It was the most desperately needed position to be strengthened pre season and Harris hasn’t bothered

Or has not been supported, feels like trollope and Slade all over again.

A ten is big target man - we’ve got Moore and glatzel?? Why hasn’t Harris signed a winger who can cross or take a man on, and midfielders who can get hold of game should be your question. What we have is utter crap. You could also ask why we don’t have a 9 but we are well covered with 10’s.

A ten like tomlin, a mobile creative player

Didn't lack a creative player as such today... we lacked a forward thinking player on the wing both wingers were non existent and didn't or couldn't beat a player! Only succeeded in having 3 successful crosses out of 23? Considering we bought a 6ft+ forward that shows the problem we got and what needs to be addressed, also moore played the ball facing away from their goal more times than he played in their area

That's now regarded as a old school 10...the new modern 10 is the attacking midfielder, behind a striker, most effective with a pacey number 9 in front of them.

I don't get what's gone wrong with the Sanderson deal. He knew our style of play, he knew the players, he did a great job for us... And yet rather than get him back we go get a inexperienced right back who's never played a league or even competitive game in England (I believe) we signed pack, who cannot play if we plan to play with a number 10, as he is immobile and sits in front of the back 4, but he doesn't have the mobility to play it effectively or even in the middle of the park.... We seem to be a transfer window behind... Last summer we needed a right back, and we got one on loan this summer... This summer we need a creative ball playing midfielder, someone like Barry Bannan... We probably won't sign one until next sunmer
