If the brothers have any money and their recruitment is everything it's cracked up to be surely we can find a centre half who is an improvement on the two above.

An injury prone fullback (Fisher) and a loanee from Wolves aren't the answer.

Having said this - it's a disappointing dose of reality but I don't think 11v11 the game plays out anything like that.
The obvious conclusion from that game is that we should have been in for Sowumni, but as we all know he probably wouldn’t be judged to be a good enough footballer for us.

We ask a lot from our centre halves, but obviously the higher up you go the better the defenders they have to be. Let’s hope the Wolves lad is a baller cos we’re in bother if he isn’t.
