No attacking option = I'm worried. Not good enough.

    4-2-3-1 as the att central mid with ASM to his left, Fraser to his right, Bruno and Joelinton behind him.

    The other thing with all the forward players is they bring great energy from the bench too when teams tire.

    It's that right side that feels like the main weak link to me now, is Fraser good enough? I guess with a more solid defence & midfield and hopefully better service from the likes of Bruno & Trippier behind him, he might get more of a chance to prove himself.

    There's been an improvement of late. I think one or two have more confidence with Trippier in the team and barking instructions.

    Defo needs to improve. I was hopeful when he signed but he’s hardly been fit, and been struggling for form as a result. No excuses for him though bar we are really **** of course.

    Hope your well mate <cheers> Good to see you back posting. Unless you’ve just been under a different name. I lost track on here <laugh>

    I do think Tripps has made a big difference in his talking to and encouraging of the others.

    Dear me, back 2 minutes and he’s milking it for the sympathy vote. <doh>

    Nice assist from Bruno last night. He'll make goals for us.

    Wilson back for Brighton game apparently, only 4 games before that, bit of a boost.

    I'm disappointed we couldn't get anyone across the line at all really. We literally just had to sign someone better than Gayle.

    I was wondering whether we should have gone balls deep for someone like Breherton at Blackburn. Or would it have been a risk?

    Terry said something about Diego Costa which to be fair probably would have a been a good shout.
