    Obviously Jota and forrest to come back for RW/ Lw but where do we need to improve over the next 6 weeks. I like Turnbull but I just don't think he's mobile enough for the way we play especially when rogic is also in the team. Ye starfelt was fairly poor today but between him ccv jullien and Welsh I think CB isn't the priority.

    Think some players we all would have in the starting 11 can be improved on. It's not just about depth

    An absolute quality rw and our front three are frightening...

    Aye, you buy someone to walk into the team, pushing someone not good enough out, thus creating depth.

    We need to sort out the defence firstly. We can't continue to concede from corners and set pieces. If it's new personnel in the team or better defensive coaches.

    Think we're light on attacking midfielders.

    Wingers, both first choice RW & back up for both wings. Centre half (1st choice to partner CCV). Back-up Striker (assuming we punt Ajeti). A top quality defensive mid. A 1st choice LB who is a considerable step up from all the average ones we have.

    Definitely another big CH, a back up keeper as we would be fecked if Hart got injured, an attacking box to box mid fielder and a RW as Abada just isn't doing it and Forrest is picking up too many injuries. If we can get rid of Ajeti then maybe another CF. Big ask, I know, but if we want to move forward then we have to speculate to accumulate

    Lacking in a few areas. Think going forward I'd like to see...

    Hart
    Ralston/Juranovic CCV X X
    McGregor
    Rogic Hatate
    Jota Kyogo Maeda

    Definitely could be doing with a first choice left back and centre half. After that, a bit more depth in certain areas. Midfield, back up keeper and another striker.

    Midfield needs tuned up a bit which will hopefully be in January along with a striker in Maeda. Think a quality winger on the right hand side is increasingly looking like a must. And of course a decent backup goalie.

    A Petrov/Armstrong style runner in the middle of the pitch would be useful against teams that sit deep.

    Would like another striker as Ajeti looks to be on the way out and Giakoumakis hasn’t proven himself here yet.

    A left back would be nice too.

    For Me, come January, we need

    Winger (Maeda)
    Two midfielders (Hayaye and Ideguchi)
    LB
    CB

    I don't think we'll get a CB in January, and I think we'll need to punt Bolingoli before we bring a LB in.

    I'd like to see us improve defensively and Ange bring in his own backroom staff. Other than Stevie Woods, I don't think JK and GS are helping us progress.

    Depth in all areas.

    A board with a backbone

    Protection and a fear crack of the whip from officials and the footballing government mental

    We could go on

    If the three Japanese guys sign then we will look quite decent I think. Maeda can cover left wing and up front. Hatate can fill left back or central midfield. Ideguchi could cover both McGregor and Turnbulls position by all accounts. Not sure how much we would need after that really. I would be happy enough. Possibly a third choice striker, someone to use in emergencies like at the moment. Cheap but reliable maybe. Prepared to be ridiculed but maybe someone like Tony Watt.

    Badly need more firepower so we can rest the front 3 or 4 and not lose the quality in our attack during games or injuries.
