With Ward signed we now have a back 5 which should be very capable at this level. Add to that Ince and Toko we should have a solid foundation to build on. Add a winger and couple of strikers and we have a decent team.

Well that's just not true. Sami seems to use his wide players as inside forwards. Although I half sense that this was because of the players available. Lua lua a right footed left winger. March a left footed right winger. Buckley wanting to leave. Fenelon still with some development needed.

Anyway a debate for another day. Let's enjoy Ward's return.

The buckley's and lua lua's are not whats required!!!
Solly march is the type of players we need,but with more experience naturally.Players with a brain and a good technical ability are required.

Is that not due to the options available. For me Lua Lua was wasted in central midfield an experiment that failed he is only of use as a wide man for 25 mins at the end of a game.against a tiring defence.

No one on the Wing?

I think Lualua will make a rather good inside forward/ second striker. The nearer the opposing goal the better! I think he could solve our striker problem.

He laid on the pass to Macca (left-footed finish) from a more central position.

And against Wednesday was sent clear by O'Grady in a move I don't think Ulloa could have done. Only an outstanding stop by Westwood prevented a goal from Lualua in the first half.

I am strongly in favour of the one winger 4-3-3. Not the wingless wonders.

We still need a play-maker from open play and free kicks. Even if you are happy with Forster-Caskey taking everything (and I think he is the best choice), he may get injured. Of course, we have not seen Toko yet, except for the video, which did not show him as a play-maker.

Ideally, a playmaker should be strong on the ball. Forster-Caskey (and the highly-rated Will Hughes) were not like a Jimmy Case who seemed to treat it as a personal insult if the opposition tried to get the ball from him!

Yep CMS is crying out for his balls to be slotted in for him like that. Twas a good goal, and well found Lua Lua.

If the caption for that Brum Mail article is correct - i.e. that it's SW in recent pre-season training - then he's got quite a few kilogrammes of tummy to run off in extra training before Saturday!

The way Sami likes his fullbacks to get forward, he'll get rid of that by half-time ...

I have no doubt he was our best player and a goal near the end was deserving of a contract because without it we would not have made the play-offs.
