It's true though. We are 3 players away from a top 6 or even possibly top 2 side IMO.

3 players is more than 25% of the side....

[Arriba]

a left mid,centre half and a striker short?

Yes. Well certainly the first 2 Arriba. The striker isn't essential but I think we could do with another because I still have doubts about Pericard and maybe Ball is too lightweight.

It's the striker that we're missing....

Well for me it's the LM. Each to their own though. We certainly all agree that we need one of each of the 3 positions mentioned.

Iffy's OB is right.  This is possibly the best squad with which we've started a season for years.

Love LJF and Cuthbert but there's not much experience there, Dossevi is neither a scorer nor a target man I fear (albeit in the right role he could be quality and that's no criticism but it could become one of DW if he doesn't recognize that)  and however fast O'Brien may be is not really a footballer and that means he will never be a consistent contributor.

So yes, agreed, get a striker, a wide left-sided player, an experienced centre back, perhaps on loan and we'll have a top squad.

I'm still a bit concerned by talk about gelling, about being a player or two short and all that is a bit of an excuse.  The season has started and we need to be grinding out results now (as other teams with arguably less able individuals must) and that is down to Danny and the mental strength and culture he instils.

Good post.

Some people just need to chill out!

Has anyone got a picture of a panic button?
