Bad luck for the lad and I wish him a speedy recovery, but we must move on quickly. I would have sold him last January (we discussed it on here - got to be a good board when we actually discuss things!!). His final figures stacked up as a 1 in 3 striker, but the raelity was that he under-performed and should have been a 1 in 2; the assists he received were many and mainly quality, and even though he was played in a lone and exposed role he did not do justice to our wonderful tippy-tap football. Some on here have said that Simpson is not the answer, but I can't see that; Simpson has done everything asked of him and there is more to come. Aluko, a man with magic in his feet, is also showing how to attack the net. Then there is Quinn; he has the same radar that pulls him goal-bound! Fryatt is a loss, but let's keep our feet on the ground, he is hardly indispensible - our problem is not attack (how wonderful to say that!), it is defence (who would have thought!), so I hope our owners do not splash the cash on an expensive striker but invest (wages/loan) on a stopping midfielder and bolster our suffering backs - when you play such an attacking formation you must expect your backs to take a hammering and they have! Keep the formation, it works (almost), don't get mathered about a player who has not contributed to this season's splendid attacking football and ous on stopping the leaking defence. McShane can play a role, as he has the experience and ability, but most importantly he has something to prove. A good manager will deprive players games to make them hungry and now is the time for McShane and NickP to earn trhe accolades - both are easily capable and both are now ready; as is the occasion.
