Signings so far..

Our problem area is midfield but close behind is the need for a left back, Bennett cannot defend and when he goes forward he can't cross a ball

Bennett is fine

Bennett is one of the best left backs in the Championship. Was one of the better players for us in the Prem as well last year.

We have Bennett and Cunningham on good wages, would be madness to add a 3rd.

I don't really see midfield as an issue either, ideally move Pack on and get someone in but easier said than done.

I do. We have no-one with any drive in centre midfield, no-one who can make telling passes (except Tomlin), no-one who is comfortable in possession and keeping the ball, and only Ralls is capable of getting into the box regularly. In addition, they're all a bit tackle shy and can allow too much pressure on the back 4.

Go back over 10 years when we had McPhail and Scimeca. We don't currently have a passer anywhere near McPhail's ability or a box to box midfielder with Scimeca's energy (ironic that he was in his 30s when he joined us). The game has changed since then, of course, but we have an unspectacular midfield that isn't great at either end of the park and is shite at controlling a game in the middle.
