Yep Curtis is reasonably quick which is why I thought a move for him in the window might be an idea. We really lack pace all over the pitch, Gabby apart.

You're not alone Ad@m, but I think too many judge Davies on the 4 or 5 shockers he had for us and conveniently forget he had quite a few good games for us too - more, dare I say, than I've ever seen Clark or Baker have. I don't think anyone thinks pace is all you need, but it's important in the premier league. Clark lacks not only pace but strength and positional nous as well. If he were quicker he might be able to recover from some his many mistakes a bit more often.

Look at McGrath, Laursen and Mellberg - none of them were particularly pacey but they knew where to be and when to be there.
