thats the only thing we lack at the moment
we have heart and effort in abundance but we seriously need an outlet when we are in defensive positions
today I noticed when we cleared the ball, it was going straight to the Reading players as options were limited, where-as when Reading cleared, they had Jobi and Kebe carrying the ball, these players were constantly hugging the touchline ready for the counter attack
it allows them to relieve the pressure
all three promoted sides last season used a similar system
i know it sounds negative but just something small to pick at, one or two pacey wingers will really do us well

Ill give praise for Conway today who did try to beat men going down the wings and putting in crosses instead of cutting inside but he did now again!

The one player I can think of, off the top of my head, who is probably the best player in the world at carrying the ball miles in order to relieve pressure on a team, is Gareth Bale.
Problem is, he'd probably cost in excess of £40m
