I watched their match, men against babbies for ninety minutes. They don't have a forward capable of holding the ball in the opposition half, and if you take Sako out of their side (which could happen very soon, as his contract's up in May and they may need to cash in while they can) the attacking threat in general is non-existent. If they paid a million quid for that George Saville then they really haven't learnt their lesson from the days of Premier League overspending. They need at least one new CB and maybe even another, because Batth and Ebanks-Landell aren't even top-level Championship defenders let alone Premier League standard.
They'll still grind out wins against the poorer sides in the division, but today exposed what happens when they come up against quality: they end up defending around their own six-yard box all day long.
