It would be interesting to hear IB’s thoughts on how we stop being a soft touch at set plays, which has been an ongoing problem since, I would say, Shola Ameobi left. We need some height and muscle in the middle of the park too, to help out in these situations, so let’s see who we (hopefully) bring in this week.

Logic says we’re not going to get promoted if we’re conceding two goals a game, as we did too often last season. It’s only “acceptable” to be involved in high-scoring games if you’re winning most of them.
