Which isn't to say the penny won't drop and It would be a decent idea to get a grip of the job if you want to see at least one season here .

The backwater of Austrian football awaits if you don't which would be disappointing given the last two have landed themselves better opportunities and no doubt better financial enhancements .
First impressions - we have appointed an exceptional manager - who has been able to shuffle a depleted pack into not conceding many goals.
Yes we lost heavily at Bournemouth because they were fully prepared for this season and we arn’t.
Even when we have everyone back it will be tough this season to beat Bournemouth.
But other than that we arn’t conceding many.

I think we are stronger this season.
Defence we have finally got Kitchen into the team.
And when Mads gets back that defence will take some breaking down.

In midfield - we have added Benson and Gomes.
Vita on paper should be a really good recruit but has only just joined the squad.
We have far more options this season to change things around.
But even with players out the midfield is causing opposition teams problems.

In attack - Leya and Cole have been brought in to add speed - but they are still not up to the rigours of the Championship.
Obbi brought in to bring power to the front line because we lost Dike - but Obbi isn’t yet ready.
On top of this Morris gets injured.

Comparisons between this season and last.
Goalkeepers - same as - brilliant.
Defence - stronger this season.
Midfield - more options and flexibility this season.
Attack - much weaker so far this season.
