I agree on that loosing that many players, Not many teams would be able to cope, but if we are to be a Top 2 team, WE NEED at least 3 more players.

CCFC seem to be content to sign only loan players and free transfers and NOT spend any cash on players , Im guessing now that the only reason we didnt sign Howard was that Leicester wanted a fee for him ?

IMO the biggest single reason for our start to this season has been Oli and Drinkwater the agression and quality these two provide gives the foundation for the other players to express themselves.
As usual our starting 11 is as good as anything in the division but beneath that well that's where DJ earns his money, sending out such a lightweight midfield last night is a massive failing on his part absolutely no doubt about that.
We should also remember that during our run to the playoff final last season probably our two most consistent players were Gerrard and Blake. One has left the club the other cannot get a game and who do you think is the most aggresive midfield player out of Rae, McPhail and Blake.
Sorry DJ take a long look in the mirror this morning.
