posted by Rm (Guest) - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 2:55 PM Optimist I like your attitude, but I can't agree with you, that we have a few winning games coming up. Next up it's West Ham, who apart from that lapse against Man City, are in very good form, and it's not a side that we hardly ever beat, even last time that we ere in this Division, and they beat Newcastle 3-0 away in their last away fixture, and they beat Palace 3-2 last Saturday, a team we lost 0-2 at home to them. We then go to Newcastle, who have lost their last two home matches, they will certainly but up for our games, as they will not want to lose a third home game on the trot. On Boxing day, we are at home to Wolves, a team that have just beaten Chelsea and Newcastle, and they will be out to prove that they were the best team in the Championship last season, despite our boast of being the best team. Next up Huddersfield, who fought like fury against Arsenal and only lost 1-0 with a goal scored right at the end. This was against a team that we lost 1-5 at home to. Then of course we visit Arsenal. Optimistic, can really see us getting more than 1 point during these fixtures. Well I certainly can't. Roll on Oldham when we will probably keep a clean sheet ! !
posted by A C (Guest) - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 3:18 PM AC, you seem to have got yourself in to a negative vortex whereby the teams we have to play who are winning will beat us because they are winning and the teams we have to play who are losing will beat us because they will be determined to stop losing. Same applies to us - we will have to stop losing and once we do we will generate a bit of momentum and nose up out of the mire - just

posted by The Optimist (Guest) - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 3:33 PM I believe A C is pointing out what's fairly obvious; winning or losing, the other teams are playing better football than us. All the "we're better than ....... (fill in the blank) is a load of wishful thinking nonsense: we're not and the results prove it. Rainieri, excellent coach though he is, can only work with the players he's got. As to the transfer window, who's doing the picking and who, with any class, would want to take a ticket to the championship? Keep the faith Optimist; you represent a beacon of hope in an otherwise very gloomy picture.
posted by The Arizonan - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 3:45 PM 4 points from 2 home games and the other 2 away games were Chelsea and Man U which nobody would have given us much chance of getting anything from. Ranieri needs a bit of time and I remain optimistic we will stay up. Call in blind optimism if you like, but I feel happier that way!
posted by Chris of Jokes - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 3:46 PM Agree with most of what you write though think we might get a point from the Brunswick under 11 side who didn't realy impress me !,
posted by Harry (Guest) - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 3:56 PM Everyone knows our main problem is in defence and I believe we could go a long way towards fixing that by getting Gary Cahill in on loan. It would suit us and Chelsea and it's got to make sense for the player. He could restore confidence to the likes of Ream and Mawson and with a run I'm sure Bryan will show us what he can do. Take all defensive duties away from Sess and we'll get the best from him. We really are not that far off being safe lower half standard. Oh and finally, Seri just has to better than what we have seen so far. just find the switch and I'm sure we'll be pleasantly surprised
posted by The Optimist (Guest) - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 3:57 PM Hopefully they've tapped him up already. Should be a day one signing in the window.
posted by The Arizonan - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 4:36 PM Proof of the pudding and all that. Let me see, we’ve beaten Burnley and Southampton. Shipped 40 goals in 16 games and are currently propping up the rest. Infact need to gain 4 points over 17th placed team to escape the relegation zone. That is to assume the 3 teams above us don’t gain any points. Hmmm. Admire you’re optimism but don’t call the rest of us surrender monkeys, more realists. Your proposition is based on quite a few ‘ifs’ and hopefully they come to pass, but the situation is what is, dire. Have your opinion by all means, hope you’re right, but don’t put the rest of us down for having ours.

posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 6:16 PM I got the reference, it’s said tongue in cheek. There are positive signs, if you care to look. We’ve abandoned Fosu-Mensah, moved Sess into attack permanently, discovered Chambers, seen Mawson and Rico come good, reinstalled AK47 as a vital piece with the ability to hurt other teams. We learned that without possession, like away against the top 6, it’s wise to bench TC...but we need him for the full 90 minutes against everybody else. All small steps forward to finding our best and most reliable XI. We’re also closer to locking in on 4-2-3-1 system. Last year’s 4-3-3 and the 3-4-3 we toyed with, left us too open. United was a step backwards for Ranieri. But the last month, even including Slavs final matches, we started to figure out everyone’s best position. To me there are only a couple questions left. Who is our “best” left back? And would StefJo or Macca be better for team balance and cohesion than Seri? I still believe if the right players play in the right system we can succeed. But with this team against this competition, it’s walking a tightrope. If we don’t get it perfect, both manager and players, we go splat.
posted by Drago (Guest) - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 6:23 PM Drago' i would just like to add on to compliments about AK-47 Kamara. I was banging that drum before lots recognised how good he could be. Kamara is by no means the finished article yet, but i have always stuck in his corner when people have written him off. I am not looking for a sorry, or why i am obsessing over Kamara etc, i am just happy for the guy, and that an astute and knowledgeable manager like Ranieri can also see his potential. Also really pleased that more Fulham fans are now seeing his potential and use in this nervous Fulham squad. I like what the Optimist is saying, and i really feel that we will beat this relegation record from our position, and beat the odds for the drop. We will concede the most goals ever probably, but we will have enough talent to survive the drop.

My guess is that any redevopment will be contingent on us remaining in this division, which is most unlikely. On that note, there is an interesting analysis on Fulham’s woes in today’s Times. Definitely worth reading and certainly adds perspective to Seri’s performances to date.....
posted by Rm (Guest) - Tuesday 11th December 2018, 7:49 AM Surely with a lower capacity the mandatory number of away fans will be lower too? I am hoping to be relocated to the Hammy End as opposed to the Putney, but not at the expense of someone else's seat as that would not seem fair. I am pretty sure that there is a limit to the number of ST's as some tickets have to be held back for cash sales, although I may be wrong. If that is the case, then hopefully there will be room in the Hammy End and JH stands for many of the ST holders in the RS. Not sure how they will work it out, loyalty points or via some form of draw.

Must admit the Riverside plans look amazing assume that’s what they’re starting actually seems like a good man to take us forward he’s made a few mistakes this season is going to be a testing one I know many supporters aren’t happy but this time last year who would of thought we’d even be in the premier league only need to win around 8 games throw in a few draws plenty to play for.
posted by Mike (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 7:50 PM Ground improvement is a capital expenditure. Done properly it enhances the value of the real estate while contributing to cash flow. Straightforward business decision. Who's moaning? As for "making a few mistakes this season" would that have anything to do with the certainty of us being relegeted due to Khan's ineptitude? Then there's the small problem of two fraud investigations hanging over the club which, as Cali pointed out, you all seem reluctant to discuss. The whole shambles is down to Khan Jr. and McIntosh and you're blowing smoke up Khan's ass? Incredible.
posted by The Arizonan - Monday 10th December 2018, 8:45 PM It's not about moaners we are all FFC fans....

And yes Riverside plans look good.....So long as signs say TK keep out & stop meddling.
posted by Will (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 8:58 PM The chairman and the manager make the big decisions but honestly those players cross that white line there the only ones who should take the blame. Too many players not delivered for me tom Cairney club captain been a massive disappointment so have the new signings were all Fulham fans and want the best for the club all this city talk all capital investment etc really you can’t be serious
posted by Mike (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 9:17 PM It's not "city talk", it's straightforward business and yes, I am serious, but that's a whole different discussion. By the way, I also think the plans look very good. As to the players, I couldn't agree more. With the exception of Rico and Mitro and probably Odoi the rest have been a massive disappointment and that's down to them. They're all highly paid professionals and yet - no pace, no width, no vision, no heart. Being six or seven thousand miles away I can't comment on performance other than what I see through the lens of the TV camera and so I defer to those who actually watched the game live. I have a better view of the business end of things and so I watch the Khans in the US news, watch Kline on Twitter, follow the USM shenanigans in the press, online and on here. My views on capital investment are as valid and as relevant as yours on team selection and player performance. Yes, in our own ways, we're all Fulham fans. Long may we continue.

