We continue to set up like this then we will be relegated. If we don’t sign a decent striker thats fit and a decent central defender ( like we should have done pre season) then we will be relegated.
Is Tomiyasu still fit and without a club?
and currently I would take Bamford

I'm not suggesting it would be the answer to everything, but SP really has got to find a way of rehabilitating Magic Mike back into the squad/team. He's clearly got talent and talent which "appears" to be of the required level and he could just make the difference when and where it matters. He'd certainly give us more offensive threat.

Today just further highlights the sheer chasm between the Championship and the Premier League. It’s more like a game of chess at this level now, with one wrong move very costly as per the goals we conceded today. 2/3 quick passes and bang, you’ve conceded!
In fairness, at times we look like we can compete, but we are sorely lacking in our attacking play and teams like Villa only need 3/4 good chances to bury us over the course of 90 minutes.
The next two games are now must wins in my opinion otherwise I don’t know where the wins will come from…..

Agreed -their first goal was well taken. Chances are in the cHampionship the forward does not score

We've been short of a goal threat for a long while now, when you look at our ranks of Foster, Broja, Flemming, Barnes etc etc none of them are an out and out goal scorer at Championship level, let alone Premier League.

Apologies yes of course Chelsea. I saw him sat amongst or around the subs on Saturday so assumed he’s fit, obviously not.
