As the dust begins to settle after last night’s match at the Bridge drew a line under Gameweek 1, we cast an eye back over the 11 matches played out. In particular, we analyse some impressive attacking performances at the back and, crucially, highlight a number of protagonists who stood head and shoulders above many of their team-mates last time out from an offensive point of view.

      Not John, think he was cover for Taylor while suspended. Bit of a toss-up between the other two. Or play it safe, spend 0.5m more and get Taylor.

        Hudson was the clubs player of the season last year if I'm not mistaken. Brayford was also signed for (relatively) a large transfer fee and the gaffer said he was the best RB in the championship last year.

            -4 and get Jeck in for Lukaku.

If we were sitting worrying about everyone who is dying right now and prioritising our unwarranted grief over everything else in our lives we couldn't function.

    Ive made 2 transfers. Are they decent and logical?
    Ivanovic ➡ zabaleta
    Lukaku ➡ giroud

    Had considered leaving one but I'll have to do them eventually. They ok?
