Early days, but in the Summer i'd be looking to get replacements for
Bannan, Delph, Ireland, KEA, Lichaj and possibly Holman.

What about albrighton?

Good point,  forgot about him.

What's happened with him anyway, his touch is awful.

Wonder whether the Swansea game will have any bearing on whether money will be spent in the window and how much?

Weirdly may have been better to get another tonking if it rammed home just how much strengthening we needed...

Randy flew home yesterday afternoon so I guess any transfer policy will have been thrashed out and hopefully we may see movement soon in the market.

Midfield is definitely the problem that needs sorting. I reckon it's what causes us so much problems at the back as well as it's constantly putting the defence under pressure.

Exactly we neither provide protection for the defence or creativity for the forwards- the midfield area is a huge problem and needs at least two new additions.

Who would we get in to replace him? He hasn't had time to unpack I can't belive 22 people want him sacked!

I think 90 per cent to keep him says it all really...you are always going to get the odd cretin!

Its clear that the majority of this forum want him to stay. However, still 22 people is more than expected!

I reckon, come the end of the season, we'll have a much better idea how many of these kids are good enough. At that point, we have to move them on, and stop kidding ourselves that they're all going to make the mark, because they won't.

I'm already there with some of them. 

Baker and Bannan can, I think, be useful players for us long term. Maybe not first team fixtures, but  good enough to always be in and around the starting XI.    Clark, Delph and -much as it pains me to say it- Albrighton probably won't be. 

It's been sink or swim for Clark, he's seen a lot of game time this season and looked no better for it.   Probably worse, in fact.   He should go on to have a decent career, but prob at a lower level.   I do think he might some use to us as a defensive midfielder, he has a decent touch and good composure (sometimes).  He just seems to get bullied far too much in one on one duels, you can't really have that kind of deficiency in a centre half.

How are you going to last to the 31st without exploding?

Is put Clark in the 'very inconsistent' category so far this season. Not the shit category (lichaj, herd, albrighton)

I think one the biggest disappointments has been KEA, I really thought he'd be better.
Seemed promising at first but faded badly.

Especially as the videos from Holland seemed to show someone who was NRC but with passing. Here he can't seem to tackle at all.

Big step-up isn't it. Given time to settle he'll probably adapt. Just time is something we haven't got ATM.

Do you think so gnash, I haven't seen anything that makes me think kea will be make it in this league, he has been far too lightweight.
