That type is in every successful team, our failure is partly due to not having someone who when the going gets tough shakes a fist, puts in a tackle and pumps up the players... and it also intimidates the opposition psychologically. Don't get one we are going to fail again.  (Unless Dempsey can get back to his full potential and fills that void)    

I’d sooner we had a forward who can hold it up effectively and bring others into the game. BOD or Jerome type but still fit enough to play 30+ games.

Maghoma would be an outstanding signing.  Far better than anyone else we could dream of realistically signing.

I'm in the same camp.  Our best midfielder by a mile last season IMO.  Of course he's no tackler, but neither is anyone else in our midfield.

I just want a new Per Frandsen, why can't midfielders not do a bit of everything anymore??

If he was around now Chelsea would be paying £30mil for him when he was 19.  Either that or he'd be trained to stop trying to take a player on or shoot from distance and he'd become another identikit pass pass pass player.

Correct and with Maghoma being crocked and ineffective the whole game, it added massively to our lack of creativity. 

I’d love to see him back. 

So would I.  But we also didn't just lose to Oxford because we couldn't create, its because they were a better team on the day (as you say not helped by Maghoma's injury one bit).  If our one shot by Sheehan had gone in and it was us leading instead of them do we really think we would have seen out the game at 1-0?  Its just not in our nature to grind out a 1-0 against a half decent team, we all know what the 2nd half would have been like with us 1 up.  Our physically weak midfield would have gone missing and it would have been like the Barnsley 2nd leg.

I understand all that. My point being a good player would be worth craving for. Karl Henry. No

Even Ipswich signed Morsi for that role.

I think he's out of contract FWIW. At 32 he could be bought for a million. Just sayin'

But if we were spending that kind of money maybe we could tempt this little ratter over from S Korea. Great feet too, but doesn't score many.

The tackle on Maghoma in the 1st minute at Wembley set the tone for the rest of the game, we bottled it. Thats what we are missing, amongst other things!

This - 100% with big ringing bells on..

Crocked, quite deliberately, minute 1, by the very type of player wer, apparently, don't need.

Pur it thia way, If WE'D had Brannigan do you reckon we'd have gone up ?

I do. 

As bad as Maghoma was at Wembley, he wasnt as bad as Brannigan was in the 5-0. And he wasn't crocked. Just that the game passed hoim by completely (Except the free kick he gave away that we scored from).

I'd love us to have a Cameron Brannagan type in midfield

If we had this type of player, who is he replacing and where is he playing?

Surely this breaking up play type of fella sits deep in Sheehans role.

This new midfield hardman serial killer needs to be able to turn on a 6 pence with 3 men on him and find a killer pass as well as being a hard as nails ex convict mother fucking bastard that eats glass every morning for his breakfast.

It passed another 10 players by as well!
