    Half Way Point of the Season

    We sit 5th.

    5 points behind 2nd place.

    IF we can have a good Jan window, keep Isak (I think we will but needs highlighting) then we can really push on in 2nd part of the season.

    When you consider that very dodgy run we went on, 5th is a fantastic effort.

    We can't afford to lose any of our star players and I think we need to add a RW and a striker.

    Too true, but another thing in our favour is that after the Spuds game, is we only have 8 away games as opposed to 10 at home.

    3 points to the team in front of us, and 3 points cover the 4 teams behind us.

    We?ve been relatively lucky with injuries (Wilson aside), if that continues to the end of the season it?ll be a minor miracle, but that?s gonna be key.

    We have Botman coming back soon which will be massive? Burn has done very well, but having that pace in defense will really make a difference.

    We really need a couple of new faces, I know money is tight so am not expecting massive amounts to be committed (so likely a striker is out), but given where we are I?d like to see a RW and a RCB come in? it?ll be good for squad depth, to freshen the dressing the room up a bit.

    Seeing Miley and Osula get more game time will help too? we?ll likely need them in the run in, let?s give them some time if we can.

    That Kudos looks the part to me. Expensive mind but would fit the bill of a matching RW threat. I also think he could fill in as a number 9 if needed. Only 24 and I think West Ham would sell.

    Equally - we bought in James Bunce for exactly the reason to improve this, maybe this is his impact beginning to show.

    Dunno, man-think he's one of their talismans.

    Definitely wouldn't now that their main man Bowen is out for 2 months.

    Great point.

    There?s still freak injuries than no S&C coaching is gonna be able to prevent, but hopefully the common strains and pulls are being swerved due to his influences and the teams he?s put in place/revamped.

    Great player, and someone who can play through the middle (Gordon isn?t the answer), but like Zip?s said? with Bowen fracturing a bone on his foot there?s little to no chance they?ll sell Kudus, and if they did it?s would be for silly money.

    Aye right player wrong time with Kudus unless you have 80mill+ to spend. A lot of teams looking for a RW player right now.