Can't be bothered to read it, hope Schurrle is not including himself as part of this so called 'talent'. He was sh*te on Saturday and it's amazing how when he is ready to come back he starts yet Kamara scored a goal and had to sit on the bench!!
posted by FFC Fan (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 11:33 AM I think Schurrle looks quite under-nourished, and although he has a decent turn of speed, he loses the ball too easily to more robust defenders. He's stated he turned vegetarian/vegan after a nasty bout of food poisoning, but you wonder whether he needs some nutrition that's going to bulk him up a bit. No, the protein in lentils ain't the answer.

posted by KUNYE (Guest) - Sunday 09th December 2018, 11:50 PM Hello OWEN. Will you please stop going on about Balotelli. He had his chance in the EPL and failed to cut it. Headbangers (and Allerdyce) we do not need.
posted by willie2B (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 3:17 AM Balotelli would be a disaster waiting to happen. He just wouldn't fit into our squad, because he's all mouth and no trousers. What we need in defence are tough, hard men who take no prisoners, lay it about, and are used to playing at EPL level week in and week out. In midfield we need players who would even outrun Kante, and be able to split open opposite defences, like Snodgrass and Jonjo. In attack we need proven scorers at this level like Zaha to feed off Mitrovic. At the moment we've got highly-paid fairies prancing about the field with no desire to COMPETE, TRACK-BACK, and COMMAND RESPECT.
posted by stephen terry (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 6:23 AM The last time we were in this mess we looked around for players on loan and got Johnny Heitinga from Everton - thats the type of player we need, a warrior who gave everything even though itcwasnt his parent club
posted by Keetch54 - Monday 10th December 2018, 6:32 AM Owen- you have an obsession with Balotelli. Whatever form we are or team we have, he's never a good fit to play with Mitro. He doesn't have the pace to play off Mitro. He needs supply of balls and we are not able to do that at the moment. Name me a team with two big strikers....that formula only worked in the 80's and 90's. Not now. So if you think the two would gel - think again!
posted by John (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 8:35 AM Owen, do you really think “if I put it about maybe Khan will act”? I don’t think so mate. With regard to Balotelli, I think he would be the last player I would pick to get us out of this mess. He is a luxury player, he is not a hard working type of player. Whatevey striker Ranieri signs in January we will still need a midfielder to get the ball to him, or them. This is only my opinion Owen so please do not reply with a long drawn out post ending with capital letters. You have given your opinion and I have given mine. By the way, the next time you are in contact with Khan please tell him to stop his son buying players.
posted by Terry C (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 9:18 AM Owen you summed things up with your opening statement " It won't happen in a million years" We all know that those in charge will carry on doing things they consider best for the club,What the rest of us feels matters not one iota!
posted by Harry (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 9:35 AM Owen reading your recent posts I thought you’d turned the corner mate, they were interesting and started to make sense. However with this one about Balotelli you have gone back to being out of touch and downright silly. Reading this one and it’s taken me time to respond because I started banging my head and then could see the funny side!! It’s like Ranieri he gave us a little hope with those performances and results once he took over the hot seat and then brought us down to earth at Manchester. Please don’t be offended long may you continue, your feverish enthusiasm stands out a mile.

