Given that the players have only been together for 2 weeks, what sort of output is expected in the first game? How effective are they going to be with such a limited preparation?

You would hope they hit the ground running.  Considering Fowler's recruitment strategy, these players should be hitting fitness pretty quickly and up to speed with the way he wants to play.

A few unfamiliar faces here. The only ones I recognise are ROD, Powell and I think the guy at the back is Bowles. Does anyone know who the others are?

Yes, I recall JA's "8 weeks" comment.  Still causes me to shake my head in disbelief.

I reckon I saw that pic last week but he posted a pic on his insta two days ago with longer hair and the beard still there.

Well if you type 3-5-2 in to these pages you can expect page after page of discussion. That’s what everyone is expecting now. 

Marquees (I don’t know) but am guessing ROD and O’Shea - for now at least, they are still shopping.

I wouldn’t rule out a couple more signings but they may be who we get, not so much as “marquees” but just exempt from the cap. 

I recon O’Shea will end up as marquee at another club anyway, I think he’ll be that good

Watching his highlights on youtube from last season, looks quite a player.  strong defensively, assured on the ball, good timing and can pick a pass.  He looks good in the clips where he steals posession from a DM position.  He's listed as CB/LB/CDM.
