    He’s got the passing range to find Tomlin, to find our wingers. With Joe Ralls energy alongside that type of player and Tomlin in front that’s a massive improvement on Bacuna and Pack!!
    Isn't this how Pack tries to play? The problem is that our movement off the ball is so poor that he has very few options in front of him when he tries to pick a pass.

    Tries too but as Llandaff says he doesnt recycle the ball quick enough for me and he hasnt got a great passing range. Give the ball away cheaply quite a lot. I acknowledge your point about movement, that is an issue as well, but for me Bacuna and Pack slow us down massively. The amount of touches Bacuna needs to get the ball out of his feet is alarming for a former Premier League footballer.

    Our entire midfield needs an overhaul. We have to find a partner for Ralls and a someone that could control the game, alongside his legs. This makes Ralls look like Roy Keane but he's so far ahead of our other centre midfield options it's untrue. If we can replace Vaulks with someone that can knit things together like Allen does for Wales, I'll be pleased. That, a striker, a winger and a left back. Not asking for much .

    Alternatively, get to 50 points and play some young lads. We might as well use the season to either build for next season or see what we've got, which I suppose is building for next season.

    Agreed.
