Has Brucie addressed all the problems? Is the squad big enough? Do we still have things that need addressing in the next transfer window? Just wanted to know people's thoughts
Unless McClean comes good/given a chance left side, plus depends if Gyan stays. IMO apart from that with Gordon coming back and hopefully Campbell as well we have a squad that can push on and consolidate a top 8-10 finish (progress to me).
With McClean, Gordon and Campbell to come in, I agree with froggy, we have a squad that really has the potential to do something worthwhile. So come on, Brucie. Prove my misgivings about you wrong!!
My only concern is still strikers, not concerned about the LW because I think Sess is the answer with Richardson decent back up, if they are used there. With Campbell still out and Ji and Wickham ones for the future, in Brucies words, it leaves us with Bendtner and Gyan and we all have doubts about Gyan at the mo. It could all change this weekend with Bendtner hitting the fround running.
You know how great teams were (are) measured by their "spine" of goalkeeper, centre back, midfield general and scorer (the 1966 World Cup-winning team is a prime example)? Well, I reckon we should exploit not our spine but our "head and shoulders", making sure that we've got Sess, Bendtner and Gyan in the game at all times, not pumping the ball upfield and hoping, but getting the ball to whichever one of them drops deep (it mustn't be Sess all the time or else the other team would just have to mark him out of the game - quite a job, mind) and supporting them up the park. This would be a bit like Blackpool last year but I feel with the class we have behind these three, we wouldn't be leaving ourselves open the way they did. Total but not reckless attack. 1-7-3 the new winning system?
Simple answer......No Where's the l/w? we all know Sess can play there, but SB has gave no indication so-far that he is going to play him there.
