You have absolutely nailed the priorities for the summer Clive - the recruitment has to start with a new keeper who can install confidence in an inexperienced defence. I feel so sorry for Joe Walsh, he has looked like he would rather be somewhere, anywhere else from the opening day of the season, and his decision making ability has crumbled as any limited confidence he had has drained away. The best keepers we have had were in not doubt of their right to wear the shirt, and even average keepers can succeed for a while when they have the arrogance to convince those around them that they are the dogs whatsits - Les Sealey RIP got a cup winners medal on this basis, John Burridge had a ricket in him but would stand in front of a bus, 90 year old Shilton got picked for England when his knees had locked up. Even with a strained budget before sales, they should use the weekly wage released from the departure of Cook to bring in an experienced keeper who was the belief and personality to calm an erratic defence as a priority. |

Kieran Morgan's pass for Saito to set up Kolli was worth the ticket price - this boy is going to be a PL player. |

For a coach with his pedigree it has been surprising that Stephan has not set out early on how he wants to play or what the core structure of the team is. The regular 5-6 changes must be very disturbing for the players and I think has impacted the form of key individuals especially at the back. Can only hope that he will take stock now and settle on a core team and way of playing as it's the only way to get consistent results. If he does we could be 10-12th - if he doesn't I'd take 16th now. |