posted by Will (Guest) - Sunday 09th December 2018, 9:29 PM Brian' we have given Mitrovic a bit too much slack lately. He also has been terrible. The few chances that come his way, comes to nothing. Maybe he is tired? All of them need to up their game in the coming weeks. I wouldn't put my hand on heart and say that Johansen and big Mac would do better? I assume so, but i could not be certain about that. I always stood by Kamara even when some fans didn't rate him. Kamara still infuriates me to frustration. The guy takes the coolest penalty i have ever seen, and yet in front of goal,he blazes it over skyscrapers, what is that all about? They all need to go back to Motspur park and work on their individual weaknesses. Back to basics, and practice practice just like Ronaldo does after training. We are not as bad as we think. We beat Burnley and played fantastic football, we played fantastic against Brighton, and Watford who we should have beat. We conceded late on, but you know something? Fulham do have a habit from the Championships for conceding late goals. Come to think of it, this is not unusual for us. The prem is much more brutal, and we get punished every time. Football is a confidence thing, and our only way to break out of this gloom is to keep on working hard first back at Motspur, then bring it on match days. Ranieri is working out who and what works. The UTD game was a never win game. Obrien he tried out, i don't know what he thinks? Christie he left out for a reason,we will see who plays next. It won't be easy against West Ham, and i hope the big guy, Arnautovic is still injured? We need to play well, but we also need some luck. The puzzling thing is, have we gone back-wards as a squad? or are we the same ole' same ole Fulham from the Championship? In the Championship we got away with murder a lot of times with those silly passbacks. I don't know???
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Sunday 09th December 2018, 10:14 PM I agree Brian and also with OWEN's last sentence. I believe the problem is pretty obvious. A flurry of late buying (Tony Khan I guess, possibly SJ was not totally excluded) gave no time to put a team together. SJ was overwhelmed with new players and failed to identify his best 11. Hence first 6 plus games we had strangers playing with strangers. Also injuries with Mawson and Bryan were a major setback. Mitro' was always our target man but he has found EPL harder than championship - surprise, surprise. But he has not had the service that he had in the championship. He is good enough but without a reasonable service he will not score too often. Seri and Vietta are quality players but lack strength and must do an Andy Murray or go. I don't have a solution (does anyone?) but I would stick with strength, which equals Kamara, Anguissa, Macdonald with Cairney (loses the ball less than Seri) and Chambers. The backs must be Mawson. Bryan and Adoi (until January, we must buy a quality right back. If this lot can't feed Mitro, then buy someone who can. Last but not least, Sess. That leave a good bench - Schurle, Seri, Le Marchant, Johanson & Ream. Finally, Ranieri has to minimise his tinkering. I doubt this post will attract notice but clearly, most of us could do better than SJ and Ranieri put together provided Tony Khan steps back.

They BUY the players and do that so badly that all the above points are rendered moot. The vast majority of the blame for the current situation lies with bad recruitment, as Rainieri is rapidly finding out.

Their lack of any football knowledge, their hubris and resultant piss-poor management is bad enough, but having one of the leagues most family oriented club skating on very thin legal ice in TWO seperate fraud investigations has, for me, made them totally unsuited to be involved in our club in any capacity, irrespective of how much money they throw around. Take off the rose tinted glasses John. Stop being blinded by thier dropping small change. This major, ongoing and embarassing f#ck up is down to the Khans and their milquetoast CEO McIntosh.
posted by The Arizonan - Monday 10th December 2018, 2:06 AM None of us knows the truth but it does seem that Khan bought the club as a wedge in for his American football. Meantime a toy for his son and his computerized player picker who threw his toys out when he was finally rumbled. The truth may never come out (this is football after all, a really slimy business) but unless Tony Khan steps back, our club will only go one way.

posted by JBH (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 8:54 PM The fact is the owners spent £100m - every penny of the cash flow they get with the promotion. I tell you it hurts them even more how the investment has turned out. Now they are committed to the stadium build work. Why do we still have doubts and blame them for everything - I really don’t know. I don’t know the Cardiff owners but would you swap Khans for them? No investment having got the promotion! Or would you prefer the Southampton owners? Who sold any assets they can realise on the pitch! How about the West Ham owners - sold house and rent one (albeit a nice one) on the cheap? Finally, how about the Newcastle owner??! Say no more! Think about it! I feel I have to defend the owners as I have been for the last 4years!
posted by John (Guest) - Monday 10th December 2018, 9:25 PM Defend tham all you want John, very noble, but MAF was a lifetime ago. The Chairman is a business man who leaves the running of the club to his son. The performance problems are not of his making. His son, however, is a sporting dilettante with no clue as to what he's about, no focus, no strategic direction and a tin ear to boot. Perhaps that's why some of us are less than enamoured by what they've done, and are doing, to the club.

If as so many of you think that Tony Khan is the main problem, surely there is not the slightest chance of him stepping aside, so we are stuck with the same scenario which doesn't bode well for all of us who cherish our cllub

