I've heard a few people say that if we get a new striker then we'll be fine.

I tend to agree, but for different reasons. Teams are all about balance. If we carry more threat going forward, this will earn us more respect, which will mean that the opposition will play deeper. However, better strikers does not necessarily equate to more goals. We do not currently have enough width far enough forward. The diamond protects our back four but restricts our width. However, I have little confidence in the quality of our wide players either, and I am particularly concerned by our lack of pace. So that is a good forward and two good wingers. Of course, if we play 4-4-2, that exposes the centre of our midfield, particularly on the counter. They are not mobile enough and I am doubtful if they have the killer pass. So that's a forward and the whole midfield. Of course, we have needed a dominant centre back, one with pace, ever since Shackell left. So that is two centre backs, the whole midfield and a forward. We just need 7 players and well will be fine. So, where is that gold mine again.

 

Jesus Hill and the raising of stones.

 

You're saying reinstating Bobby is a must to help us keep more clean sheets, yeah? So here are the stats:

Played in just half of our games this season has Sir Bob. One clean sheet in all those and he got sent off.

Sorry if I'm misundersting your point...............Hassells only played in 3 league games this season (acc. to SkySports)

 

Big Sam wants Anelka for West Ham but said he's talking to 25 clubs. Maybe we are one of them
