Lets not throw this one away... invest now and get a Centre Half! 23:32 - Aug 15 with 1134 viewsTheBlueBarca

We've all pondered 2014/15 and how we potentially threw away automatic promotion by simply not buying 2 or 3 extra players in the winter to see us through to the end of the season. As we all know, signing Sears alone was not enough and the rest is history.

It does seems like Mick has managed to re-energise some of our long standing players and youth alongside a making couple of excellent signings in Waghorn and Garner and the whole thing has changed for us. We're playing football, we're attacking, we're full of energy and hope again, it's great to see but... I said a week or so back we needed more defenders and it's now even more desperate. The only negative from tonight is we scored 4 away from home and we were still not sure if we were going to get 3 points with just 2 minutes to play. We have a huge opportunity to build a run but we have got to be brave this time and spend some money on maybe not even just one but two centre halfs. We cannot let this one get away from us! If we do not bring in a couple of defenders, even if one is just cover then we could be throwing it all away again.

Please Marcus Evans, make it happen!

I couldn't agree more, tho I gather Mick has been looking - so I assume the money is there.
Losing Smith and Webster and with Berra gone, we desperately need another defender.

Let's not run before we can walk - it's early and I'm not going to say for a moment we're in a promotion hunt. If we're still up there around Christmas yes but not yet.

We need at least one centre back just to stabilise the squad due to the number of injuries and illnesses we're suffering from but Evans doesn't have a bottomless pit and Mick is going to be very careful with the harmony within the squad. This season is about rebuilding the relationship with the fans and redesigning our approach to a more attacking brand. If we start chasing a dream which is probably out of reach we could end up doing more harm than good.

Who's the Brentford cb - stripped of captaincy until he re-signs. Let's get him.

Although Shef Weds and prem teams are after him.

If we end up finishing 15th then nothing will have changed and the owner's lack of investment will again be cited as a reason many won't renew. Strike while the iron is still hot, let's not wait until the damage is done this time!

In truth Mick himself doesn't want to invest much more into the squad - the injury/illness bout is unprecedented and practically club would struggle with ten players out who have started for the first team.

One centre back in, yes, and Mick has already confirmed they're actively looking and Evans has agreed someone is needed. Two? I think that might be pushing it a bit.