posted by big gazza (Guest) - Sunday 09th December 2018, 2:02 PM Sobeit' 8 wins and a draw it is, i think we can do this, i think we can break records, and we will break this one! I have seen some funny results so far in this prem, and teams like Cardiff are picking up points when they shouldn't get a sniff. I think they call it overachieving, and Cardiff are doing that lately. I don't know what it is about Fulham at the moment, we are certainly underachieving and our players can't seem to work out the puzzles at the moment. Seri, Marchand, Even Anguisa ex-man Utd? UTD don't pick many bad players. For various reasons around Fulham at the moment, there is a lack of confidence on top of our usual worries. That is why we need Ranieri to sort this mess out, and he will in time. Wolves are beating Chelsea 1 minute, and Chelsea beat Man City? I could go on with some more ridiculous stats, but i see it that anything is possible. They used to say that a team that finishes 3rd in the Championships never go up? We did that because Fulham were better than 3rd place. Even in the Championships, we were sometimes losing to teams like Burton which made our lives harder. We never do things the easy way, and we all get frustrated. We all love Fulham to tears and i feel that we all want players like Seri, and others to show something. If only we can unlock what is stopping our players from performing? Ranieri knew we wouldn't beat UTD, and maybe he did the juggling with Obrien and no Christie etc for a reason. Just maybe Ranieri knows or will know which players and what positions is best in a situation. After all, did we really think that we would beat Manchester UTD? Mourinho has stated that Ranieri is the most important Manager in the prems history, and everything about Mourinho and his time and successes here points back to this quirky Italian man. We are doubting him now we have lost a few games. We need the tinker man to unravel his box of tricks and get us out of jail. If Ranieri pulls this off? It will go down as one of his greatest achievements of all time. To rattle off 8 wins and a draw you say? No problem guy's' WE ARE FULHAM!!!!!!!!!

posted by Harry (Guest) - Sunday 09th December 2018, 4:58 PM Hand on heart, are any of us enjoying this season, because I am beginning to hate it. I am really fed up with my club being the laughing stock of the Premier League, and that is what we have become. Give me the calm waters of the Championship, where everyone has a chance of winning. If, as expected we do go down, then I hope that it will be at least a couple of seasons before we return, with far more experience than this short visit. I do enjoy watching Premier League football, but when every game I watch I now have to worry how it will effect our position in the table. Watching today's Newcastle v Wolves game, is a case in point. I am willing this match to be won by Wolves, or even looking for a draw. So no enjoyment whatsoever.
posted by NORMAN (Guest) - Sunday 09th December 2018, 5:09 PM Well Norman, you have just had your wish as Wolves have grabbed a last minute win. Looking at both sides, if Fulham can't take 6 points out of them over Christmas, then we are certs for the drop. We are only 5 points behind Newcastle now, although 6 if you count our really awful goal difference. Norman, I must admit I slightly agree with you about being back in the Championship, as we are proving at the moment that league, is our level, but don't give up just yet. I have a friend that supports Palace, and he has the same feelings as us, as he reckons that they are very poor and will be relegated. COYW
posted by Brian Jarvis (Guest) - Sunday 09th December 2018, 6:04 PM Agree Len. The bottom six this season are truly atrocious. 15th-17th could all have less than 35 points if that’s even possible. I think we’ll beat Derby 2008 point total thankfully but relegation is all but certain.

Sensible post big Gazza Surely Nobody really expected anything from Old Trafford apart from perhaps a bit more effort. Why we should suddenly be gripped by panic following a hiding from one of the big boys is quite beyond me. We have plenty of time to put it right and there are clubs around us that are very ordinary and catchable. Slavisa should never have been shown the door but at least following yesterday’s tame surrender Ranieri knows exactly what he is up against.

i think the khans have been great for the club. There's no real money in fulham football club and they've invested. They don't pick the teams or set up the squad to play. They don't arrange the tactics or make the subs. Not one of last years squad is good enough for the premier at the moment and all those who think ream and cairney are good enough are sadly mistaken. Out of the players brought in few have succeeded but until they are seen that is not known as several came with big reputations. But keep blaming one person it takes the problem from all the other failures at the club.

posted by Bacchus (Guest) - Sunday 09th December 2018, 6:58 AM All week before our matches, I think we are going to win or draw. Before the Leicester game, when they were without Vardy, I thought, great we should win this one. but no we throw away a lead near the end again. Then everybody said that Man U, were there for the taking, as they are out of form, and had a very hard mid week game against Arsenal. What happens, well the team is inexplicably changed around, when we looked to have a settled defence, and we showed no fight, or football skill. Quite rightly all the media are now saying that we look certain for the drop, as we need to score at least 4 goals a game, as we are likely to let in 3. I was so looking forward to this season, thinking that we would do OK, but now it is turning into a nightmare, and all the enjoyment that I was looking forward to, has been washed away. It looks like a quick return to the Championship, with one of the worst records ever in the Premier League. I'm really sad about that.

