Add to that the mystery of Pritchard, another missing creative link & the supply of quality balls has evaporated.
Yes, we need our strikers to hit the target but to do that we need our best midfield to play.
It's not a simple question of too many midfielders.
I'd like to bet a midfield of Pell, Butcher & Pritchard would transform our goal tally.

Maybe it would - but you cannot overlook midfield defensive duties.
Maybe we should all pick our best midfield and formation.
Could be a good discussion.
On the recruitment side the thing is with Charles he served the longest notice period imaginable so surely during that period our scouting and contacts should have been in full acceleration to get a replacement in that fitted the bill ?
Instead or at least it looks like from the outside we had a poor window allegedly gazumped and panic last day.
