What physical players did we get rid of that flirted with relegation last year

We got rid of pack and Flint

Either of those could have done a job

I've said it before and I will say it again....we lack leaders on the pitch. The likes of Sean Morrison in his prime, Sol Bamba, Craig Bellamy, Mark Hudson. Even Flint.
Any one of those players would have got us over the line today and several other games this season.
Hudson maybe a good coach, was a leader on the pitch but he does not seem to be a leader off it.

Well we seem to be improving our patterns of play under Hudson

But we are not stacking up the points

He's going to have to convert draws into wins pronto

Hudson's recent record is as bad as Morison's, worse than McCarthy's, and worse than Harris. We have twice messed up by appointing someone who is not experienced enough at this level. You'd think they'd have learnt their lesson with Morison, but they went and made the same mistake all over again with Hudson. And then extended his contract.
We need to bring someone in NOW who can help and advise a very inexperienced manager. There are plenty of guns for hire out there - Lennie Lawrence, even Neil Warnock, just to name two - but it needs to be someone who can get the team playing effective football. We do have the basis of a decent side on paper, but once on the pitch they look clueless, and that's down to the management. Get some help in, and now, before it's too late.

Maybe with some help Hudson can steer us to safety

I think we have cut off our nose to spite our face too many times
