Brellier has been ineffective too frequently

Whilst I rate Chadwick very highly, and I still have faith in Huckerby, and think Croft is a good player, I think our weakness is in the centre of midfield. Russell is not a patch on Safri, and is limited technically. He did well at Stoke allegedly, but I put this down to their style, and reliance on a big effective target man (sidobe), which meant Russell didn't have to create but could be workman like. He's exactly the same player who left Carrow Road under Worthington, correctly in my opinion. We need two new centre mids, a target man (I agree with you here), and a decent centre back to partner the Doc, and left back cover for Drury, and then we might start pulling away to safety, but that all costs money. I hope the Turner's are willing to spend the cash.
