We seem to be overloaded with average midfielders and none of quality. I thought that Dicker was poor last niughts as he has been in most games this season and Harley who I think has ability was also poor. I have yet to see the sparkle that Lua Lua inspired last season and he seems to have lost his pace. The problem is that the option is to put Vincelot in instead of Dicker which I would like and if he is fit enough Vicente to come on when Noone tires rather than Lua Lua. Other than that we are down to Navarro and Sparrow and I dont want to see either of them in a first team shirt again, and think they should be sent out on loan or released to a Div 1 club. If all fit my midfield would be Buckley on the right Vincelot and Bridcutt in the middle and Noone out left with Vicente to come on as needed until fully fit.
Ashas been said many times we desperatly need a commanding central defender please hurry back Adam.
Close down , chase ,not allowing us to dwell on the ball , fouling,all these factors Palace and others will use against us ,and for us to climb to that next level we need to counter these tactics,i remember Southampton at home last season,and i thought then that we still are not the strongest team.This is still a problem.
