Today will be an important day as a lot of premier league friendly lineups should give us (and the players) a fair idea of whether they'll likely be involved come the main kick off.
37 games for Boro last season, 6 goals. Don't think we're missing out on much.
He’s a target man who holds it up. 1 in 4 record at Preston and his all round game was enough to convince West Ham to pay 10m quid for him. He had a tough time under a misfiring Boro last season but I reckon he’s decent.
Week to go before the season starts , and we’re about 6/7 players short. Weaker squad than we had this time in the division below last year . Bang in trouble as it stands .

Don't know about 6-7. I'd say closer to 4-5. Two forwards, 2-3 midfielders. Before the first game last season we were still to bring in Bielik, Steer, Cullen, and Ward, with Fosu and Reeves out injured. Neither make for particularly pretty reading, and we only named five on the bench against Sunderland I believe.
I was incredibly critical of the squad then. This time around, we have three fewer weeks of the window in which to secure loans, and nobody to come back from injury to give us a boost in a month or two. Gallen, Bowyer, Jacko et al have done it before, but it was also some good work in January that got us over the line. I worry that that leaving it so late magic won't work a second time around.

Reckon he was on LB’s list?
I reckon they’ll pull some rabbits out of hats and we’ll be ok
