No pace or aerial threat. 
How about Campbell? Has pace, presence and strength and decent in the air. All a bit desperate I know but if we don’t carry a threat opposition will be able to play without fear

Why, I fear we will go down. Even poor sides can attack us, knowing that even if we get the ball we`ll probably not do them any damage. By the time we get in their half, they have plenty back defending.
We are just too slow. If, as seems likely, it`s too much to ask of Mustapha, why bother to sign him. Maybe go like Pulis, play for corners, long throws and hope we nick a goal.

Isn’t that what we are doing?

Eg maybe start with two up front (despite being half arsed, Maja still looks the most capable of scoring, so him behind Heggebo), use Jed or Imray plus Styles in the back four, two attack minded midfielders alongside 2 from Molumby/Mowatt/Price in the middle.

It's pretty thin gruel I'll admit, but we aren't going to turn into the Brazil of 1970 with what we've got, so just got to hope it's enough.

When is Bany due back?

A week before he gets injured again.

I’m beginning to think that the real Bany is dead and we forgot to insure him, so back as soon as we can afford to hire his doppelgänger again. And then off injured.

Meanwhile, part of what got Ramsay the job was his ability to sound like him on the phone to his Mom.
