    Strubber mentioned the other day three players for January. I hope he meant five or six and they are all defenders. We simply have to cut our loses with them even though many haven't been here long. It's early enough in their time with us to see they aren't up to scratch.

    I think the addition of a experienced centre back and or midfield general would make all the difference. Tragically the board dont seem to agree

    Wasn’t there today but I think 5 or 6 defenders is over the top. We need a right back and at least 1 Centre half who can organise the defence ideally 2 . It may be even just signing a Kevin Long type of player may be enough. Losing a top class keeper one very good Centre half and one average CH has really cost us

    We need a whole back four and a couple spare for competition. I agree we need a leader but even if we had Van Dyke in our defence it doesn't mean the rest would all of a sudden be better and stop making mistakes.

    To throw away a lead twice is frustrating. To only win once when scoring twice this season is not acceptable. We owe no loyalty to any player. If we stand by the rubbish we've got we will be relegated and they will leave us.
