Whilst being great for our league position must not mask the fact we’ve been rubbish for the majority and are still severely lacking the quality to remain in this league, it must not give an excuse to the board to think everything is ok and rosy. 3 defenders needed who are better and more experienced than the ones we have, a midfielder and another striker. that is all assuming no one from the current first 11 is sold. Merry Christmas!
I don't reckon we have been "rubbish for the majority". We've played some good stuff. The overall performances have often been let down by glaring errors leading to goals. Most games we've been more than competitive, and often lost it late on. We haven't played better in the games we've recently won. But other teams make errors as well, and Chaplin's found his shooting boots. If we're getting new players in next month, then it must be to try to immediately replace inferior ones, and not have them needing to be brought up to speed. I don't want to name any inferior ones on Xmas Eve - I want to think that they're all having a few happy days, along with all who support us.
I don’t think we need major surgery, just one older, experienced defender to organise the eager young pups at the back. I’ve not a shred of doubt that we’ll stay up.
