You're not alone in thinking this but with respect, Saturday exposed our biggest flaws and none of those 3 players you think we require would have made a difference. Perhaps a RB with more defensive awareness but even then, clutching at straws because he was not to blame and this constant bashing of Forde seems off target to me. He's becoming a scapegoat for too many, in my opinion.My point is we lost to a more physical side which KR said we needed to address after the play off defeat, we didn’t follow that with our summer recruitment and yet again struggled against a physical side. Recruitment over the summer very nearly perfect?? no left back cover, no CDM cover and Forde not a natural RB to cover?
We've conceded from 4 or 5 corners in under a week and that to me is not a personnel issue, rather a tactical problem which you cannot get away with at this level. There are a number of clubs who cannot compete in open play and rely heavily on their efficiency from set pieces. It will be the only way some teams can beat us. Plenty of time to fix it but it is a worry that 2 very, very averages sides have rolled us over this week from set pieces alone.
