Like what Steve? Agree we've a few weaknesses (GK? LB?) but we're simply not creating anything for our front men and we're being pressed back too much because we are outplayed and outgunned (given Bridcutt plays so deep) in CM. For me it's a nailed on need ... we all rate CMS for his work rate and potential and slag off Paynter but there's nothing coming through for them at all ... Paynter having to come back, Barnes too and even CMS is spending too much time foraging around and chasing down balls in the wrong area of the pitch (all credit to him too) leaving us no numbers to really attack the villains ..... No, I reckon this is the hole to fill and hope Gus brings in someone of real quality just as soon as. Dunno if this fella is it but someone like that for sure
I do agree with what you are saying Rugrat, and don't get me wrong, we aren't far away. But I feel we need a midfield enforcer, a job I thought Harley could do. If we had a Viera/Essien type player, we would have a more solid midfield. A goalkeeper has got to be a priority, Casper is ok, but he needs a back up, and I am afraid Brez is not it.
But I don't really like these threads, because it sounds like I am moaning. I am more than happy with the start we have had up til now. I am confident that Gus will bring in the right players in January, and we can look forward to what will hopefully see our club become a solid Championship side.
