This crucial part you missed Boggers, was that above all else our defence needs strengthening. If its not, we won;t be challenging the autos...that is not even debatable.
And before you and anyone else responds by saying Kissa will sort it out, we don't know how badly his injury has affected him. Lees has had a good seson in League 2 but is unproven at this level. We need to bring in defenders as the no.1 priority.
White, you make a fair point. SG feels, having seen him in training over the previous few weeks, that he is expected to make a full recovery. Having had a career ending injury myself, I appreciate that there is some doubt here, which explains why they're initially offering him only a short extension. That said, we still have OB, Bruce, & Bromby plus a developing Lees to push for starting places. OB isn't everyone's cup of tea. But we haven't been turned over badly since his arrival, unless my memory is playing tricks. We may have conceded goals, but we're not now having 4, 5, & 6 put past us as we were towards the end of 2010 before OB arrived. We'll see how things develop, but I for one think we'll get a couple of new arrivals & be in a strong psition to compete for auto.
I'm not going to go all LIW on you, but IMO O'Brien has been pretty average since he signed permanently with us. We havn't had a settled defence with Bruce, Bromby and Naylor all being experimented with.
QPR kept 25 clean sheets, we had 11. Its not rocket science that if we stick with what we had this season, that figure won't change much.
We need another, younger Kisnorbo. And that means spending a bit of cash.
Fair point White. Let's wait & see what happens, especially as Bruce is supposed to be the young Kisnorbo
Morning all....
Got through at last...Now wheres the smileys..LOL
Right off to see whats about and find the wums..LOL
