Stranded Royal_jimmy blythspartan Another disappointing deadline day but I am not surprised tbh. I just wonder how Pauno will now set us up and whether he has learned from past mistakes.
My concern is that if I am an opposing manager setting up a team against us I’d be marking Swift out of the game and telling my players to press us, score the first goal and that’s job done. Basically, what is there to fear about us anymore?
I am doom and gloom at the moment but still looking forward to the QPR game. Maybe teams might underestimate us and we’ll get enough points to keep us out of the bottom 3 between now and January.
I'm not sure teams will underestimate us when we've got known pro's like Dann and Drinkwater who will play week in week out I expect.
Pauno definitely needs to look at our set up. We have a seriously unbalanced squad.
It really isn't unbalanced now given how we want to play. We are probably just a striker short.

8 players who are best through the middle of the pitch, bugger all quality or quantity wide, one right back in awful form, a second left back who is currently injured and actually a CB.
It's an interesting definition of balanced. Well I guess there's nothing out wide to tip it towards either flank
