    I think we need a midfielder regardless of Hatate staying but I'm kinda sick of saying it.

    Wouldn't surprise me if Hacska and Hatate were sold either.

    I agree but can't see one coming in unless one of the starter's leaves (probably Hatate).

    This first half hour showing what I think is wrong with the midfield. Too many similar players.

    Lacking power and speed.

    That starting XI is so weak. Absolutely no excuses for it at this stage of the window.

    Considerably weaker than our team last season.

    We need first team ready players to come into that defence and midfield immediately.

    Current squad NOWHERE near good enough. It's not even debatable at this point.

    We've alot of games to play and will pick up injuries and suspensions and players will hit tough patches of form (which is normal). We also have a few boys who will need time to settle in.

    Needs to be alot of movement in the next few weeks.

    Let's hopefully see out this game now and take a vital 3 points

    Massively need some athleticism and power added to midfield and the back line..

    Also need some more guile and creativity in midfield and definitely from our wingers..

    Hatate coming on will help the midfield today....I'm sure of it..

    Today's really * highlights the need for another CB (even after the Gustav fella), another left back and we desperately need AJ back.

    Another goalkeeper would be * handy too.

    And if Hatate is being dicked about, a new * midfielder.

    Unquestionably we need to sign some players that can start in their position. The board have made money from their transfers and will probably make more before the window is up. They need to back the manager and buy some quality players to fit his system.

    Apparently the rags have said today we are interested in the Dutch boy still despite Lagerheid coming in?

    So much work to do. I'm really losing confidence we'll manage it all this window.

    Too much to do now in the little time left.

    Granted BR wanted to time to assess the squad. But LB was always needed. Starfelt going would have been known since the end of last season and a CM was a must for a while too.

    Like you said. Confidence to address it in the next few weeks for me is very low.

    Need both as well.
    GL on his own isn't enough.
    We needed another before Starfelt left.
