I am fairly confident going in to the season and didn't want to be negative so close to the season but I fully expected us to learn from past lessons and have the midfield sorted well before now and a striker to supplement what we had.

As it is we are a target man (in the loosest sense of the word as the lad couldn't/wouldn't head the ball) down on what we started the summer with. It was quite difficult to do but City have succeeded at this time to weaken our already lackluster striking options.
