Calm down lads, far too much negativity in recent weeks.
All this side really needs is two CMs who can actually track back and tackle properly + a half decent LB (maybe Lihaj on loan again?) and we will at the very least mount a serious top2 challenge.
We have a wealth of attacking talent in this team that would make even some premier league sides envious, the number of goals scored this season speaks for itself.
If we can just finally sign a genuine DM then all our problems will be solved. Sure our back 4 aren't exactly world class, but it doesn't help when you've got BJ bombing forward every second leaving them exposed and lazy Kilkenny never putting a foot in, while barking at everyone else for his own mistakes.
I'm convinced that even Michael Doyle would have done a better job in that role last year than Killa and BJ put together.
There's no quick fix in this division, and recent history tells us that it's the team's the play together the longest, not the ones who spend the most money, that often end up getting promoted. With that thought in mind, Grayson is clearly building something here and I've no doubt that the squad, especially the backline, will return from pre-season next August, a much stronger unit having developed a greater understanding with each other... Something which is impossible to achieve when you sign about 7 defenders half way through a season and expect them all to gel immediately and perform together behind a dysfunctional central midfield.
