I think the best way to attack is to attack quickly and accurately. Pearson and Lawler/Manny do not provide that so I feel we need someone who picks up from them. I think Walker is wasteful, that's bad for attacking and brings pressure on to the defence. I think that's why he got subbed

Of the three weaknesses I outlined I think the best option for improvement is the holding midfielder. It's probably the cheapest option but would have the biggest influence on performances. I can understand the cry for a great striker but they are really hard to get in January.

I think we could afford a division one standard holding midfielder. We couldn't get that level of striker.
