I've got to see it on the field. I've been highly pessimistic about this season from the start, but I'm starting to warm to it slightly, Hodgson strikes me as a man with a plan. I hate reading the news releases where he states the limited funds hes got for the transfer window.

In my opinion we still need a bona fide #1 Left Back for big games, some kids can fill the role against weaker opposition, but we need a big guy there. I get the impression that if one isnt bought he'll run with Skrtel and Agger/Wilson/Greek in the CB and play Carra out left. That worries me against major competition.

I like Hodgson so far, hes a cool, calm, steady hand. I'll wait until I see what this team on the pitch, and the tactics that he uses. I know Rafa's tactics used to frustrate me endlessly, I hope he'll be better, but who knows.
