So when we look at our first team, there's 3 positions that need fixing

Goalkeeper
Right back
Right wing

I like James on the right but there will be times we need something different there

Seamus is solid at right back but obviously can't go forward much anymore and he doesn't offer much in the way of a final ball

Pickford is done now let's be honest

Now I didn't name centre back because we are good there although some will disagree, probably get one on loan

My question is, which of those 3 positions are most vital to be fixed now? Maybe get a right back on loan because we need a good fast energetic right back, Kenny is not fast or good and Coleman can not attack

Aside from James we have no options on the right, Iwobi can play there but not against good teams, Richarlison can also play there but is wasted

I assume most people will say right back can wait until the summer or maybe January, obviously we have to get rid of some players first but I do think our starting 11 is good, just lack quality depth in some areas and there's a massive flaw with tiny arms at the back.

{Ed025's Note - if i could pick my priorities would be...keeper, CB, striker. in that order mate..

I'm confused when everyone is crying out for a RB Coleman is playing well and Kenny will do as a back up it seems now Davies isn't playing Coleman seems to be the new scapegoat me I will be happy if we just bring a GK in and move out 4-6 players.

I think Kenny isn't at the level. If we had bad luck and Coleman picks up a knock for a few weeks or more, we would be in big trouble with Kenny. i'd like to see a RB come in and one good enough to become the main man with Coleman as fantastic cover. (it's this scenario that maybe behind Coleman blisteringly bright performances so far, he's playing for his life) it's definitely not pressure from JJK. The kids not good enough.

Agree Brank, in fact maybe Davies could do a job at right back?

{Ed025's Note - tom is not quick enough or strong enough to play right back woburn, gets shoved off the ball far too easily for my liking and would give away far too many free kicks as well, hes the king of the mistimed tackle too mate..

I agree Ed he is ''not strong enough' physically or mentally mate .

{Ed025's Note - i dont think anyone would dispute that 247 mate..

I think Davies needs a loan move and then we will have a better idea if he is good enough. I'm in the category of giving him one more chance only because he's played under 5 different managers and been in a very poor side which hasn't helped his development.

I’m not using Coleman as a scapegoat and he’s done really well this season

I’m talking about going forward, he’s not at the level he used to be and as a team we need someone who can do that job

Kenny is just not good enough, far too slow and unadventurous to play for us.

Spot on with two of your comments there, Brank. TD could benefit from going on loan for a season to see if he can cut it, I'd prefer it to be in the prem than seeing him move down a league. As for Kenny, I've always thought he was going to be a decent player and he hasn't had much of a chance so far. Give him a season under CA and then see if he kicks on from there. Don't get the clamour to get rid of him tbh. If we only do one more bit of business in buying a player then it's got to be a new keeper, no doubt about it. Romero (if that's how you spell it) would do for me, wouldn't cost the earth and has over 100 caps for the Argies. Not too shabby that like! Saying that, I'd be happy if we put ed025 in goal to get rid of that clown we've got now.

{Ed025's Note - i could,nt do any worse BP..

I think RB is covered by Coleman, Kenny and Holgate. Not an out and out RW but a RWB that will get forward and cover the space in front of RB. James is really an up field No 10. Any case we need now to trim before any more incomings.