The football we played was exciting and a breath of fresh air. We ran rings around most teams and looked better than half the Premier League teams for much of it. Now we know that the gulf between PL and the Championship is greater than we envisaged. The real sad part is that when we go back down, and I'm with Brian on that point, we won't have the manager or players to go back to that style of football. It will likely be what we have now but against a lower standard of oppo. I'm already feeling nostalgic for last year but cannot see much ahead to lift the gloom.

With hindsight we should have made it a priority to keep Fredericks we miss his blistering speed down the right and tried harder to sign Targett and then give last year's team , the one that got us promoted , a chance to show what they have got bet they wouldn't be bottom of the League !

Big Mac would be better than Anguissa, Schurrle just isn't at the races. Schurrle is a luxury player and he is better in a top 6 team. I like AK-47 and i want him to do well, but we also need Mitrovic to sparkle. Mitro just isn't performing at the moment, and our big worry is the supply to him, it is terrible! Ranieri needs to pat attention to the little details about the opposition. Example; Ashley Young, always always' will trick back onto his right foot to release a shot or a cross. He will not shoot on his left foot. Even you and every fan at Fulham know that one Drago. It is so frustrating that a one trick pony like Young can still get away with that goal, Criminal! I will come off now or i will be moaning all night. Disappointing day...
posted by OWEN (Guest) - Saturday 08th December 2018, 6:49 PM Agree totally. I really do think that he should have played an unchanged team. Shades of SJ, players really don’t have a chance to build up an understanding in competitive play.

posted by Mortlake (Guest) - Saturday 08th December 2018, 7:07 PM I think the new style is safe pedestrian and not suited to our style.. personally I hate it and unless we pick up points very soon I think watching this style of play and losing v depressing.. personally we made a huge mistake forgetting the team of last year and the youth players who I have seen who could nt do any worse than some of the £100m talent.. What about Matt O'Riley instead of Anguissa, Seri or even Schurle..its a joke
posted by xtc (Guest) - Saturday 08th December 2018, 7:30 PM Watching the games this season we seem to be the only team that is not fit enough to cope. Under Slav we played possession football and made the other teams work until we saw an opening, over the last three games we have had to change our style using players that were trained to play this way and were economical fitness wise. Now we have to play a style that they haven’t played before. Time is the crucial thing now, we need to get some sort of results before The window opens and then buy the right players. In all honesty I feel for some of our players.

Sadly, true. We would have been better off keeping faith with the squad that took us up and banked the rest. In fairness, every pundit thought we had bought exceptionally well, especially when we got Seri. Even the experts have been proven wrong and we have clearly overspent. Am still convinced that it was right to release Jokanovic, but not sure if anybody could make this squad work.
posted by Rm (Guest) - Saturday 08th December 2018, 3:54 PM very disappointed with team selection today. Chambers has been playing well so why pick Ream who has again confirmed that he cannot clear the ball out of his own penalty box. Mawson again is showing that he can defend and without him we could be 5 down. Midfield continues to give the ball away and frankly, I've had enough of Seri. Have to agree with Kevin. Let's get down and begin our rebuilding, hopefully without input from Tony Khan.

posted by FFC SUPPORTER (Guest) - Saturday 08th December 2018, 4:47 PM Chambers, Kamara, Mitro, Mawson, Christie - they have the physical attributes to play at this level. Sess and TC have the skill, but you can only play one finesse player like TC in the XI, and not against the Man Us and Man City’s. Ranieri needs to prioritize mental and physical strength above all else for us to survive.
posted by Drago (Guest) - Saturday 08th December 2018, 6:59 PM Chambers injured in training, but don't understand why Odoi was preferred at RB to Christie. We need to be looking at the likes of Cahill on loan from Chelsea in January - he would fit in perfectly with Mawson at the heart of the defence - then we need to find a proper defensive midfielder, plus a creative alternative to Seri and Cairney in midfield and either give AK47 an extended run to link with Mitro or find an alternative to AK - Mitro can't do it all on his own. Then we might have a fighting chance of staying up.
