We're living off our great start. There's no doubting that City must be one hell of side to play against, but what is becoming more obvious as the games roll out is we really don't have enough quality in the side to create space when teams close us down. Bamba was hounded out in the 2nd half especially, Ralls couldn't play anything other than a square pass [with his left foot], and Bryson in all honesty could have sat down and read a book for all that he contributed.

What was also obvious is that for all his endeavour Ward is a poor substitute for Zohore, and we miss Gunnarson more than we would Ralls.

Still in the top 6 at the New Year and 3 or 4 signings [ie players that can go straight into the side], and Warnock will get us into the play offs.

But without some new blood and a couple of defeats could see us slide into mid-table mediocrity..
