No we don't. We have two right backs neither of whom would be in the team if we had more money plus a young left back who is still learning his trade and again in a perfect world would probably be backup to someone better.

Additionally we do have a long term sicknote that no-one has actually seen play and don't know if he's up to it plus a couple of central defenders who can do a job in an emergency

I also apologise if I offended you. You are correct about Gareth Thomas, and I believe some posts from here were quoted by him. However I do seem to remember he was asked his view on Brighton fans calling us “pikeys” but he chose not to reply

Thomas is a t***. Just look at how he got Mike Ruddock sacked after the 2005 grand slam. All because Thomas thought he wasn't given enough credit. Sums him up as an attention seeker.

Obviously, no excuse for homophobia.

I think fullback is our weakest position this season. Trouble is you don’t want to buy someone and potentially impact on the development of the young fullbacks we do have.

Perhaps a left back on loan would have been an idea?

I think there is still money to be spent as well…put perhaps not as much as 15-20m.

I think they probably are

This argument will rage.

We have 2 good RBs but neither are spring chickens so we could face the same issues as last season with lengthy injuries, having to bring CBs in as cover etc.

At LB, we have 2 serious quality players - but they are spring chickens! Both need more time to reach the quality we crave (one less so).

On strikers - get a loan in who can hold the fort for a season while our young players season. After all, the club has hired specialist coaches to do just that.
