As soon as the equaliser went in you knew a second was coming. Not building from the back and acquiring a solid defensive foundation over the summer is really hurting us. We hear a lot about potential attacking movement in Jan but I’d seriously be looking at CBs with an eye to replace Dael Fry and Paddy Mc.
I think this is a little unfair, we do need a rb now but for me if we didn't have injuries, Smith, Dijksteel, Fry, Rav, Lenihan, Clarke, Paddy, Engel and bangura (Smith, Rav, lenihan, engel) is a more than adequate defence for this division with the other as back up, its working as a unit, we are constantly changing the team so are unable to build relationships, having more energy in the midfield Hackney and obrien with Mcgree, forss and Jones in front would drastically improve our team, its fine margins.
We do lack quality in depth but we have got what we have got, I pray that Diallo and a one or two others maybe on our January shopping list to add some much needed quality to our starting 11.
One thing that frustrates me is Carricks persistence to play the same way no matter matter, no sign of an extra defender, extra midfielder to shore up areas change formation 451 or 541 and conversely add an extra striker when we need a goal, we just go out on a wim in general and it worries me.
