I hate to sound negative but based upon what I saw against Borussia Monchengladbach we are in for a long, hard season.

First the positives:-

- Ruddy looked confident
- We passed the ball well and generally controlled the midfield
- Snodgrass and Turner look good signings
- a number of the players had good games
- for a large part of the game we matched a good side.

Now the negatives
- Holt was isolated
-we could have played to Christmas and wouldn’t have scored

And there in is my concern. I thnk we do need a new striker but I think even RVP would have struggled in this game.

A PL team would have been all over them like a swam of ants. The way CH sets the team up we will not create so many chances. we will get one or two a game and must take the few chance we have. this is where you need a top striker and unless we buy a bargain wecan’t afford one.

As I say….a long season
