Do you have any realistic target suggestions, and perhaps a budget for them?
If we can afford another winger then yes we certainly have plenty to spend.

However, it's utter stupidity to spend on certain areas of the team if other positions are far more pressing.

Re: Teams faced so far

Looking at previous seasons, we'd averaged over a point per club against those in the top half, basically taken around 12 points from the top ten at least.

Norwich got nil.

Unless we start to put points on the board against the top half clubs it's pretty much impossible to stop up.
