Disjointed is a good adjective to describe the current performances but you are wrong to say the bricks are in place in your peroration.

We are several bricks short of a solid structure, and this is is most unlikely to be resolved in January.

Leeds were the more organised, which is unsurprising as they’ve had a lot longer to get their team together, Villa possessed the greater individual flair

Nail on the proverbial.

We do have the potential to improve.  January will help-Just how much remains to be seen.

I'm still enjoying the ride though.  It's far more enjoyable watching the club rebuild and moving forwards, as opposed to watching it self destruct.

We are better than teams like Leeds, Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday, we just lack the experience that these sides have of being together as a group for longer.

Good article Dave. Interesting comments from Bruce about having 6 strikers but not enough balance in the squad. Hopefully we will see some decent midfielders and defenders signed in Jan.
