But .... What both performances tell us though is, we're woeful. We were unlucky against Brighton, we were lucky against Cardiff. Yes. But we're woeful. We've no pace, we don't over power teams, we're incredibly shaky at the back and are playing average Championship level football. We're going nowhere fast and we've no real structure to our game. We've not got a Ricky Lambert style front man who, at Championship level, will get us 30 goals and scare the sh*t out of defenders. What we do have, and what we desperately HAVE to try and hang on to this Summer is 4 or 5 promising young lads who, with the right guidance and the addition of some Wilkinson'esque signings (Ones that are brought in to do THE job of getting out of the Championship) We need a couple of old heads, one at the back, one up front and a keeper who will OWN his defence. The aforementioned Lambert would 'do a job' for us I think if he was available cheaply, maybe a central defender like Craig Gardner? and a flying midfielder/forward who might not be the greatest footballer but will scare the shit out of defences with pace ... No idea who that may be? And maybe Tim Howard type goalie? Anyway ... back to lurkdom! :) StigOfThePleaseEndThisFarceDump > It never ceases to amaze me how many people who seem compelled to air > their opinion on football (including so-called experts on telly) have > no real understanding of the game. > > I've just seen the highlights of our "magnificent victory at Cardiff" > (as described all over any and every medium.)
