Attacking we look very very good at times, always threatening, defending was woeful at best, it was like watching a Williams team defend, nobody willing to clear the ball out of the box despite having the chance to.
Result totally unimportant and it appears no extra injuries.
Donohue will take a few more games to get up to speed. Palmer quite impressive despite being totally 1 footed, hope he gets the move that frees up wages and a place in the squad.

I'm not worried about CB's. Not sure we have anyone outstanding but any combo of Baudry/Conroy/Odimayo/Grounds/Fryers are good enough.
The problem as Wellens has mentioned is the midfield. We got away with Grant and Doughty as two a lot last year with the work rate of Yates to compliment.
Its a league higher and Grant can't bully the opposition in this league. Really need at least one, preferably 2 more all round midfielders before the window closes.
Certainly against some of the stronger teams, that third midfielder to get a bit of possession would be handy. It's a shame Palmer hasn't worked out - in little flashes you can see a decent player in him and obviously Lyden would be that player if fit. |

Bingo. We're desperate at CM. And I'd suggest that when fit, Fryers is an outstanding CB. Certainly the pick of the bunch. |

The Palmer situation confuses me. Wellens said if was looking for a midfielder now Palmer is the exact type of player he would be looking at. Yet we have him and dont play him. Is it just a case of doesn't fit, or wants a different option with his wage?

Palmer seemed alright, maybe he could be this season's Keshi and come back from the brink?

Unless they've fallen out behind the scenes and Wellens won't forgive |

I don't think he fancies Palmer with Smith, wants something a bit more athletic maybe. Palmer and Smith would get in each others way, they both want to get on the ball and chase it about a bit. Therefore you have to free his slot up with the new wage restrictions - even if we don;t free up money, it's the allocation in the 25. |

I had to chuckle at the suggestion that Sid Nelson is some form of defensive saviour.

Well yes but that’s a different matter, Nelson would be like a square peg in a round hole. Just like Zakuani looked beyond uncomfortable last season. |

Nobody has suggested he is, i suggested someone in his style of blood and guts defending would help us, nothing more. |

What's all this "got away with" nonsense, Grant and Doughty was all that was required, we picked a team for promotion and that's what happened. |

I think Jordan Lyden might have something to say about that too. |
