VIEW FROM THE STANDS

Last season was rather underwhelming. Maybe two 5th- place finishes spoiled us, but poor recruitment and the lack of personality was alarming. We had some fun nights in Europe, though.

This season will be different because our new doctor means no injuries, which means finally qualifying for the Champions League after three years of an unfit squad. Dreaming’s worked before...

Our key player will be Wesley Fofana, an absolute superstar in the making.

I won’t be happy unless we sort out our set- piece deficiencies. It got so bad that every our time fans we celebrated cleared an opposition corner.

Our most underrated player is James Maddison – at least where Gareth Southgate is concerned. What more can he do?

The opposition player who grinds my gears is Harry Kane: 19 goals in 18 games against us. Enough already.

I’m least looking forward to playing Bournemouth, our Harry Kane of clubs. We’ve only won two of our last 10 games against them.

The fans’ opinion of the gaffer is still positive, but last season was a grind with some real lows. Three wins in four to finish showed the style we’ve linked with him.

The player I’d happily drive to another club is Jannik Vestergaard, though I’ll only fit him in if I put the back seats down and he lies flat.

The pantomime villain will be Jamie Vardy, when he scores a last- minute winner at the City Ground, mimes chopping down a tree and then dives into the Trent.

The one change I’d make would be getting rid of the gambling partners. Our club leads from the front in many other areas.

We’ll finish 7th.
