It’s not about spending money.
We do need a centre midfielder, I’ll admit that, but we could quite have easily played 4-5-1 like Wolves and nullified all our chances of going for a win by settling for a point and hoping that we grabbed a goal from somewhere – which is what we would have done under previous regimes. But instead, Martinez set us out to have four men committed to getting forward and creating what they could and, well, it didn’t work, but that’s not necessarily down to a lack of quality.
We need somobody to drop deeper and recieve the ball from Bramble and Scharner, otherwise they will have to resort to just knocking it about amongst themselves. Neither Brown or Thomas did that and when Gómez did he was followed by David Edwards.
