Reality for City
Top of the table end of November=Great
BUT
There are Only 6 points between first and 12th place!!
Can we push on or risk missing out to some other top half teams.???

Conclusion
It is all up for grabs. We have some wxcellent young players and credit the manager for trusting and developing them.
BUT We need two or 3 players. In reality, that may mean selling a couple as well.

Opinion:
We appear to have a manager who has contacts and knowledge about availability of decent players. Either loan or purchase.
Certainly, Trott was a brilliant acquisition.
Ideally:
1/ We need another midfielder who is creative but also can work hard. Today we played Wntle and Turnbull. Imo that means we lack speed and are too defensive. Robertson needa to start more often.
2/ We need a pacey winger who can beat a man and put in a decent cross. Imo At the moment Bagan is our best crosser of a ball
3/ A player to play alongside Salach. It seems clear that BMM doesnt know qho to play in this role.Imo Robinaon definitely not rhe answer as he is far too lazy and doesnt challenge/ tackle.it seems BBM thinks the same. While I am still not sure what position, if any Kellyman should play.

It is all to play for in the next 6 months. What is your opinion??

First port of call is a LB, simply to add depth to that position.
Then a pacey winger.
And to be honest, keep as much money in the kitty should we get promoted so just let this current squad tick over.
Isak is there for a centre forward cover, we have enough centre mids with more pace than Wintle and Turnball... Mafico etc.

Get some of the even younger lads that beat Arsenal u21's involved too. It's the only way to develop them and actually see if they got what it takes.
