The player thought it was then obvious we needed to strengthen at the back in January and couldn't believe that we spent most of the transfer window chasing James Vaughan! Whilst he feels Bellamy has been great he feels that we probably would have been stronger if we had used that money on signing two top defenders! Tactically he also felt a lot of the team didn't know their jobs and this resulted in a disjointed side! Whilst he likes dj he feels that this season wasn't his finest moment! Not exactly rocket science but nice to hear that the view within the squad was similar to a lot of fans!
