Midfield has to be the priority.The ginger lad for them covered more ground than our midfield on his own and was no mean player either.We lack energy and pace in midfield.

Watching yesterday's first half had me pondering how far behind we were with tactics, movement and ability to win the critical second ball battle .
Second half was a different matter and to win a game like that confirmed my possitve thoughts for next year .
We don't need wholesale changes as we have the nucleus of a decent squad .
Sorry didn't think Whittingham was MOM, part of me thinks it was a swansong decision to award it.
Need something different in midfield pacy box to box lad .
Something wide as I think Harris will go , he's good but perhaps not the wage that's been asked for .
Manga ditto in relation to wages , however he does have great skill when he plays, let's be honest how many games will we get ,if he stays, we need week in and out players in this league as we don't have a like for like positional squad .
Richards / Bennett were good yesterday, the keeper is class , love to sign him .

Woods stands out because of his hair colour, but he's another of those lower division players (ex Shrewsbury) that my friends and I have talked about in recent years (e.g. Mawson, Washington, Winnall and Hourihane) as players who could have been bought for a few hundred grand a year or two ago and done a better job for us than many who cost four and five times as much did - others who got a mention were Bentley, Sawyers and Dean who were in the Brentford team yesterday and all signed for them on free transfers or Bosmans.
I have often wondered if a noticeable characteristic (hair colour/style, stature etc) is an advantage for players who want to be noticed by bigger clubs. Having black hair and a surname beginning with B at City was so common in the days of Boland, Brayson, Brazier et al.
Gosh this thread started with a football topic , and ended up in a bloody hair saloon .
