We are missing a big, strong dominant centre half, not necessarily Reda.

I still think a new GK is the top priority. The opposition always seem to have a better goalie than us.
I don't get this obsession with RCC. Certainly not the worst keeper in the league. He's being badly let down by the defence in front of him at the moment.
Biggest misses for me today:
Big Centre Half
Fleck
Joe Cole
In that order.
Agreed, given Reda hasn't played more than half a season for the last 7-8 seasons he was always going to get injured and miss a big chunk of the season.
We do miss a big dominant centre back, said at the time of signing Ramage wasn't one.
We also missed fleck and Joe Cole today.
The hole left by Reda is looking bigger and bigger every week. Fleck was a loss because his replacement was so, so poor.
Fleck has been key in the centre this season, we missed him badly but I would take a reda return over everything.
Not just that, I felt he tried the killer ball too often when the pass wasn't on which resulted in giving away possesion. Several times in the first half he tried to hit 30 or 40 yard passes over the top into Armstrong or Murphy which just resulted in giving away possession cheaply, then when he was passing short he either fucked it up or telegraphed his passes so was so was predictable where he was passing it.
I've felt people have been harsh on him this season but he was abysmal today.
Exactly the same way he played in his first stint here . Never understood the hype about him.
I thought he was actually better today than some of his other games at home I have seen.
I think we are missing a reda type but someone not as injury prone, we have looked very leaky at the back recently. Obviously injuries haven't helped but we need to be a lot more solid than that. I think a new goalkeeper has to be on the wish list for Mowbray also
I think the whole side has been playing predictably for sometime. Possession is predictable and safe. No zip or variation in the momentum of the passing. That included
Fleck against Burton and Walsall. So it ismore than a Bigi problem isn't it. Or inability to unlock defences includes the likes of Cole and Maddison our two most gifted midfielders.
I think it's the other way round. He is upsetting the defence. Since we are pushing for promotion, I think we need the best keeper in the league not someone who is just 'not the worst'.
Never gonna find it -a Reda type not injury prone would be playing mid/high championship
Always thought Reda was a very good centre half in this league....never understood the shit some people on here give him...
well Anthony Gerrard has just gone from Shrews to Oldham on a free, isnt he the sort of tough, no nonsense,nasty fecker type of CH we need??
No one really questioned his footballing ability, more the fact he has missed at least half a season with injury every season over the last 7-8 years.
