    And we lost to FG, they need to get up to speed quickly and start dominating the midfield area, not done that so far this season in any game.
    Both at the back we look strong and the two up front will cause problems for oppisition defences, but we need that engine room providing the right sort of quality pass.

    Folk said that about Nicky Law. and we were significantly weaker for him leaving.

    The criticism of Law was ridiculous.

    Guess people just want those that lump it forward

    Same sort of folk when you're at the game that shout ''Get Rid'' when the centre half is looking for a pass then cry when they actually hoof it. Does my nut in!!

    Law was played out of position in his tenure and didn't sit deep. I liked Law.

    I just think we need 3 more to complete the squad, not rumours, but off the top of my head.

    Anthony Grant in permanently for your midfield enforcer - release him from his situation at Shrewsbury.
    Edmonson on loan from Leeds - should score at this level and looks physical enough to compete.
    Try offer more loan wages and go back and get George Cooper from Peterborough if we can shift a high earner like Akpan from the wage bill.

    Are you still taking about Devitt?

    If so then no, even with goals from midfield he's not what the team is lacking.

    Brilliant.

    Now if we can get back to the fact we have no one ti break up play or win us posession back which is why we are often overrun ..........

    He's exactly what the midfield needs (if he chips in with goals). Only Scannel has scored from midfield so far.

    Granted we need a good defensive midfielder but we also need goals from midfield.

    We definitely need better than we've got and wonder if GB's bar is set high enough to make the difference we all long to see.I want to see a bit more ambition from Rupp, Rhodes et al.

    He's not a central midfielder and if played there, as part of a two we'd get massively overrun.

    If he's played there as part of a 3 then we lose all width and without a proper CM to break up play and win us the ball back then, as we've already seen, we don't dominate possession either.

    The squad is easily good enough it’s the negative tactics every game we’ve sat deep and alias the other team far too much time and space

    I think some of our transfer business will depend on what the outcome of the Bolton and Bury sagas today. If they don't survive raid them for Lowe or Bunn possibly if they survive then try and offload some of our sh1te to them

    Seems to have all gone quiet on that one, maybe we've moved on?
