Agree. The main problem area for me is having a player to fill that Hamer role.The biggest area in need of improvement is undoubtedly midfield. Not only are we short on numbers, we’re short on quality.
In all the games so far, we’ve generally struggled to create clear cut chances and in games where we’ve threw away leads, the midfield has lost control.
Yes, COH and Palmer are to come back, but we need someone who can play further back. The Hamer direct passes to Gyo was crucial to our success last season and I do think we could have success with Wright in a similar fashion.

I know we have not been taking our chances up front, but I think that will come.
It's the midfield playmaker we really need and that I feel would really transform our fortunes.
I can't see any way at all that we would bring in yet another keeper.
...that plays in CM and can play through balls.Someone with massive bollocks who is older than 23
No one will pay good money for O'Hare in January. He would need to be playing regularly and showing he can get up to the level he was pre injuries before that happened.Out:
3 senior keepers - Collins is new, Wilson is not Champ standard and Moore has an easy life. Moore needs to be sent out on loan at least if not a free. Sign a quality keeper if Collins isn’t given a chance and proves his worth.
Fadz - not quite out of the door but he moves to the bench as a back up player. He’s out the door in summer for sure.
Ayari - back to Brighton. Waste of space and money. Doesn’t have the balls for Championship football.
CoH - if he hasn’t signed a contract by Xmas move him out if someone offers a big transfer fee for him, an even a few million? He can of course talk to any clubs from Jan. However, is it worth just keeping him till the end of the season and say farewell? Quite possibly as we won’t be able to replace him quality wise. Depends on his fitness as well.
Tavares - he’s never a Championship footballer and he needs to be sent out on loan to regain fitness and game time.
In:
GK - top quality keeper needed. I like Johansson of Rotherham.
CB - we need a quality CB who knows this division. Just get whoever that is to replace Fadz. It’s a priority.
CM - we need a dynamic midfield player who can hit the ground running. Box to box action player. Will cost a decent sum no doubt.
CM - need another experienced CM player who knows this division and can be relied upon. Could be a loan.
ST - potentially if Tavares sent out.
Yes I think spending big in January could be a big mistake. Very easy to waste money and end up with more players on long term contracts that we don't need. A couple of top quality loans in the positions you say (Amad Diallo should be fit but doubt he would come here) and an experienced striker on short term contract to help develop Simms and Wright is what we need.I don’t think it’s a good idea to try and fix a team that’s already struggling to find its identity by doing another total squad overhaul in January.
Bring in one or two difference-makers to add quality in the areas that really need it (CM, AM) and leave any big rebuilds until the summer.
We are not buying a fourth senior keeper in January, and no Championship team is going to take Wilson or Moore as part-exchange anyway. Their value is almost nil.The Rotherham manger seemed to suggest Johansson would possibly leave in January for a big fee.
I wonder how much he'd seriously cost? Could be offer Wilson or Moore as part of a deal?
What did we spend £600k on Collins for, if it was not to be our long term goalkeeper?The Rotherham manger seemed to suggest Johansson would possibly leave in January for a big fee.

I would expect a good first choice for that much, which hopefully he will beSuppose it's the going rate for a good backup keeper?

Good for us maybe, we could do without them gaining any more ground so sticking either of those 2 in their net would be ideal.If Rotherham were losing a keeper, I'd imagine Wilson would be a good replacement. Same with Moore.
Why are we desperate to sack off Collins all of a sudden? Did he do something wrong?
I guess the thinking is if Robins is still playing paper hands ahead of him then he can't be up to much, but personally I'd like to see him play before making that call. Feel it's probably just a case of Robins misplaced loyalty.Why are we desperate to sack off Collins all of a sudden? Did he do something wrong?

Don't remember much about the game tbh, but its 1 game. Weren't both the Wimbledon goals well taken from memory?He was garbage in the cup.
Was he? Don’t recall him doing much wrong. But sure, let’s ship him out, he’s had his chance.He was garbage in the cup.
