Yep - my biggest concern was the front line

Well, actually, no, it was DFM (potentially the area where Jim an I properly do agree!).

Our success under lambert did rely on a string of useful backup strikers, which we've not really had in the current regime - Rhodes apart.

I'd have been interested to see whether he'd have made a difference if we could have got him instead of Drmic.

In the absence of other alternatives, letting Hugill out on loan seems a mistake too...
