We need an "enforcer"

Watching today it struck me that one of the things we are lacking is an "enforcer" at the back/midfield; a physical player who can stamp a bit of authority on the game. Blackpool's McMahon was all over LuaLua and fouled him several times (KLL did himself no favours by going over rather easily though), what was needed was a tough lad to put in a couple of "hard but fair" tackles to show him who was boss. Since El-Abd left, we haven't really had anyone in this role.

We might be able to convince Chuck Norris to get his boots on for the last couple of games.

We have one in INCE but OSCAR pulled him out of action now and not even on the bench but hey we've still got Andrews :)

Yes I know INCE had a couple of indifferent performances on his last two outings and maybe was a bit leg weary but if he's not back in the squad or even starting on Friday I'll be very surprised

What we need is more creativity in the middle, someone who can play a quick pass.

I thought the ref today was weak in the first half, he let Blackpool get away with murder. No need for an enforcer in my book.

Why do people keep mentioning El Abd as a fighter we need? I loved the bloke don't get me wrong, but he wouldn't have played in any of the games where people go 'we need an enforcer'...His influence would be very limited from the subs bench!

I know a fella whose nickname is "The Streatham Enforcer". Sadly I don't think he can do the job. He's best known for being barred from several pubs in south London.

We need decent strikers even Mullery has pointed that much out

Isn't he injured?

Thought that was why not in team?

And we have looked much more solid with Andrews in that position. I wonder if the answer could be to get Ian Chapman from Burgess Hill to do the same job Charlie did last season as we seem to lack fight from the management side of the club.
