10th or just above finish this season means we have quickly found our level and can prepare to begin moving up this Summer. I echo what others have said a RB/WB is a priority along with at least one quality striker but please not Delap, Parrot or god forbid Wilson.

After watching our last few games those players in would be the bare minimum, we have several that need replacing.

We need to play some of those who sit on the bench week after week to see how they perform.

Fully expect the owners to invest in the summer. My gut feeling is we'll see 4 or 5 come in. We have no attacking threat from our full backs, a couple of ageing, slow centre backs, no decent strikers, and too much reliance on a couple of attackers.

Spot on, JB.

We don't know what we have because, barring injuries, we only see the same 11 every week.

C'mon now, sometimes he swaps Barry and Paul Chuckle about up top.

We've been in dire straits for years and bizarrely some people are now unhappy with the job Moyes is doing. I personally don't agree with some of his decisions/tactics, but we've had a safe season for the first time in years (apart from him turning last yr into a safe season when he came in) and the club feels on a stable footing for the first time in a decade. We desperately need two quality full backs that are good going forward - but we're rebuilding and need to be patient. Everyone wanted immediate success when Moshiri came in - we spent woefully, chopped and changed managers, and became a mess of a club.
Interesting note on the strikers - I don't think either of them are good enough for where we want to be (but love Beto work rate and attitude). Between them they've scored 14 in last 17 league games. Given that there's pretty much only ever one of them on the pitch at a time, that seems a pretty good return. Can't be many other strikers in the league that have scored 14 in last 17?
