As Tricky Hawes would no doubt say...

... our players aren't as good as many people seem to think they are. Expect big changes in January.

We need to play 4-4-2 which means two consistent, capable midfielders (we currently have, possibly, one - Etuhu), decent competition for Hucks on the left and a quick, tall central defender. We'll also need a proper long term target man. That's assuming, of course, that Earnshaw doesn't go in January.

Today was *not* about poor tactics and team selection. It was about squad strength both in terms of technical ability and mental strength.

Grant has made two 'signings' so far - Chadwick (who looks like he will do what's necessary) and Ashdown (who knows). Too early to judge Grant I think...
