    For me

    Bobby's had a real good go of it in central midfield. He's given it all he's got and had a few games where he's looked OK. But the longer he's played there the more apparent it has become that he hasn't quite got it. His positioning isn't all it could be and he's not quick enough in finding the right pass. The real sickener for me is that Simon Davey has failed to address the midfield problem in the summer and we're having to start the season with Hassell once again in the centre. Signing a South American with no experience of English football and hoping he will slot straight into the team with no problems is extremely short sighted. We should have signed more cover.
