Anyway, I was positive about what Goodwin was trying to do, ie add some steel and never say die into the side.
The addition of Walton Gallagher and Moult has added a whole new dimension, pre season Sibbald has looked great too.
My main worry is penetration and creativity from midfield, not quite seeing that yet from the young players who've been tried. If we added that one player I think we would be very hard to finish above. He's definitely trying Cudjoe as that player, imo not quite there yet.
This all assumes that Louis Moult stays fit, maybe if we get some players out we could add a second striker.
So I'm going to stick my neck out here and say yeah with a fair wind we can win this league.
