I see where you are coming from JV, but seven goals conceded in six games tells a good story. I think I've attended four of those games (and countless others over the past few years), and while the Wanderers boys are prone to the odd mistake they do contribute with some solid stuff, Luque is a good young player, How's distribution is dodgy as you say but his tackling is often excellent, Young is developing into a nice player and Shaw, well, he's a bit like Mark Jones, you'll never get less than 100% commitment defensively. So I see your point about distribution after the ball has been won, but winning the ball in the first place hasn't been too much of a problem.
Without the Chileans their midfield would lack a slight bit of creativity in terms of through-the-middle play, but their stocks out wide are actually pretty handy, crossing is definitely a strength (heading is not without Frischkent). The addition of the Chileans and Singh is the real X-Factor for this side this season, the ability to play a diagonal ball forward and use Singh's speed is a great counter for when things are going too well in the midfield mixer.
