Goals from midfield

[jcrossan]

Got to believe that problem is well on the way to being fixed.

It will be like watching a whole new team at the start of the season.

Even if things don't work out the way we hope, still got to give credit to Quinn and Bruce for moving so quickly and decisively to get players in.

we still are lacking in height imo (atm) though, i still think we may struggle from set pieces

The two strikers are tall, the midfielders aren't. We know we are after more players including defenders so we may get some height in yet. O'Shea would be a bloody good start

They are both 5' 10" which for our midfield are veritable giants

Yeah but one of them you could argue is replacing our only midfielder who had any height and they are both quite a bit smaller than he is. Mind the way Henderson played you would think he was 5 foot nowt

SSShhh man, you're playing into that twat from talksports hands

Aye, Gardiner should get 5-10 goals if all goes well.
Sess should probably get 5-10 goals judging by how he finished the season.
Larsson will hopefully get 4-5 goals from free-kicks.

Plus, Wickham and Dong are 6' 3 and 6' 2 respectivley apparently, which gives us height up front, so we may even get a few more goals from set-pieces too.

But yes, my initial thoughts are that we have made some good signings.
