Who do we need to give us a final push?

[simpson]

I think a striker either a young lad from a prem side, or someone like nugent or earnshaw.

I also think we need a natural left-sided winger ...someone like sinclair from chelsea.

I think other signings may be needed in centre midfield just to give us abit of strength in the squad.

Who do you think?

In two words, a defence.

[simpson]

i think the defence is dodgy at the mo, but who could u drop ? corty and shawx are scoring , griff has had two good games and is captain and i thought pugh did well. Simo had no chance with all 4 goals this week.

[mermaidsal]

I know, that's the trouble. But the last time I felt really good about our defence was the first Newcastle game, maybe there's a clue there about our best full-back pairing? Not that we're likely to see it again with Griff back - I was hoping he'd be the leader we need, hope he still will be but it's not happening yet really.

[simpson]

someone told me Carl Cort was a free agent.Worth a punt ? just till the end of season? Abit like we already have i think.

[Stick It On Cort's Head]

a goalkeeper who doesnt flap.

[Gunslinger]

I hate to say so, but a solid central defender would have been nice to tighten up a few things at the back. A Taggart'esqe figure would be valuable the last few weeks.

Or Camoranesi...
