We need experience, but we need players with the right attitude as well. The never say die attitude. We need fighters and characters. I think this squad lacks personality.
One of the first signings needs to be Alan Sheehan from Luton to fill in the Left Back Position. His contract expires there in the summer so he needs to put himself in the shop window as he is not a regular there and they are knocking on the door of the championship.
Another signing needs to be Adebayo Akinfenwa from Wycombe Wanderers. We cannot rely on Stead all the time so he could come in and be the target man and physical presence up front to bring the likes of Dennis and Hemmings, Enzio into the game. Also give him the ball in the box in the air and he'll score goals. A character as well.
Then we need Neal Bishop who is not going to come here but we need someone of this ilk a fully experience central midfield spoiler. It's got a be a big personality, someone vocal and have captain qualities.
I'd try and get an experience goal keeper as well like a Roy Carroll on loan until the end of the season. Again someone which character who commands and controls the back four in front of him.
What I'm saying is we need a new spine of experienced players and characters who have been there done it we can't afford to take a gamble on any alternative can we?
