For all that we've made improvements on last season, we still don't have quite enough about us to cause the big boys any significant problems after they've taken the lead.
Hope we can make at least one or two quality additions in the window just to give us a few different options when we're on the ball.
...but when we concede so late on it'd be difficult to cause any trouble no matter WHO we had in our ranks!
But it's generally the same story even when we concede early. We need one or two players who are just that bit more comfortable on the ball or have that extra pace/skill so that there's some kind of plan B, and the capacity to turn a game on its head if need be.
Obviously even that probably wouldn't have changed things today, but it's a general observation.
