Just need better players.
That's the irritating thing , they are good enough . We could do with maybe one more player but the squad is there to do well .It's down to Boss to get the best out of them . Part that means getting his tactics right on the day . End square pegs in round holes and play players in their best positions .Personally I think we would do better playing in a 4-4-2 formation
Not convinced it is, as a unit. Some players in their own right are but it's unbalanced as a whole. When you look at it like this...

GK - L1 standard, class player
RB - mostly NL plus a youth loan who has disappeared
CB - unbalanced (no pace), heavily reliant on Turley playing imo
LB - L2 / NL standard with only one specialist LB, who isn't playing there
CM - L2 mostly, should improve once Clay and Cissé can start together
LW - L2 with potential (Brophy) but he plays LB
RW - L2 with potential (JMD) but a striker plays there instead
ST - L2 with potential (Johnson, Wilkinson, Angol, Sotiriou) but two of them play on the wing

Not properly replacing Ekpiteta has made the defence wobblier than it needs to be, as has the ongoing RB saga. The fact the loan CB ended up there for his first real taste of football with Orient speaks volumes.
