Ideally I'd like a decent centre half so we can free up Hawkins as a striker.
Not only is Hawkins a decent striker, he scares me to death playing at the back and being relied upon to distribute the ball a lot.

Play everyone in their best position and we are a centre back short if we continue to play with 3.

Yes he is.
I don’t think anyone is arguing with the quality of the signings we’ve made and they all have the potential to improve the team. It’s the balance around the defence that is causing the anxiety and doubts.

Could it be that the quality of centre half we undoubtedly require is proving hard to sign ? The targets were Brayford and Naylor.
Brayford is currently an integral part of Burton's side. The less said about Naylor the better.

Surely he has just signed a number five, Hartigan has the number 5 shirt.
Yes it is 22/23 season. The point I'm trying to make is that making quality signings is difficult. The same has happened this season with strikers and no doubt NC tried to get Brayford again. Had we got him or Naylor, Hawkins would have played up front and that could well have pushed us into the too three.Sandy Pate Best Stag wrote:Amber Andy wrote:Sandy Pate Best Stag wrote:Amber Andy wrote:Hartigan is a good signing.

Andy it’s the 22/23 season not last year. Those two targets went ages ago and I sincerely hope we have been looking at newer ones or we are truly lacking. I’m sure players have been identified and if one is signed I’ll be happy.

which is crackers when you have Hawkins, if it’s only one more in, then it has to be a CB if we are to persist with his mystical 3 at the back
