Crest of a wave

No, I meant a bigger kop because that's what I said. What do they call those people who rip up the clients' brief and do what they want? Oh yeah, the 'design team'.

More likely the "accounts team".

Strengthening defence (centre) with 2 players of quality and experience at least at this level is a must if we are aiming for a top 10 finish, get these in and add a touch more pace, and I'm sure we could achieve this aim, top 6 will depend on how well Bill and Ched perform together, if they hit optimum form and ched can get back to where he was then who knows, top 6 would be possible in my view.

Yeah, it's going to be easy, no doubt about it.

I think we'll be so far ahead by January, that the Premier League will actually invite us to finish the rest of the season in the top flight.

No chance of that, it's the pigs they're yearning for, remember.

We need a few more signings yet.
The team has some ability but we are a long way off challenging the top six.
Our midfield of Coutts, Fleck, Duffy have a good understanding and have real technical ability but they will get completely overrun in certain games that are not going too well for us due to lack of physical strength and athleticism

But, players that do have physical strength and athleticism also need to be able to play as well otherwise it will just naturally revert back to hoofball and missing Fleck out altogether........just like we did with Leon Britton
