I don’t think it was the wrong deal to sell him. We got a good fee for a part time player.

We just have never got a good defensive modifier. Going down he’s exactly what we need imo. It’s going to be a battle, everyone wanting to beat Cardiff, large away followings, low home followings.

If you're including loan signings, then Karlan Grant was decent and Sory Kaba did the job he was brought in to do (although he wasn't very good). I also think it's way too early to write off Alex Robertson, who turned 22 a few days ago.

But the point you're making is a fair one. Recruitment has definitely been poor in recent seasons.

There's an article from Wales Online reviewing Morison's signings. The one thing that strikes me is it seems to suggest that he was either instrumental in the signings or at least had a major influence. That's a major departure from where the club had been in the past 3 years since when the club has adopted a more 'scientific' and analytical approach to player recruitment. Whatever algorithms the likes of Deboys and his fellow scientists are working to, they've failed to include pace and strength to the criteria. It's a damning indictment of the squad that none of us can name a stand-out player.

The defensive side of the game has been our biggest problem all season. Teams come right through the middle of us every game, no one gets near them never mind make a tackle.

Of course if we can get a good defensive midfielder who also likes to “play” wonderful although I doubt it, next season is going to be more physical than ever in league one and we are far to soft.

We have to find players who can pass a football, make quick decisions, give the ball to a blue shirt, open sides up. We've got enough cloggers, Ebou Adams isn't a very good footballer.

Where are we going to find 16 of them?

Ask Paddy Deboys who not to sign, and sign them
