The poll asks who they'd like to see. Neither have been confirmed as ruled out, yet. Dyches press conference is tomorrow when he'll provide an injury update.

It's pretty mixed

Thought this would be interesting

I've seen Patterson beat a man and cross a ball. I'm convinced he can offer us something going forward that would help. The likes of this, albeit U21 - a pacey, accurate cross; and this against Sheff Utd; ... watch that. I dont think any other full back we have can give us that. The engine...

Only Wolves scored less than us last season. Only Sheff Utd have scored less than us this season. 19th and 19th for goals scored then. Being so poor at scoring goals dictates relegation scrap. A big part of being unable to score goals is we have full backs who offer absolutely sod all going...

Bloody hell.

No good when you run a fan site! "What do you mean you dont want an Everton jigsaw?...." I had an email campaign drafted and ready to go in December to send when we next won. By the time we beat Burnley, I'd forgot about it lol

As it would the past 2 years, and it still could now.

Just checked and not quite - because Speed was sold after 24 games, and Stuart after 17. But the reality is that team you consider our worst, scored more than this team has for years now, and achieved more points.

Already responded. There's a few like Speed and Stuart who is missing from your list - sold that season, but still scored 10 goals for us. For me, Speed, Stuart, Barmby, Hutchinson all walk into this team - as does Ferguson. Tbf, I'd have Watson and Short in ahead of Tarkowski too. That team...

Thats what I said. We're much more highly strung/pressure environment than Nottingham Forest or Luton. I understand why, for reasons we've said - but it's still a concern. Leicester felt like Goodison the season they went down. Again not really blame or forgive, just acknowledging that...

It is. It just happened. We also had this under the previous manager; We also sacked Benitez on 18th Jan, after this; Baffles me how fans think we have a decent team. There's no pace, or ability whatsoever in that final third. That dictates relegation scrap - as it has for years now...

You say it's not accurate, but it's opinion. My opinion is the team that's put us through the last 3 years, longest club run without a win and lowest ever points total is the worst squad - the balance/lack of pace/ability to score goals and win points to keep us up. People can scoff at that...

It's not about blame, it's recognising that a key factor attributed to helping the club remain in the league is perhaps no longer there.

Speed and Stuart both played that season too. Appalling team that finished on 40 points. Balance wise though - there's midfielders who can pass a ball - Speed, Suart, Barmby, Hutchinson, and a striker there who has double figures for goals. If we had that now, we're comfortable. You can only...
