Yes I feel we have missed Holmes badly, but even so, it will take a lot more than his inclusion to sort this out.
Not convinced that Svensson will ever be fit enough to have an extended run which makes me angry because I feel the defence was overlooked at the start of the season because the powers that be depended too much on the miraculous return of Svensson.
This side is simply not good enough. Even the pretty total football is disappearing after witnessing saints aimlessly hoofing it upfield today.
We are extremely weak and vulnerable in defence and toothless up front with no creative play in midfield. How we managed to win at Preston last week I will never know.
