before 1st September.
