There's lots of talk about bringing in a striker or two, but I have some concerns about the centre of our midfield.
Fox and Sarcevic are capable, but there is little backup past the injury prone Jamie Ness.
That was one of the major issues in the cup defeat at Bristol City for me. We were far too lightweight and open through the middle of the park and City tore us a new one!
Fox is top class, but if anything happens to him, we're gonna struggle. Songo'o is not the answer and dropping Carey deeper will hurt us. I wonder whether a Boateng-type loan signing would help us... or maybe we can nick one of the Chelsea kids if one impresses tomorrow night. Personally though, I'd like a more experienced head in there to work with Fox, Sarc and Ness. There was talk of Stanley Aborah earlier in the window and I think he'd still be a good addition if DA can manage him.
