Why was a CB not Worthies first signing of the summer?.....

it was blatantly obvious (and the reason we were relegated) because we had such a poor defence. I, and i think virtually every single NCFC fan said that the player we needed most of all was a CB.

We have not got one and we have not replaced Francis which, for a club that is supposedly looking to become an established Premiership scandalous.

I said about 6 weeks ago that i feared that these boards and Canary Call would be flooded with frustrated and angry fans asking the questions "why was the defence not strengthened?" and "why was Francis not replaced?". I hate to say it but i was spot on.

Questions need answering.
