Smith has got his work cut out to keep this pile of crap out of the bottom six never mind a play off spot - massive rebuild required - starting at the back - especially keeper. Being realistic this season is all about rebuilding the squad - Bruce has left us in a right state -

Being realistic this season is all about rebuilding the squad - Bruce has left us in a right state - I disagree. We've got 7 or 8 players would would walk in to any team in the league. The other 3/4 are unfortunately all in our defence, but if we go with the attitude of scoring more than the opposition, once Deano's had time to work with them a bit we should be smashing this league and it'll be fun doing it.It just comes down to whether we've wasted too much time on Bruce this season.
I don't agree that we lack quality. I think the problem is that we bought players who at one time were quality. I remember being really chuffed that we'd signed Jedinak because our midfield had no bite, but the player we got was more or less ready to be put out to pasture. Bruce's transfer policy was a little bit like opting for a takeaway when you should be filling the freezer - expensive, unwise and only able to fill a hole for a brief amount of time.
