I agree…. Our defence terrifies me, as does our midfield. I we haven’t got enough physicality in that midfield, bypass the midfield and the opposition have a free hit at a very unstable back four. Okoli is absolutely dreadful, defensively he’s okay, but he is that poor on the ball that he will single handedly cost us if he has to play like this. He will give up at least one guilt edge chance a game. Souttar didn’t look convincing either against Northampton, if that’s because his head is elsewhere I don’t know. But the CB and CDM’s are genuinely a major concern.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, because I can’t stand him, but maybe Hamza is the profile of player we need in the midfield, he’s dog muck, but the one element of his game that’s somewhat, acceptable is he puts himself about and is physical, which Skipp isn’t.
I guess we won’t really know until full time…… all I know is I’m really not looking forward to it and have a horrible feeling about it.
