If you follow the Mantra, Attack is the Best form of defence, then, to a certain extent, having a couple of just about OK GK’s fighting it out for the number 1 slot should be fine this year if we are considering mid table safety the aim. However attack is only our best form of defence when we have our best 10 outfielders on the pitch and our scoring/creative 4 of Roberts, Whitehall, Ewing and Howe are on the pitch. What contributors are highlighting is that the GK’s and back up strike force /creative midfielders are nowhere good enough to sustain a promotion challenge and should long term injury rob us of one of the creative 4, we could struggle to survive outside the relegation places!
