What is wrong...

It worked for those few games against shite teams - Fulham, Sunderland, Spurs () etc. We'd get stuffed by a top 8 side imo.

 

Plus the backups are dire.

 

this 100%, we'll beat the crap well enough but once they come up against pace/quality they're fucked...then there's the fact viduka & owen will never play close to a full season and our backup is appalling

 

keegans not a miracle worker man, you can't polish shite!!

But beyond the top 4, alot of the sides are pretty average.

 

We went to Spurs and absolutely trounced them. We could easily have nicked a win a Fratton Park, where we matched Pompey pretty well. Practically every game saw Owen miss a sitter that on another day would have seen us winth the game.

 

If the team is competent and doesnt self destruct, then 14th through to 5th/6th isnt as difficult as it seems on paper.

we could do with a few more bodies in defence - LB, RB another CB

a few more midfielders, maybe another striker.

we've not got a bad squad, it's just a little on the small side.

we've always had bad injury problems and it's important to have a bit of strength in depth

I'm gutted we never went for Crouch tbh as he's a fairly similar player to Viduka, just younger and less fat.

 

He can't head it.

 

neither can viduka....
